Passy Addiction
Houston we have a problem. Brayden is addicted. It is getting worse. He has started hiding spares around the house. Mom and Dad are not looking forward to the sleep deprivation that will come our way when we attempt a

Imagination
The possibilities are boundless… Our two-year old, Blake, loves to use his imagination. One day he is a doctor using a blanket as a stethoscope asking me to be his nurse as we give daddy (aka the patient) a shot. Or he is creating a ‘zoo’ out of spines of books and placing small stuffed animals in there with ‘food’ to eat. Â

Burnt by “Ready”
Add my name to the list of those, yes you are out there, that have been burnt by the word “Ready” in advertisements. A few weeks ago I finally got around to picking out a 10 year work anniversary gift from a collection of assorted things. They use to give out a Rolex. Ahh, those were the days.
With the plethora of children’s toys currently available, it is amazing what kind of joy a good old empty box will bring to a child’s face. I’m sure other parents have spent plenty of money on a toy only to have their son or daughter more interested in the box than the toy.
The hardest part about camping is…
