hrparent — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 17:10:21 +0000

Every once in a blue moon we come across kids handmade toys that we fall in love with and we know you will too. Mirasa’s My Fun line for infants and toddlers is filled with fun and colorful Elephants, Lions, Hippos, Monkey, Giraffes and more.

The soft toys and pillows are created by Aashumi Shah, a textile designer, who pulls from her Indian heritage when choosing the striking colors for her handmade animals. They’re made from 100% cotton fabrics and eco-friendly Azo free dyes. These little animals are perfect for first toys and also ideal as baby gifts. Who wouldn’t want one of these soft little Elephants or Hippos?

Aashumi has a passion for giving back and a portion of the proceeds from all My Fun purchases will go to Room to Read, a non-profit that partners with local communities through out the developing world to provide quality educational opportunities by establishing libraries, creating local language children’s literature, constructing schools, and providing education to girls. Your purchase will contribute to Room to Read’s girls’ education program and the reading room program in India.

Soft Animals start at $30, pillows from $50 up.

A Bouncing Good Time at Kangaroo Jacs

hrparent — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 23:05:37 +0000

Kangaroo Jac’s is a local Indoor Party and Play Place in Chesapeake, VA located near Greenbrier Mall. I have take my three boys there many times to bounce around, burn off some energy and get out of the house. We have also been to several birthday parties there, as well as, had my older sons birthday parties there when they turned 4 and 6.

Kangaroo Jac’s is for kids 10 and under. The facility houses about 8 indoor inflatables, including 2 for toddlers. The interior is bright and cheery and there are lots of spots for parents to sit down at a table or a few sofas. I usually bring a book or some work with me to keep me occupied while my boys play.

My kids always have a great time bouncing on the inflatables and sometimes we meet our friends there to bounce with them.

The floors and bathrooms are very clean and I appreciate that the snack bar offers some healthy snack and drink options for my family.

When we have been to Kangaroo Jacs Indoor Inflatables Party and Play Place we had a great time. The kids bounced and then afterwards had pizza, drinks and cake. We have even attended End of the Year Sports Team Gatherings as well which besides all of the party fun our teams did their trophies and pictures at KJ’s.

I would highly recommend Kangaroo Jac’s for fun time out for your kids or to have a party there.

The cost runs about $7.00-8.00 for unlimited bounce time. Often they have coupons for a discount and Wed evenings Kangaroo Jac’s stays open until 8 and evening admission from 5-8 is a discounted rate.
