For record, I presume that all children at some point in time will be introduced to Star Wars. Since I was a kid the Star Wars universe has grown a bit. It’s much more than movies, now it’s toys, books (comics!), an eventual theme park and of course the movies. We’re glad that Disney purchased them because it will give the brand a fresh start-and Disney does things on a first class scale. Continue reading When should your kids meet Star Wars?

Don’t judge a beef jerky eating, Harley rider by his cover
I’ve always wanted a pipe wrench. The name sounds tough, combining two rugged words that make one super jagged word that actually serves a purpose and is made of steel? That is bordering on testosterone overload. I have a pair of Channel Lock pliers. They do roughly the same thing as a pipe wrench. But if a pipe wrench is Chuck Norris, a pair of Channel Lock pliers is John Stamos. Continue reading Don’t judge a beef jerky eating, Harley rider by his cover
#1 and #3 of 18 Summers: Curiosity and finding our legs
In May I went to Disney Social Media Moms. It’s a social media conference at Walt Disney World that helps bloggers think, be creative, have fun and meet other family bloggers.

Tips for planning a three-year old toddler birthday party
Congratulations! Your toddler is about to turn 3 years old and it’s time to have a birthday party where you invite their friends, in addition to family members. There was some discussion about the third birthday. Do we invite his pre-K friends from school to this birthday or when they turn 4? We decided to do it when ours turned 3 and it turns out that the other parents had the same questions. Here’s a cheat sheet of what we learned.

Tips for successful consignment shopping
Fall is one of the biggest times of the year for consignment sales. They’ll pop up at local churches, empty big box stores or other places and can save families of young children lots of money.

NextStep IP Baby Monitor: Review and Giveaway
At one of our baby showers a couple of years ago we were given a baby monitor. It consisted of a base unit that may or may not transmit the sound coming from your baby’s room. I used the phrase, may or may not, because it never worked for us. After a while we unplugged it and left in the corner of a room where it still lays today. It’s like the Island of Lost Toys for baby products that don’t work. Continue reading NextStep IP Baby Monitor: Review and Giveaway
