Despite having buckets overflowing of the shiny metal cars, the boys never seem to get enough of the little racers.

Dreaming of a Green Christmas? Choose eco-friendly toys with Eko Bear!
When I was in highschool, I banned wrapping paper from our house for the holidays. Yeah, mom and dad were probably a little shocked but they were good sports and went along with it. So, instead of wasting all that fancy wrapping paper that costs a fortune, is completely unnecessary and at the time was a big fat raspberry to the environment (recycling wasn't happening back then like it is now, it all went into the garbage bag), our tree had presents wrapped in the comics and sports sections of … [Read more...]

I have kind of a love/hate with kids movies sometimes, I've been a fan of animated films my whole life, but since having kids I'm a bit more critical you could say.
