Alice and I were so excited to get our The Learning Journey Techno Gears Marble Mania Crankster Building Kit!! We pulled everything out of the box along with very detailed instructions are several bags of parts.

123 Kids Fun Alphabet App Review
For those of you who are new here I babysit my 4 year old Granddaughter Alice full-time. Right now Alice is a sponge and has been for her entire four years!

The Tiny Traveler Series For Kids Review

Alice can write her alphabet; she can read so many site words I’ve lost count. There are several books that she can read front to back. Yes, they are easy books and I’m sure that she has them memorized. But, I’m still beaming with pride. I was approached by Misti Kenison to review her new series of children’s board books; The Tiny Traveler series. I jumped at the chance! Seriously, what better way to teach kids how to read…

I forgot how long the bedtime routine was!! First a bath. A really, really, R-E-A-L-L-Y long bath. Let me tell you, the kid can play in the tub until she is one very big prune. She begged for more hot water so many times we had to let water out before we could add more!! I poured in her weights worth of lavender bath bubbles and turned the lights down low…
