Strawberry Shortcake PJs for Girls {Review}


My daughter loves to watch episodes of Strawberry and her friends (unfortunately, in my area we don't have access to The Hub channel, so we enjoy Strawberry's adventures on Netflix).

If your daughter is a fan of Strawberry Shortcake, she can watch her adventures in BERRY cute, Strawberry Style!!! American Greetings sent Kira a pair of Strawberry Shortcake “Tiny Dancer” Toddler Girls Poly Pajamas Set. Kira was thrilled to receive a new PINK pair of pajamas!


The adorable Strawberry Shortcake PJs for girls come in sizes 4, 5 and 6/6X and are currently available online for $22.99. They are made from 100% soft polyester fabric (flame resistant). When Kira put them on she said they were "super soft." Kira loves her new pajamas! It was a bonus that they had Strawberry Shortcake and Custard on them! (Though she was wondering where Pupcake was???) They are perfect for the cool Spring nights we have been having this year. Plus they are just big enough that they will last through next Winter as well!

Looking for other Strawberry Shortcake clothing? Amazon has pajamas, underwear, outfits and more available!

You can follow the adventures of Strawberry Shortcake on Facebook.

Disclosure: American Greetings sent a pair of pajamas for my daughter to review free of charge . The opinions and thoughts expressed are our own. I received no other compensation for my review nor was I under any obligation to give a positive review.

Kickboard USA Maxi Kick Scooter Review

Kickboard USA Maxi Kick® Scooter with T-bar Review

Logan wanted a scooter, but not just any scooter, a 3-wheeled scooter… and Kickboard USA had the perfect scooter for Logan called the Maxi Kick!

Kickboard USA sent Logan the Neon Green Maxi Kick Scooter to review.

maxi neon green
The award winning Maxi Kickboard, or maxi kick scooter from Micro is the quality 3-wheel scooter for ages 6-11, with a rider load of up to 120 lbs. The maxi kickboard is a lightweight (5 lbs) scooter that will grow with your child; the steering bar extends from 24 inches above the deck to 36 inches. The unique lean-and-steer design allows your child to ‘surf the sidewalks’. The double rear wheels and rear brake add stability and control making the maxi scooter a smoother, cooler, tougher scooter.

Logan loves his new scooter.

Features we love:
  • Easy to assemble ~ All I had to do was attach the T-bar (steering rod) to the kickboard. It snapped in easily. I also double checked the screws per instructions (to make sure all screws were tight).
  • Enjoyed the "Kick Scooters ~ The Ten Safety Rules" visually appealing safety rules for kids to easily understand. The BIGGEST thing is reminding Logan to wear his helmet! Safety first!
  • Two wheels in front along with the T-bar allows for easy maneuvering; 3-wheel scooter design features the unique lean-and-steer mechanism
  • Adjustable T-bar = use for taller riders (grows with the child)
  • Maximum weight = 120 lbs!!!! Thank you! All of the scooters I have seen are only up to 50 lbs (or less). Nice to find a scooter that will hold more weight.
  • The rear ‘spoon’ brake is easy for kids to stop the scooter, plus the double-rear wheels add stability. We made sure Logan knew how to "STOP" his scooter before taking off.
  • The maxi kick is well made and sturdy. It is designed to last!
It's amazing how easy it was for Logan to jump onto his maxi kick and jet across the lot

  • The maxi kick scooter won the Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Gold and Platinum Seal Award for 2009 and was featured on NBC’s “Today Show” as part of a feature on The Best Toys for Summer.
