I’ve been reading a lot of blog posts lately about CPSIA. I admit I had no idea what it was and mostly just moved past those posts and on to something else. But the other day I paused long enough to read one, and now it has me concerned. CPSIA stands for “Consumer Products [...]

The kids got some wonderful gifts from our families this year and one particular gift that Abby received was a Dora the Explorer ride-on thingy from my parents. I thought for sure it would take forever for her to figure out how it worked. She had it figured out the next day. [...]
