Wordless Wednesday: Getting Silly with @PlayDoh during @HasbroNews Toy Fair 2013 After Party in New York City!

The Hasbro Toy Fair Event in New York City was chock full of all things toys of course, and it would take hours to watermark and post all the photos so I'll post them little by little and then make a Pinterest Board as the place where all the photos from the event will eventually be collected.

Win a Gund BOO and a mini BOO too! {@Rafflecopter #Giveaway}


THIS GIVEAWAY IS CLOSED WINNER NAME IS ON RAFFLECOPTER WIDGET BELOW!

I have fellow Blogger to thank for getting me hooked on all things Boo! I was on Facebook one day, totally minding my business, and I saw a picture of Boo the dog, and it was love at first BOO!  BOO is a tres adorbs Pomerian with a BIG personality, and everyday BOO would share his impressions of his world, life with his mom and doggie room mate Buddy. What I love about his facebook posts is that you get to see his world from his perspective. While I'm doing better now, and only check in weekly, when I first found out about BOO I checked in daily for new posts and pictures!

It's the real BOO in the center of a sea of mini-boo plush toys by Gund! He's doing an 'ET'! Remember that ET puzzle?


As you know unless you've lived under a social media and real world rock, BOO is a sensation, and not just an internet sensation, but he has books ( Boo: The Life of the World’s Cutest Dog and Boo: Little Dog in the Big City) and his own Gund stuffed animals! I haven't been able to work up to getting a new dog since my Rottie passed, but I made room in my heart and my home for a super cute Gund plush stuffed animal BOO and a mini Boo too!

Sleeping BOOty - Is this not cute overload? :)


Not only is being 'the cutest dog in the world' garnering BOO a ton of attention, he has also posed for the online boutique Tobi as well as posing for pictures to raise money for the charity Operation Smile! Way to go BOO, now that's using your Social Media Influence for Social Good!

BOO has even been on Good Morning America! Check out this clip of his appearance:




 My Take:

I'm obsessed with all things BOO! And the GUND brand is the destination for premium plush toys! When I was little I loved the Gund's MONCHHICHI as well as the Curious George plush toys! And I doubt any trip to a zoo would be complete without a new GUNDimal right?

Not So Wordless Wednesday {Photos} - Disney Store Share the Magic Top 10 Toys Celeb Studded Holiday Event!



I had the pleasure of attending a Holiday themed Top 10 Toys event at my local Disney Store, where there were quite a few celebs and their little ones in attendance. We got to enjoy shopping, holiday story time in the Disney Store Theatre and one-on-one photos with Mickey and Minnie Mouse in their holiday attire!

Disney Store’s holiday theme this year is “Share the Magic” and for every Mickey and Minnie holiday plush sold from October 31-Dec. 11, Disney Store will make a $1 donation to the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

Here are some photos from the event (the watermarked ones are mine, the photos not watermarked were provided by Disney and all rights are reserved, photos used with permission):

The Muppets will definitely be hot holiday toys this year with the movie out in theatres!
