Few things are as captivating as your independent neighborhood toy store. I’m a real fan of any neighborhood, or mom & pop store.

Kudos to you all! I would love to hear… [Continue Reading]

Tommy, my 6-year-old, has his own laptop, which was provided to him from the virtual charter school he’s enrolled in. My little geniuses have even figured out how to get on YouTube all by themselves,… [Continue Reading]
