We’ve been slowly making over every area of our home to help reduce clutter, organize and just update the looks of the room.

Josh was into sports for the longest time so the décor was balls... lots of balls. Although Ethan has always liked balls, he … [Read more...]

Beyond Bedding Frankie’s Fire Truck 4pc Twin Bedding Set Review Ethan turned 4 this July and has already lived in two rooms during his short life. His nursery was downstairs and it was only partially decorated as we didn’t really use the room much. When we had the “great room swap” (everyone got a new room except Emma), Ethan took Josh’s old room upstairs. Up until recently he was more than happy with the sports theme Josh left behind, but … [Read more...]

Out of the box the InnoTab 2 has a nice solid feel. The rubberized edges are there to help absorb shock for when the kids drop it (I say when because they will and Ethan already has). The camera flips/rotates to the front or back making it fun for self portraits, taking pictures … [Read more...]
