For this LAST POST I thought I might write, you know, a RETROSPECTIVE. It's been a while, after all, I have 200% more children than I did when I started, and maybe I have learned a thing or two. Read Full Post

HALP, INTERNET! Here are the parameters:
1. Must be fun for preschoolers, elementary schoolers, their tired parents, and grandparents with limited appreciation for rambunctiousness.
2. Must not veer into the Frillions of Dollars range.

How many of you, when you stub your toe and let out a scandalously satisfying swear word in front of your kid, think to yourselves, "Eh! He won't remember that anyway!" Don't lie - I KNOW it's not just me.Read Full Post
