The Best Toys

It is so interesting to find that children really are not that interested in toys. Yes, they are made specifically for children and most of them have beautiful, bright, eye-catching colors, however in doing a little asking around, it seems that they would rather play with plain cardboard boxes or make...

The Kids and the Car

I just got a new car in 2007 and I am loving it. It has all the features that I wanted and it’s great for taking my kids to school. I was hoping that the only "wear and tear" that would ever happen to it would be my children. Well, the other day, I took a day off work to go out of town. My... Read More...
