While looking for swing sets online, I went to Toys R Us and noticed a new toy exclusive to their them. It’s called Natural Toys.
There are six toys that are made of natural wood. The toys are decorated with a wood burning technique, so there is no paint. Just all natural wood. In a day [...]
Summer is right around the corner, so I have been looking at the different outdoor toys that I might could buy for Rae. I picked her up a toy golf club set. While she is a long way from enjoying a round of 18 holes at Branson golf course, she seemed to enjoy playing with [...]
So, today I went shopping for my 5-year-old niece’s birthday present. Since I’m sure that she has every toy ever created thanks to grandparents who believe she hung the moon, it makes it really hard to buy something with a ‘wow’ factor.

This week, the Parent Bloggers Network asked us what we can do as well as any man. For me, I feel somewhat confident doing some routine maintenance on my car like changing the oil. My first car was a 1966 Mustang, which was a great car. But being that it was older, I always had [...]
Here is the most exciting(well to me) post I’ve read all week. It’s from the Trent at the Simple Dollar on how to make your own laundry detergent. I was so moved that I went out and bought all the needed ingredients.
Here is one reason why I love to read comments. I really don’t [...]
Earth Day is coming up this month, and I happen to notice that Wal-Mart is selling shopping bags. I’m so sick of plastic bags. We do use them for other things but we just have too many. I really need to bundle them up and drop them off in the recycle bin at the store.
