I don’t know about you, but I’m ready for warm weather.  It sure seems to be taking its sweet time this year.  Mother Nature can’t decide whether she wants it hot or cold.  Here in the Midwest, springtime is synonymous with one thing – rain! We’re not talking a little bit either.  It has rained …

We spend a lot of time with our families during the holidays. With all this together time, we keep busy by playing games.

Tweens are a special breed, amIright? Not quite a child but not quite a teen either. Right in the middle of those glorious years between 10-12 years old. With the holidays coming up, you might be sweating what to get the tweens on your list for a gift. They aren’t always easy to shop for …

Dad Gizmo is back with some fantastic ideas on what to buy your wife (or girlfriend/significant other) for the holidays. Sure, you can plan a big trip to Paris and score some major points but we are going to keep it a little more low key this year. Yep, it’s time for a Holiday Gift …

I’m so excited to celebrate Christmas with my toddler twins this year, and to see them enjoy their gifts as big 2-year-old girls. It’s tricky coming up with Christmas gifts for 2-year-olds, especially two of them. I definitely want to choose items that they’ll love, will be worth the investment, won’t annoy me too much, …
