moon dough barn 1

Ever since the box arrived on our door step, my 3 year old daughter, Kaydence, has been bugging me to open up the Moon Dough Barn.

vtech vreader electronic book titles

In 9 out of 10 instances I would consider myself a traditional mother. I make my kids eat their veggies before they get dessert, brush their teeth after every meal and always tuck them in bed with a story before they drift off to sleep. What isn't so traditional is that I've traded in the paperback books for something new ... the VTech V.Reader. What is a V.Reader you say? It's a unique children’s … [Read more...]
