Blog Profiles: Kid Toy Blogs
Welcome to Blog Profiles! Each week, PR Newswire selects an industry or subject and a handful of sites that do a good job promoting, contributing, and blogging about it. Do you have a blog that deserves recognition? Tell PR Newswire audience relations manager Christine Cube why on PR Newswire for Bloggers.
There are five important days in the year that kids look forward to: the last day of school, their birthday, a holiday they get a gift, Halloween, and the day the big toy catalog comes in the mail. I have no idea how they knew we had kids, but the day after we brought our bundle of joy home, it arrived. That great big wish list book of toys, gadgets, and stuff that will make a kid happy for that moment.
While the ads and commercials are informative, nothing beats first-hand knowledge and the following blogs have done their research.
SAHM Reviews was founded by Nicole and has grown her blog to include five other bloggers, including her husband Scott. Since starting her blog, Nicole has worked with major corporations to increase their presence on social media and was featured in the book Power Moms by Maria Bailey,
What I enjoy most about SAHM Reviews is that besides covering everything from tech to food, they also have an extensive toy and game review section of new games like Colt Express, which uses a train to get players around the board. SAHM also has a fun Thrift Treasure series which shares games they’ve found at thrift stores like Uno Stacko, it’s Jenga with an Uno twist.
