a wife. a mom. an educator. a marketer. a resource.
Want to know what everyone else is buying? I researched the top toys and games sellers on Amazon today (November 25) to share with you. As with every holiday season, I'll share this top ten toys list every Sunday through the holiday season. Top ten toys on Amazon <A HREF="http://ws.amazon.com/widgets/q?rt=tf_ssw&ServiceVersion=20070822&MarketPlace=US&ID=V20070822%2FUS%2Fthecwspecial-20%2F8003%2Fd63207b0-f8ac-4c57-8e8e-77ec72b6114e&Operation=NoScript">Amazon.com … [Read more...]
I know... I know. This series is supposed to reflect Amazon's top toy sales on Sunday nights. But, due to a course of events beyond my control, this post is a day late; I promise you, it's not a dollar short (though there are some savings inside!) Last week I posted Amazon's top holiday toy sales for the first weekend of the holiday season. I predicted that the toys wouldn't change much. I was wrong. Last week, Rory's Story Cubes sat at number two on the list. I mentioned that, for the price, … [Read more...]
Last year, I reported Amazon's top selling toys each Sunday night. It was great fun to share the hottest toys of the season with readers and hear feedback and thoughts from you all, as well as watch to see how things changed through the season.

Angry Birds: Knock On Wood Game Middle (age 6) has, and … [Read more...]
Finding a bag to pack for a conference isn't easy. You want to pack everything you can possibly need (including the flip flops!), yet not be bogged down with an arm-breaking bag. This summer, I'll be carrying my ipad in Speck's A-Line 10, a super new bag that's super padded to protect your valuable devices. It allows me to carry everything I'll need during a conference. What's in the bag? iGo Charger iPad Charger lipstick tube phone flip flops glasses case wallet ipad bulky … [Read more...]
For the 3rd week in a row, I'm reporting Amazon's most popular toy sales in the 23rd hour on Sunday night. I did this as a psuedo-experiment. I started out wanting to know what the real most popular toys would be this year, versus all of the gift guides and hot toy lists. But its also turned out to be quite an opportunity to learn about sales and how they effect people's buying habits. Earlier today around 11 am, I snuck a peak at the best selling toys list. Othello was a surprise there. Who'd … [Read more...]
Last week I posted the hottest toys, as reported on Amazon, Sunday night. This week, about half the list is the same, but here are the new items: Crayola Color Wonder Sound Studio Chris Byrne said Thursday night that this was a great toy. Crayola did it right again. Crayola Wonder creates markers and paints that don't show the color unless used on their special paper. So if paint or marker ends up on clothing or the wall, no one will ever know. The Sound Studio makes noises as the child … [Read more...]
