Vintage Remedies for Kids Review

December 19, 2011

I’m just going to start this review by telling you that I am totally prejudiced. I am, and not because I got my copy of Vintage Remedies for Kids for free so I could review it. I get lots of free stuff to review. You know what I don’t get a lot of? Sweet thank [...]

I’m Just Sayin’

December 14, 2011

Strong Willed

December 8, 2011

Ooka Island Review

November 7, 2011

Is there anything better than a teaching tool that kids think is a game? I’m thinking no. How do you think I got hooked on westward expansion? Oregon Trail baby. Our sixth grade social studies teacher would let us play it if we finished our work quickly, I was a total addict. But I digress, [...]
