Photowalking with the Kids

This post at over at Digital Photography School, written by guest poster Trevor Carpenter, reminded me of day trips I’ve planned out with the kids. Days I’ve planned, but haven’t quite taken, yet.
I would love to pick a location with lots of space to walk and places to explore. I’d like to hand […]

Island Baby Boutique

I keep forgetting to share with you a new site featuring adorable handmade baby gifts! From our favorite island girl comes the Island Baby Boutique. The Hawaiian Print Bibs are adorable and, though we all know how I feel about teeth, I have to admit that the personalized Tooth Fairy Pillow is too […]

Price Drop on the Xbox 360

Okay, so, from my lack of posting on the subject here, you may realize that I’m not big into video games. Until a few months ago, when a friend gave us a PS2, the last console that lived in the same house with me was an Atari 2600. I kid you not.
However, since […]

Book Review: Where Did Daddy’s Hair Go?

Bald Man wrote a bit about this book a few months back, and then my kids found it at the library. The oldest thought the cover was hilarious and had to bring it home.
Where Did Daddy’s Hair Go? by Joe O’Connor, illustrated by Henry Payne, shares a fun story of little Jeremiah and […]

Another Easy Bake Oven Recall

When I got the heads-up from Karen about an Easy Bake Oven recall, I remembered that Hsien had reported one back earlier in the year. It seems that the issues that were causing concern in February have not yet been properly addressed, and now I’ve seen them use the word amputation. Yep, definitely […]

R2KT: The Pink Droid

Okay, so, if you’ve known me for more than…say….5 minutes or so, you’ll know that I am not a lover of pink. Really. At all. However, I make exceptions for pink when it really matters. This is one of those days (yes, they are far a few between).

How green is your toybox?

While I’d love to say that I’m way ahead of the whole environmentally aware, eco-friendly attitude, the truth is that I’m really just now being more deliberate toward that lifestyle. We’ve been recyclers for years, and the lights are usually turned off when we leave a room, though not always. Recently, though, I’ve […]

Storytime at the Library: If you’re happy and you know it, The Jungle Edition

We were back to the library today for storytime and were introduced to a fun book entitled If You’re Happy And You Know It: The Jungle Edition. You can probably get the gist of the storyline, but there are “jungle specific” indicators of happiness throughout the book for parents and kids to exhibit together. […]
