Traveling With Young Kids | Homemade Activity Book Idea During one of our family road trips, my oldest daughter and I tossed around ideas to keep Emma (5 1/2 at the time) and Ethan (4 at the time) entertained for nearly 5 hours in the car (each way). Kaytlin thought up a fun way to keep the kids entertained while still containing the mess so we didn’t have to dig for crayons or stickers between the seats and it went over so well I thought I'd … [Read more...]

The Carol Burnett Show | The Lost Episodes on DVD
The Carol Burnett Show | The Lost Episodes on DVD Sample received. All opinions are my own. I'm a true fan of vintage television shows.

Join the Avengers with Playmation
Sample received. All opinions are my own. My son watched his first Avengers movie the other day and has been chattering non-stop about it ever since.
