Wilson Roger Federer 21″ Junior Tennis Racquet (Pre-strung) BUY: Amazon Price: $24.99 I grew up playing tennis, mostly because my dad is a tennis fanatic. We decided to hand our 2 year old a tennis racquet while we were playing, and he thought it was awesome. So we bought him a… read more »
Fisher-Price Bubble Mower on Amazon > BUY: Amazon Price: $15.99 There it was – a shining beacon in the middle of the aisle as soon as I walked into Toys R Us. I didn’t even know such a thing existed. But they do: a mower that spouts out bubbles when pushed. Our… read more »
Sidewalk chalk. It’s Thomas’s new passion, and this avant garde artist uses the world as his canvas. That’s not a metaphor. Front doors, cars, window boxes, pool decks, in-ground light fixtures, park benches, our dog Breaker, the walls in our house (ahem. someone wasn’t being vigilant), our neighbor’s sidewalk, and anything that can make contact… read more »

We got this Imaginarium City Central Train Set for Thomas for Christmas. I was so excited, and envisioned Thomas playing with it happily for minutes at a time. And he does… but then he started disassembling it. There was a brief moment of panic when I couldn’t find the instructions AND discovered the company did… read more »

Usually I have very few choices as the mom of a boy when it comes to clothes – retailers love to make girl clothes much more than boy clothes. It’s a great thing for the wallet – I’m rarely tempted! Until I went to Boden today and saw their spring collection. And they are having… read more »
Add this to the list of Things I Never Thought I’d do as a Mom: let my toddler use my iPhone. But he loves it and he sits still… which allows me to sit still too. So I’ve loaded up on some apps to keep him entertained. These are my 3 favorite apps, and I… read more »
