Around these parts, it's all boy. With a 6 year old and almost-9-year old, we don't have many things that are girly or not macho. So I get kind of excited when they like playing with what I call an "all play," a game or something that's good for boys and girls and something I can get into with them! Our latest "all play" discovery is Art … [Read more...]

I have to admit, I'm not a fan of 3D in general. When we take the kids to the movies, I go out of my way to find the non 3D movie because it hurts my eyes.
