January 10, 2018/by The Mighty ThorUnpopular opinion: TV & computer games CAN enrich your children
Almost all of Indie's interests have been generated initially from a movie or computer game, but they have all managed to tap into other areas of expression and interest for him. They've resonated with him in a way nothing else has, and enriched so many other aspects of creativity.
July 23, 2017/by The Mighty ThorCreate a children’s dinosaur garden!
A long time ago, with the help of our then-puppy, Bree scooped out a ‘dino pit’ directly at the base of the back steps.
