Bert recently received a Nintendo DS lite for his 5th birthday. At first I was really hesitant because he’s 5, and that’s an expensive toy. I tried to convince my husband that it was a bad idea. Bert got a taste of the Nintendo DS at our workout facility. It seems that all the boys [...]

Dreadful Stomach Bug
What’s worse than waking up and feeling that familiar queasy feeling? What’s worse than throwing up your empty stomach from the night before? What’s worse than throwing up the one tiny quarter piece of peanut butter toast and water you had?

About 2 years ago (at Christmas), we bought [...]

…Good Old Doctor’s Visits…
No one told Big Brother that along with a 4 year old birthday he would also have a excruciating visit to the doctor. Apparantly they give one shot for each year… Needless to say, he was not too happy by the end of the visit. We got a coupon to eat free ice cream afterward [...]

Well, Big Brother will be 4 on August 19. I am searching for low cost fun ideas. Anyone have any suggestions???
One idea I had was an outdoor BarBQue where everyone makes their own barbequed Pizza. I could make it ala Food network style. I’d also thought of Safety City (a place to ride bikes and learn [...]
