IO Blocks by Guide CraftWe were fortunate enough to be selected to review these blocks via @Tryazon! These blocks are great STEM toys for children! My 3 year old loved playing with them just as much as we adults did!

We received the 500 piece set that included the tote of blocks and 20 double sided creativity cards with examples of what you can build and they even list what blocks you would need to create the design.

These blocks come with a really cool augmented reality app (free on iTunes and google play) that can be used with the tracker card to help you to see how each design is made! We found it easier if one person held the phone over the card and another person built the project, otherwise the app would stop if you removed it from the tracker card and you would have to start all over.

We were able to build so many cool projects! From animals to robots!
The plastic is very smooth and doesn't have sharp corners like usual blocks and bonus, they don't hurt like Legos if you step on one!

I really enjoyed watching my 3 year old use these blocks to exercise her fine motor skills and learning spatial concepts!
These blocks are available from a 59 piece travel set up to a 1000 piece educational set! There's a set for everyone!

#FancyMobility Backseat Organizer + Visor Organizer


If you know me, you know that I really LOVE all things organization and firmly believe that every item has its place. This can't be more true when it comes to all the stuff my toddler demands on taking on car rides. Whether it is a multi-state road trip or a simple 5 minute drive to the grocery store, Little Miss has to take a million toys with us or she is non-compliant and it's a nightmare.

It's moments like this that I had always wished for some type of car organizer to store all her go-to toys to lessen the stress. I was never able to find one that I felt could hold up to the demands of my mini monster and had enough pockets/pouches for all her infinite trinkets. 
I am very impressed with this organizer by Fancy Mobility. I really love the blue accent as well (matches my car :) )

Excuse my mess lol

It has a total of 16 pockets/pouches and a clipped holder that is great for holding a small bag for trash! 
The top row of the organizer has a single large pocket with a Velcro close lid flap, this is where we keep snacks!
The second row has 2 pockets (each half the size of the first row pocket) and sewn to the front of each of these pockets are 4 mesh pouches that are great for pens, crayons, little candies and charger cords. (8 total in row 2) In the pockets of row 2 we keep  a pair of over the ear headphones and some DVD's for long trips.
The bottom row has another long pocket the width of the organizer with 2 mesh pockets across the front and a mesh cup holder on each side! This is where we keep the portable DVD player with its car charger, a pad of paper for coloring and bottled water in the cup holders.

The installation was super easy, it literally took 2 minutes. There are 2 3-prong buckles like what you would find in the kid seat of a grocery cart. One goes around the bars at the headrest and the other is at the bottom, it goes around the front seat and is low enough that it can slide right into the crack at the base of the seat and you'd never feel it. They hold the organizer to the seat very well and surprisingly keep it from sagging even with 10+ pounds of stuff in the pockets!

Onto the visor organizer! Installation is insanely simple.. it has 2 elastic straps that slide over your existing visor.. wallah! Done! :D It is a little taller than my visor in my car so it doesn't quite fit but it would fit in a standard size car (my car is really tiny) There are 2 elastic spots on the visor that can be used to hold pens, but I use one to hold my sunglasses (slip the arm of my glasses through the loop and bam! sunglasses holder :) There is also a small mesh pouch in the corner that you can hold your toll booth ticket in. On the right side of the organizer are 2 mesh pockets that go the length of the visor. These are great for storing your vehicle registration and insurance as well as notes, mail, etc.

I think the best part is that these come with a LIFETIME warranty!
