This is one of my favorite posts of the year. Why? Because I'm a toy hoarder. I love anything that will sway my boys away from the TV and stimulate their mind, body and creative spirit. I love toys that serve purpose, as well as entertain; stuff that challenges their brain, makes them think, problem solve and more. This, in addition to toys that get them active, moving and having FUN. Really, that's all I want. 

So here it goes. My favorite kid finds for the 2016 holiday season. All items have been received and reviewed by my boys, courtesy of...

The Smyl Co. offers a new concept in orthodontic care that will be focused on providing the most aesthetic and virtually invisible treatment options. Centrally located off of Adams St. and Central Ave., the center will cater to Downtown Phoenix working professionals, residents, and students that want to straighten their teeth but need aesthetic alternatives to traditional braces. Digitally-crafted clear aligners, like Invisalign and SureSmile, will be utilized to provide individualized treatment in a world class, state-of-the-art environment geared for the busy individual.

As a food and beverage journalist, our thriving culinary and cocktail scene keeps me busy. A typical day includes writing deadlines, recipe development, working on my Web site WriteOnRubee.com and, of course, visiting some of the Valley’s best restaurants. I am also a full-time medical documentation editor, but since this is my ideal day, I took the day off instead of juggling both jobs.
