A Toy that Still Isn’t Clutter After a Decade

One Toy that STILL Isn't Clutter after Ten Years

I’m not working for Fisher-Price. I was just reminded again how much I love this toy while I cleaned out our playroom last weekend.

We’ve had it since my oldest was barely able to scribble.  He turned 11 in December.

The flower-shaped magnets are long gone, but I feel no angst when I run across this toy in the midst of one of my many decluttering projects. 

It’s not broken, and it still gets used.  At random times, one of my three kids will spend a morning or an afternoon drawing or writing on it.  There’s something so satisfying about erasing with the little slide-y thing across the bottom.

And not wasting paper when you’re  drawing simply for the pleasure of drawing.

And a pen that never gets lost or runs out of ink.

After all the toys that have come and gone through this home in the past decade, I’d say this one is pretty remarkable.

What toys have your kids played with through various stages of childhood?

 

Oh.  Even though I’m not working for Fisher-Price, I did use my Amazon affiliate link. Ummm, why would I not use it??

When Convenience Becomes Inconvenient

129shares 127 0 2 I have the world’s greatest garbage disposal.  And he’s cute too. My husband is the most awesome leftover eater ever.  That man will eat food days past the point when I would never touch it. You may be grossed out and you may worry about his health. It’s OK.  I understand. […]

Great (but Scary) Tool for Scraping Cooked-On Gunk

March 4, 2013 By Dana White 30 Comments

258shares 183 0 75 Is gunk a real word? Well, I guess it is. Since Firefox didn’t put a red squiggly line under it. This tool scares me. Honestly, I never would have used it if I didn’t take that trip to the Maytag headquarters last fall. The Queen of all Kitchen Knowledge told us […]

The Sixteen Year Old Me Would Be Horrified . . .

Changing to a Real Food Diet?

5shares 4 0 1I’m sorry. This bundle is no longer available.   I’ve told myself I’m not going to stress about posting this week since I’m kind of in a stop-everything-and-get-those-taxes-done-or-else position right now.  (Blogging is fun, doing taxes is not.)
