Okay, so, I’m making my way through the sites that Jennifer mentioned in the comments here, and I started with PsychoBaby and it made me laugh. Okay, the site itself didn’t make me laugh (though some of the products were cracking me up). But I started laughing because it reminded me of a backpack that I was shown the other day. A friend had bought this adorable little pink backpack for her daughter, completely girly with roses all over it.

Grandma bought a pair for my oldest son because they were orange and he loves orange. He associates everything orange with Tigger (he’s constantly bouncing), so she thought he’d get a kick out of these. I wasn’t sure, because he is always the first …read more

I love VeggieTales. And, I have to admit, I was not introduced to them after my children were born. No, I’ve known Bob the Tomato and Larry the Cucumber longer than I’ve known my own children.
Big Idea Productions started releasing these videos of computer animated vegetables when my husband and I were in college. We were hooked on them, and started collecting them then. The creators utilize inspiration from the Bible (Dave and the Giant Pickle/Rack, Shack and Benny), classic TV (God Wants Me to Forgive Them? parodies Gilligan’s Island) and literature (Madame Blueberry as …read more
