My Daughter is Funny
The things that come out of my preschool age daughter's mouth often make me laugh. It is quite funny to hear the thoughts of an almost 5 year old girl.

Non-Candy Stocking Stuffer Idea for Kids
We love getting free toothbrushes. Who doesn't, right? But the ones we get from our local dentist are just not "fun" like some of the ones we see on the store shelves.
