If you are looking for a fun and creative gift for a birthday party I suggest the Back Spin double sided puzzle. This is unlike any puzzle we have every tried before. It reminds me of a cross between a rubix cube and a puzzle. And it's double sided! So how does this work? Well, on both sides of the puzzle there are colored pods, in each pod 3 balls fit but the trick is to get all 3 balls in the color of the pod! The only pod that should have 2 balls is the purple the rest should all have three. ...
The Princess Twins and the Birthday Party
Peyton is just learning to read so I am always on the lookout for a good book to help her become excited about reading on her own. The Princess Twins and the Birthday Party is a level 1 reading which is perfect for those children just learning to read on thier own. I would say the reading level of this book is end of kindergarten or first part of first grade. Some kids maybe more advanced and able to easily read this book before then but from what I've seen in my daughter's classroom I would say ...
It’s a Peppa Pig Extravaganza!
Living in the United States makes it hard to find much with Peppa Pig and her family on it. Though I will say over the past year I have started to see more of it. Peyton has been in love with Peppa, George and all her friends for years. We've watched every single episode more than once and I can even recite a few them from memory.

Under the Sea Holy Bible
Peyton is going to be 6 next month and I feel it's time we start bringing more talk about the Bible into our home. We tried the whole church ordeal last year and it was a debacle. The church and the teachers were not a good fit. So we've taken the last year off from attending church and I have spent it trying to get Peyton comfortable with the idea of going back, this time to a different church. But lately Peyton has been asking lots of questions about God. Even though her Sunday school ...
Real Life Mean Girls
Some days I look around and feel like I'm living in a real life version of Mean Girls. I thought that cliques and passive aggressive behavior was reserved for high schoolers. But evidently I was wrong. Very, very wrong. This past month has been extremely stressful and the true colors of people have come out more than I ever thought possible. In the first part of the month my personal life was hit with a huge blow. The school district we live in decided they were going to close 3 out of our 9 ...
