For my younger daughter’s 8th birthday, she decided to have a Webkinz themed party as a Girl Scout meeting. We had a 2.5 hour block scheduled and a lot of party to put in that time period, so we planned it all out on poster board much like the Webkinz “Daily Events” schedule.
When each [...]

Sounds ominous, doesn’t it?
Earlier this year I stashed away the three Webkinz Lil’ Frogs (Regular Frog, Bull Frog, and Tree Frog) for myself. I decided to go ahead and adopt them today as I’d finally come up with names for them and I’d finally prepared a room for them in [...]

My younger daughter made a Webkinz Balloon Room. We just finished it last week. You can’t have a pet walk though it, but isn’t it lovely? Her Love Frog, Sweetheart, is in the picture.

My daughter, in preparation of bridging from Junior Girl Scouts to Cadette Girl Scouts decided to plan our ceremony last month (she doesn’t actually bridge until May). She, with my husband’s and my help, [...]

Wow! My Mom sent me a few packs of the new Webkinz Trading Cards Series 2. I opened the packs and found that I was a very lucky recipient of a free mystery pet. The exciting (and scary) part is that I had to name the pet without knowing what the pet [...]

My favorite Webkinz pet has always been the cow. The cow is a super animal and makes a wonderful stuffed pet. S/he’s soft and plush and has the most awesome bean bag feet. Shortly before Christmas I decided to get my own Webkinz account, so it wasn’t too surprising that I received [...]

I love Webkinz. I really and truly do. I think it is the best virtual world available today. It appeals to children and adults alike and it is fun (although it is only being marketing to children). My kids and I have gotten a lot out of playing on the Webkinz [...]
