The final weekend of Christmas preparation is upon us. There’s just a few short days before reindeer are supposed to fly through the sky and all your presents are supposed to be wrapped and under the Christmas tree. If you still have to head out to the mall, here’s who you’re bound to run into. More
I feel like saying to manufacturers, “Hey, it’s great that you care so much that a toddler can’t get into the gift, but you do know that even us ADULTS can’t open them either!” More
