Written by a kid

We haven't had cable for a while now and I must say after getting over the whole idea of not having junk tv at my fingertips at any given time its sort of refreshing now. Not only am I choosing more interesting and creative television to explore I've discovered the genius of You Tube episodes. Short, sweet and too the point. One of my favorite channels is Geek & Sundry, totally geeky, somehow fascinating. Who knew I would ever enjoy watching someone play a board game let alone find myself buying said game and totally getting into it at home. And that's when I came across Written by a Kid. Exactly what it sounds like, stories told by kids and brought to life by adults. Its amazing what kids will come up with, my favorite so far is La Munkya, a story about a feisty horse made of paper told by a 6 year old. I've always loved to hear children tell stories and these shorts really bring their quirky stories to life.

A quick break for fun

Is there a rule you have to have a kid in the house to have a stuffed animal that hasn't been dismembered by a bored dog and squeaks? Because this little gal from Splendid Willow Avenue is simply adorbs. Tucked away in her own matchbox bed with cotton bedding, its the perfect little accessory for any tabletop. Ok, my tabletop.
