We recently received a copy of Doc McStuffins Toy Hospital on DVD from our friends at Disney. Doc has graduated from her backyard toy clinic to becoming the Chief Resident of a new, state-of-the-art toy hospital!
There’s another addition to Doc’s life – and that’s a new baby sister! To celebrate the two hours of fun on the Doc McStuffins Toy Hospital DVD I decided to make Lambie’s No Churn Pink Party Ice Cream.

Our plans for Valentine’s Day are starting to take shape. We’ve decided to go out to lunch for a family “date” in the afternoon, and then that night we may do the indoor picnic about which she’s been asking. Then probably finish up with one of the family-friendly movies for Valentine’s Day that I shared a bit ago.
In the morning, of course, we’ll have breakfast. Maybe some heart-shaped toast with peanut butter to go with her yogurt (her breakfast repertoire isn’t very deep). After that we like to spend a little time snuggling and watching one of her shows together. Continue reading »
If you read a lot of blogs you may have heard a common locale mentioned recently: Chicago. Bloggers from all over the world (literally, from as far away as Australia!) recently descended on the Windy City for a chance to meet up, have some fun, and learn a few things. I’ve always wanted to attend and this year I was lucky enough to join them.
I was also lucky enough to attend what has been labeled the Biggest Night of Play and shortly you’ll see why. Sweet Suite is hosted by http://www.TheBigToyBook.com, Joey Fortman from RealMomMedia.com & Charlene DeLoach from CharleneChronicles.com and is an opportunity for bloggers to see some of the hottest toys available, as well as some that are on the horizon. And not only did we get to see the toys, we were able to play with the toys, too. Yup, that’s right – hundreds of adults walking around, building with blocks, playing video games, and squeeing like kids on Christmas morning (I may have done a bit of squeeing, myself).
Thank you to Disney for providing us with a great Doc McStuffins DVD.
If you have a toddler the words “time for your checkup” probably cause involuntary humming and perhaps head-bobbing. In fact, just thinking about those words right now has the Doc McStuffins theme song running through my head. Bubbles is taking a nap right now, otherwise if she heard me hum it out loud, she’d be begging to watch the new Disney Junior “Time For Your Check Up” DVD (available today!). That would be fine by me, because I have to admit to being quite the Doc fan, myself.
The new “Doc McStuffins: Time For Your Check Up” DVD has five episodes (though each episode is made up of two shorter episodes, so it’s really like 10) and has a run time of 120 minutes. The episodes include:
The Arcade Escapade / Starry, Starry Night episode is one we’ve seen a few times on TV and it’s one of my personal favorites. In Arcade Escapade Doc visits and arcade and finds a toy giraffe named Gaby stuck in one of those “claw” machines. She never gets chosen because she has a torn leg, so Doc and her stuffed pals figure out a way to help her. It’s a great lesson on teamwork. And in Starry, Starry Night a little star-gazing planned, but no one is able to see anything through the telescope. Apparently Aurora, the telescope, is having some issues with blurry vision.

Thanks to Disney for providing us with a copy of this DVD.
From the very first time that we took Bubbles to see her pediatrician (at age 1 week), she cried. She cried when the nurse came in to get her measurements, she cried when the doctor came in to see her, cried while waiting for shots, and cried during the shots. Crying didn’t really let up much until we were in the car and she realized that we weren’t going back in.
I thought it would end by her 1 year checkup, but it didn’t. Nor did it end at 15 months, 18 months, or 21 months. Yep. Lots of tears, every time. Each time the flow would grow shorter, but they were always there.
It was around her 21 month appointment that we discovered Doc McStuffins on Disney Junior. I don’t remember exactly how we found it; we may have just been a little slow to change the channel after one of her other shows. But from the start she showed a lot of interest. If you’re not familiar with the show it centers around “Doc” McStuffins, a 6-year-old that is able to speak with toys and stuffed animals. Her mom is a doctor of people and Doc has become a doctor of toys. Along with Hallie the hippo, Stuffy the dragon, Lambie the (you guessed it) lamb and Chilly the snowman, she runs a clinic to fix any toy boo-boos that may arise. Continue reading »
