Links I Love on Friday and a GIVEAWAY!

Head on over to my Review and Giveaway blog to find out about a new giveaway to splurge on something for yourself or check someone off your Christmas shopping list - while supporting an artist from around the world.

I do think we are pretty good about buying thoughtful, imaginative toys. Toys that grow with the children, that challenge them, offer a variety of different experiences...I loved her list. Many of them are favorites in our house.
