Wordless Wednesday
Adam captured this beautiful shot of a hummingbird in our backyard. We have at least two that stop by regularly.
Review: Sesame Street Building Set by Kid K’nex
My kids love Kid K’nex and so do I. We already own several building sets including Dino Pals, Undersea Pals and Zoomin’ Buddies. Many toys come and go in popularity but after two years these ones still hold a prominent position on our toy shelf.
Kid K’nex recently teamed up with Sesame Street Workshop [...]
Children’s Book Giveaway: Read All About It!
Tyrone rules the school!
He’s king of the monkey bars, a math machine, and a science whiz.
The only thing he doesn’t like about school is reading. Books are so boring! But when strange visitors start dropping by the classroom for story hour, Tyrone discovers there’s more to books than just words on pages.
Tyrone is a popular [...]

Weekend Update, Part One (Rodent Edition)
I woke up early on Saturday morning needing to use the bathroom. As I staggered back to my bedroom (it was barely 6 a.m.) I noticed an unmistakable silhouette on the floor. Even without my glasses on I knew what it was. Uggh, we’d left the doggie door open over night and [...]
Lost Without You
