Our current family vehicle has seen better days. We bought it just before we were married back in 2003.

Especially in August, there were many good deals that I couldn’t turn down on food to send to school. With Back to School season under way, making lunches becomes a daily routine around here and it was going to be a huge challenge to find what I was looking for when I went into the basement.

This summer, my husband bought our kids each a Hexbug Nano. They received them while we were up at the cottage. These Hexbugs provided the children with hours of entertainment.

My husband knows me well so when he heard the excitement in my voice when I was explaining to him how much fun these toys were, he got a bright idea! … Continue reading →
