I loved playing Yahtzee as a kid and young adult, but it has been years since I have even really thought of the game.
Well, my family recently had a game night with a good friends of ours and we broke out a new game called Power Yahtzee. We had so much fun with this game […]

Kids Do Enjoy the Simple Things

I know you’ve heard it over and over again that kids seem to play with the boxes the toys come in and not the toys themselves. That’s so true in my house. My kids have made some pretty creative things and have had some of the most fun together inside a huge cardboard box. The […]

I too would love for my kiddos to start music lessons. It’s just so hard to squeeze it in with acting classes, gymnastics meets, school and church events and the list goes on and […]

Original Birthday Parties

Birthday parties seem to be changing, at least where I live and I love it! Sure, we still get invited to parties at the bowling alley, or Chuck E. Cheese and places like those, but lately my friends have been mixing things up a bit.

Do You Still Shop at Build-a-Bear?

My husband and I took the kids to the mall today. My daughter got her ear’s pierced 6 weeks ago today and really needed some new earrings. Being forced to wear the same ones for 6 weeks was just absolute torture.
We walked around the mall and went into all the kids’ stores. The older […]

Coloring for the Perfectionist Child

All three of my kids are perfectionist. (I don’t know where they get it from.) When it comes to art though, my boys are the most particular.

Webkinz, Webkinz and More Webkinz

I know Webkinz is old news and Kerri and Hsien did several posts about the whole craze and what a craze it was!
We joined the craze late and are just now experiencing what Webkinz is all about. I actually tried getting my kids interested in it when it first came out, but my two older […]
