Who doesn’t love a good Target End cap clearance sale? It’s probably the only store where I shop the perimeter. They had some really good deals on toy clearance at the beginning of August when they were trying to make room for their Back to School displays. This is a game that I got for […]
Photo Safari: A fun game for describing and answering questions
Does anyone else tend to buy toys or games for their kids that they know they can repurpose in Speech Therapy? I’m always buying my son therapy toys. (He’d prefer Transformers and gigantic guns-I try to give him lacing cards and bead stringers.) Photo Safari is a game I bought to take with us on […]
5 Out of Print Games that I LOVE.

I made one which is available in my Roll-a-Direction game on Teachers […]
Creative Fail
I’ve been walking around with 2 bags of tiny plastic Walmart babies in my purse for the last three weeks. The only time they come out of my purse is when I’m scrounging around trying to find my credit card at the grocery store. (I have 2 wallets in my purse-yet my credit card is […]
