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 [...]
Just before moving to San Diego my brilliant husband decided that we needed a GPS for the car. At the time I didn’t understand why he would choose to spend his hard earned cash (a gift from George Bush actually) on a GPS of all things. I half-heartily agreed even though I didn’t [...]
Have you heard of Jishaku? As I was packing up the house last week a package arrived in the mail. Inside was a game called Jishaku. Jishaku proved to be the ultimate distraction for keeping my kids entertained while I tended to last minute packing details.

I love to travel. Growing up as a missionary kid and traveling outside of the United States gave me a deeper appreciation for experiencing the world around me. I’ve had amazing travel adventures as simple as exploring the Chicago suburbs by car and as awe-inspiring as hiking in the Himalayas. Even my [...]
I’ve talked about wanting the Wii Fit for so long and I’ve finally got it! My husband will tell you that I was giddy with excitement when I got my hands on one. And let me tell you that getting my hands on one was no easy feat. Adam had thought that [...]
