Skylanders SWAP Force Game – A Review
My brother and I use to spend hours playing on the Atari console and play PONG. Do you remember how that was the hottest game around in the early 80’s? We would spend the whole afternoon playing this simple game but had a blast. Especially when the game would go on for a bit and the pong would go faster and faster until it went so fast you couldn’t keep up your match. That is when it got really exciting! In case you don’t remember what PONG looked like – here is what the screen looked like (primitive isn’t it?). It was a hit with the kids and actually quite fun! …

Dwell :: Decorating a Small Space for the Holidays
In my last post I mentioned that this year we won’t be getting a tree because it will not last more than a few minutes with our 85 pound 8 month old German Shepherd mix puppy!

I love this time of year and it makes me so happy to have the fireplace on, the candles and tree lit. Here are some ideas if you…
