You can’t beat them if your kids have progressive, punk type style. Our daughter is in love with Becky Bones. And Journeys Kidz carries skate shoes by Osiris, that use Becky’s characters and themes.
They also carry the more whimsical converse chuck taylor’s, hi and lo tops, Van’s, and other assorted shoes.
Our son loves the marvel shoes.
We adore Shoes!
Here’s some cute ones I think you should check out at journey’s today! And don’t forget the socks! My little fairy snails love new socks!

Happy Looking, and guilt free shopping. We’ve always been treated wonderful by them, had fast shipping, wonderful store service. They have a great assortment of belts, shoelaces, belt buckles, and wallets for kids as well.

Maybe I’m the last in the know on this. But it was a pretty shocking news bit to me today, especially considering it’s from 2005!
I’ve always been a believer in the less is more aspect of TV. I’ve heard the studies linking it to violence and ADHD, risk taking behavior even some say, promiscuity. This is the first time I’ve heard a specific age where it seems to make the most difference. Our son is about to turn 4, and he’s just started to play some video games, his sister was raised on the Vsmile and Leapfrog devices, and Santa brought a playstation 2 for her this year. He gets very stressed and even brought to tears with the thought of “the green guy getting him” on Batman Lego, to something with a top hat around the corner in a spongebob game.
I’m pulling the plug and coming up with a unique way to limit all TV time, video games included. Have you tried anything that changed things in your household?

I found this last week while looking for yet another, hopefully newer model of the chore chart. Over the years I have printed every free one offered via google, I have made them in every way imaginable, and was yet again on the hunt for a little boy who is almost 4 years old.
Handipoingts Chore Charts is great for say 7 to 12 year olds. My daughter loves it.The only drawback is to open up the full capability of play you have to become a member, so our daughter lost interest quickly when she could not use her points to play the game.
You can set your own point scale, you can have savings goals, even for charity!
I like that both dad and I can check in, and grade the chores, and we love that the system has demerits as well. (We are currently working on, playing calmly together.)
My thoughts are, it’s a great concept, think Club Penguin, only with points from chores giving you the ability to play!However in the current economic downturn, I would be more apt to print out another pattern of free chore charts, and hit the old dollar general for stickers and call it a day.
But the kids love Handipoints Chore Charts so what’s a Mom to do?
Now that our son will be 4, I’m hoping I can tackle the time I need to make fairysnails everything I have planned it to be.
