FireMom Reviews Everything but You
Trains are big in our house. More specifically, Thomas the Train is HUGE in our house. So, I jumped at the chance when Parent Bloggers Network asked if we wanted to review a new Thomas DVD. Just like BigBrother jumped around the house when I opened the package to reveal the shiny trains on the [...]
I’m sure you all remember the hullabaloo about Baby Einstein making your kids dumb. I’m here to say, “Stupid is as stupid does.” (Thanks, Forrest Gump!)
