Sweet Suite at home has arrived! One day before we headed to camp, the box arrived. Amidst the packing for our trip, I was unpacking the biggest box of toys that I've seen! I felt like a kid at Christmas. It was that awesome. I carefully unpacked each toy, wrote down the name of the toy, took a photo, and kept unpacking,  and unpacking, and unpacking. The box was bottomless, like the box kept being filled from underneath the floor like a magic trick! Here's a sneak peak at some of the coolest toys coming for holiday season: There are many more amazing toys in the box! When we get back from camping, I'll share more about the toys so you can start your holiday shopping!  follow hashtags, #sweetsuite14 and #BBNYC to see more awesome toys!  Disclosure: I received the toys shown here and more in exchange for sharing about the brands.
