A rattle is a rattle. We received lots of them for each child when they were born. They were silver or multicolored plastic, made a rattling sound and did everything a rattle should do. But what if a rattle could do more than just make a shaking noise when a baby moves it? A NogginStik is just that, it’s bumpy on the stick part, has multicolored lights and a mirror on the bottom of it. Continue reading NogginStik is the rattle that you wish you had as newborn

You’d be crazy not to like OH, NUTS! by Tammi Sauer

As a dad, some of the best books that I can read to my children are those that I can enjoy too.

Taken 2 is exactly what you want it to be

When Taken came out in 2008 it was a movie that my wife and I loved. For me it brought back memories of classic Eastwood and Bronson, but with more plot development and bigger stunts. Taken also had an artsy vibe to it that legitimized it as more than an action movie. Continue reading Taken 2 is exactly what you want it to be
