K'nex Phoenix Fury Coaster Set A few days before Christmas we received the K'nex Phoenix Fury Coaster set for review. With me being a theme park and rollercoaster enthusiast, as soon as it showed up on the front porch I had to put it together immediately. I did not go with the design featured on the box but instead went with another suggestion that was in the instruction booklet. The supplemental design is called the Condor's … [Read more...]

Ohio Flame Fire Pit Review | The Patriot 24” Fire Pit

Because Emma has never owned an American Girl doll, I decided that it would be best to start with one of the Bitty Babies. Although Emma is 6, I wanted to start … [Read more...]
Non-Toxic With a Small Footprint : Lullaby Paints
Lullaby Paints We are in the process of rearranging bedrooms, building a fourth bedroom in the basement, and turning the existing basement into a family/media room.
