I keep telling them the best part of having a sibling is that they have a built-in best friend. So they've started telling each other after they fight "but you're my best friend!" So clearly my message is, BRAINWASHING WORKS.

These boys, especially Bud, love their great grandmother. They call her "grandma great"and always ask to go visit her. I think it's because they recognize her unconditional love. Also- she gives them candy and let's them watch "her stories".

Dear World- meet @dsutton55 She is the kind of friend who calls and says "hey- I think you're getting in your head too much for your long runs. I'll distract you for the first 10 miles." And then gets up on her Saturday before the sun and beasts out 13.5 of my 19 miles and keeps encouraging me the entire time. Friends like that are worth their weight in gold. to women who cheer each other to the finish line instead of pushing each other out of the way. @dsutton55 that was the best run I've had and it was because of you my friend.

LeapFrog Reviews

Yall- I hit the jackpot with my latest LeapFrog review. The kids are in love with the new toys and LeapTV games.

I will say, if you are struggling with your kid and the desire to learn letters, the Letter Factory game on the LeapTV and Word Whammer has been really helpful to us. The nice thing about the LeapTV is each game is interactive and engages Bud for awhile!

The Word Whammer is nice because it is portable so I throw it in my purse and use it when we are at restaurants and MAMA JUST WANTS TO ENJOY A PEACEFUL MEAL or when we are waiting in the doctors office for an hour. I don’t feel nearly as guilty giving him that to play with than if he were to just zone out in front of my iPad.

The boys love to play with the oven. They “cook” while I cook and just sit at my feet and try to mimic everything on this toy oven. It’s adorable.

And the tool kit has been awesome with their imaginative play which they are VERY into these days.

I love LeapFrog for a lot of reasons but my biggest compliment to this company is that every toy and every game have an educational purpose. I think that’s so important and it has made me a big fan of everything they put out. I couldn’t recommend their products enough to be honest! 

*Disclaimer: LeapFrog supplied these products but all raving reviews are my own!
