Do you ever feel that you are constantly outfoxed, outmatched, outwitted, and outplayed by your kids? The rolling of the eyes. The “Uh, Mom I already knew that.” Or the “everyone has known that for months.” Yep, I’m not exactly cutting edge on Kid, Tween, or Teen goings on…at least not 100% of the time. I have my “things” that I keep track of…school news, friends, and anything to do with their safety, but there are tons of things I am not in the know about. Until last fall…
…when I got a peek at THE top toys for 2012. Oh yes, I did! I was finally in the know about something. And what I happen to “know” about is of GREAT interest to my kids! Score! Win!
