It’s an easy way to remember and although it may be overkill, we know that our alarms always have [...]

There’s nothing like wanting a toy to work and not having it work.  You can rationalize with an adult, but you can’t rationalize with a 2 and 3 year old.  Not. Going. To. Happen. We have ONE toy in particular that Ben and Henry are ga-ga over – the Dancing Mickey Mouse.  This Mickey Mouse gets more activity than any [...]

I’m not kidding… batteries, truly… seem. to. run. my. life.
