Moose Toys Holiday Gifts for Girls

November 20, 2023

This blog is sponsored by Moose Toys, all thoughts, photos, and opinions are my own. Thank you for supporting the brands that support this blog!

With the holidays are right around the corner, I’m thrilled to be able to share a round up of some great gift ideas from Moose Toys for girls ages 5 and up!

Little Live Pets Minis

Mama Surprise Minis come as a Lil’ Bunny or Lil’ Mouse, waiting to deliver their babies! Fill up the water bottle in her home and watch it magically disappear. Wait for the babies to arrive – it will be a cute and exciting surprise! Our Lil’ Bunny had 3 babies, which were SO adorable! They also come with some fun accessories to dress them up and feed them as well!

Little Live Pets Zoogooz

OK, this was SUCH a hit with my newly turned 6 year old! She couldn’t stop laughing at the sounds and reactions her Mooki Monkey was making!! It is squishy, gooey, and so much fun to stretch. You can also link it’s hands and add them to your kids’ water bottle or backpack to put them on display, but my girl loved having it hang on her arm (as you can see!)

Magic Mixies Pixling Doll

Mix the ingredients to see which beautiful doll will be revealed! Honey loves anything that involves DIY and imaginative play, and these toys have both elements! After everything is mixed, your enchanting Pixling will arrive. Ours had the prettiest streaks of blue, purple, and pink in her hair, as well as soft-good fashion clothing and shoes! Honey has already been brushing her hair and styling it in a new ‘do!

Magic Mixies Mixling

Similar to the Pixling, your little one will add in all of the ingredients – but this time, to a neat little cauldron! Watch the top fizz and bubble and find two new Mixling friends and accessories inside! This is another great imaginative play item this season.

Real Littles Desktop Caddy Mini Fridge

A pink mini fridge full of real stationary and supplies? Yes, please! If you have a girl who loves raiding your desk drawer as much as mine, she will love this! It comes with functional pens, pencils, sticky notes, erasers and more all in the adorable shape of things you’d actually find in your refrigerator at home! The mini egg erasers were both of our favorite (I’m actually not sure who enjoyed this more…me or her!) We both couldn’t stop squealing at all of the cuteness.

Magic Mixies Cauldron Game

Set up is so easy, once you assemble the spinner and put the Mixling securely in the cauldron. Take turns (up to 4 players can play this one, so it’s a fun family game as well!) spinning and adding the ‘ingredients’ to the cauldron based on what board icon you land on. Who will be the one who adds the final ingredient to release the Mixling? It is a surprise!! One game will lead to many, many more once you play. We had the best time!!!

I hope this gives you some inspiration this holiday season! We love making memories and creative play, which Moose Toys really packs into these toys! I am certain these will bring lots of smiles this season to your family too!

Hard Boiled Egg Avocado Toast

November 9, 2023

A different twist on the always trendy avo’ toast!

Ingredients

1/2 avocado
2 pieces of sourdough bread
1 hard boiled egg (grated with a cheese grater)
1 1/2 tsp parmesan cheese
1 green onion (chopped)
Chili oil (you can buy this or make it yourself)
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Start by toasting bread (with avocado oil or EVOO) in a skillet over medium heat. Once toasted, remove from heat. Spread on the 1/2 of avocado between both pieces of bread with salt and pepper. Add grated hard boiled egg, parm, and green onions. Drizzle on chili oil for an extra kick of heat!

2 Ingredient Air Fryer Bagels

October 29, 2023

HI FRIENDS!!! I’m back today with a super simple recipe that literally anyone can make! All it takes are 2 ingredients (plus some seasoning if you wish to add!) I’m making it today with Our Place’s new Wonder Oven – A 6 in 1 air fryer and toaster with steam fusion! This awesome addition to your kitchen preheats 75% faster and cooks up to 30% faster – saving you time while you cook! It’s petite, but powerful! Change the way you air fry, bake, toast, roast, reheat, and broil – ALL with the Wonder Oven!

Ingredients

1 c plain greek yogurt

1 3/4 self rising flour

Optional: butter, sesame seeds, everything bagel seasoning

Instructions

In a large bowl (or a stand mixer, which we used!) mix together yogurt and flour. Remove from bowl and knead bread a few times so that everything comes together and you have a ball. Cut dough into 8 portions. We rolled each portion to about 7″ and then brought the ends together to make a ring (hole in the center). I’ve also seen some roll each portion into a ball and then poke a hole thru the center – I think that way may be easier but it requires some stretching still.
