Check out the crazy fast speech of speed talker John Moschitta, Jr. in this 80’s commercial for Micro Machines.
I actually do remember his FedEx commercial from my younger days. It’s pretty remarkable to watch the countdown timer and to realize how many scenes they fit into that 56 seconds! It’s always interesting to […]
There is a massive toy recall on Fisher Price products due to the discovery of unsafe levels of toxic lead paint. Many of the toys feature our kids’ favorite characters such as Dora the Explorer and Sesame Street characters. The following are a few articles containing more information:

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 […]
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).

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 […]
The first SLINKY I remember being in our home was a big, dual-colored (yellow and orange) plastic one that my sister had. I think that was the first plastic Slinky I’d ever seen. We found out that you could sit in the back of our vehicle and peg the person in the front […]
Can you believe it?!? July 1st marked one year since I started writing here with Hsien. That year went crazy fast!
Here are some of my favorite posts, one for each of the 12 months that I’ve been here. Actually, 13. I loved Hsien’s intro post for me. I still miss […]
Here are a few photos that Hsien took on her trip to the London Science Museum. Thanks so much for sharing these with us, Hsien!!!

One of my favorite finds this spring was the Water Wow! line of “coloring books” from Giddy Up. Including Backyardigans, Hello Kitty, Dora the Explorer and Sesame Street themed Water Wow! Doodle Books, these little books provide a clean, stain-free experience for your kids.
I didn’t actually purchase them for the car, but rather […]
There are currently a couple of recalls out concerning the popular Thomas and Friends wooden toys. One article indicates that the cause is lead paint used in the the toys, while another article points out the possibility of small pegs or other small pieces being dislodged from the toys. Either way, it’s probably […]
