Have you seen these nifty sweatshirts? They look like a regular patterned sweatshirt then when you cross your arms in front of you, a big mouth and face appears on a variety of animals and characters. They are really cool looking and should be seen in action. These are made of recycled [Read more…]

Take a step back with me to the time of your growing up and even your parents growing up. There are a few toys which you would see in all three generations. Blocks to build houses with, to be more specific Lincoln Logs. These wooded logs with notches cut in them have been used for generations to build the farm houses and barns of yesteryear. These are the exact same logs, right down to the smell of the logs in the box. There are of course a few changes most notable is the roof. This set included a plastic premade roof. I remember having green and brown slates which would lay down next to each other to make a roof. These pieces were always the dogs’ favorite so maybe it was time to retire this classic piece. Little Man loves to play with the figures while daddy makes a house, or farm, or something along those lines, then Little Man is the bad guy and smashes it all up. Unless it is something cool. Like the ‘great wolf lodge’ we built with Lincoln Logs.

A big cabin that fit the man and his horse at the same time!

Right now we have a dog that is slowly sneaking her way into our home. She was adopted and brought home by two loving pet owners, only to realize the people with whom we adopted the pooch FROM were telling a few fibs. Like she didn’t dig, was well house trained, listened to commands, etc etc. All of these things were said to get us to ‘take’ their dog. We are definitely aggravated with the pooch, but she is a cute dog who loves to sleep on the picnic table in the yard- which amuses my husband and infuriates me. It is quite hysterical to look out the kitchen window and see a big dog snoozing on a picnic table, admittedly. I’m guessing the ground is just too low to see all the wildlife in the yard, and she feels she must be up higher in order to get it all in. I am not sure what motivates her, but whatever it is is makes for a funny scene.

This new dog is a pain but she will always come when called, well,inside only-when [Read more…]
