I love Clue. Growing up, I do think that this was my favorite board game, probably because we didn’t have it. I imagine for other people, who actually owned it, the great suspense and intrigue of the it probably wore off after the first dozen games or so. For me, though, […]
Here in the Midwest, we’re preparing to say good-bye to the last rays of summer. We hit back into the 90s this week, but that may be the last of that for a while. Still, we took advantage of it and got out the sprinkler and the blow-up pool, donned the swimsuits and […]
If your house is like ours, there are more toys around than the kids know what to do with. That’s a bit embarrassing. Anyway, we don’t buy toys often, but friends and grandparents have made sure that our kids are very well supplied, and I’m too “nice” to refuse the excess (most of […]
One of Bald Man’s least favorite commercials depicts some type of fast retail environment (there are variations on the scene) where customers are quickly making their way through the checkout lane by making their purchases via a credit/debit card swipe. Everything is moving so smoothly until, oh my gosh how dare he, […]
It’s almost Halloween time again, already! For the first time, I’m starting to hear of communities hosting a Trunk-or-Treat. Have you heard of them?
Apparently, it’s an alternative to the traditional Trick-or-Treating, providing the same fun of getting together and gorging on sweets, but without the potential dangers of walking along dark streets to […]
I have to say, I’m so very excited to have a child who loves to read! Okay, so the other two may have that also, but being that they’re only 2 and 3, I’m not sure, yet, whether they’re going to share with me that insatiable desire to have a book in hand at […]
heehee. Did you get it? Corny, sorry. :P
For about the past month, my middle child has been asking daily for the countdown until his birthday (we’re still well in the 30s, I believe). Recently, when his dad asked him what he might want for his birthday, one of his answers […]
I honestly can’t remember the last time that I rode a bike, but with the kids getting older and starting to ride their own, I’m really looking forward to getting one myself and riding off into the sunset with the kids.
Though the oldest might be able to keep up with Bald Man and me enough […]
So, I mentioned awhile back that, as a family, we’re trying to think and act a bit more eco-friendly in our home. We’ve made some big strides in composting and recycling, and a bit better in just buying less stuff (never a bad thing, I think!). The kids love helping to figure out […]
With the recent recalls of many of our favorite toys still causing a stir, I’m beginning to wonder how effective these recalls will actually prove to be. Obviously, I’m not the only one. An article by E. Marla Felcher points to a major issue, I believe:
The reason so many toys were recalled […]
