Having a kid who spends all of his playground time in the sandbox is somewhat of a mixed blessing. On the downside, there's the full-body shakedown that needs to happen before they go back indoors. But on the upside, you can read your book at the playground! $5 Continue reading

I'll never know why LeapFrog discontinued these fridge magnet sets because every time we get one in the store, we get calls from all over asking for it. The one we just put out is similar but not identical to this style below. $15 Continue reading
