People have always said that boy is an old soul, that he is wise beyond his years. But I honestly didn’t see it until we got him his very own rocking chair. Maybe it’s the classic 2-slat design or the heirloom quality wood, but when he’s rocking in that chair, knitting with those tiny knitting […]

Do you remember watching Space:1999? Or Star Trek? Or Doctor Who? Or The Prisoner? In every one of those shows, there was someone with a cool office, and a cool chair, and a cool desk. And every kid who saw them thought WOW! I WANT A DESK THAT LOOKS LIKE THE ONE ON insert show […]

Mackenzie looked across the room at her little brother Gavin and saw … the future. “Hey, Sis!” Gavin called. “I finished cleaning your room!” “Thanks, Gavin!” Mackenzie shouted from the couch. “You always were the most organized!” “That’s thanks to the 48 piece Delta Storage Sets I grew up with.

Kent was different from all the others. So easy to talk to. So down-to-Earth. In a city of boastful loudmouths who expect a girl to fall at their feet just because they throw a dollar around, he seemed like the kind of guy who cared about the real things. To someone like me, one of […]

A heaping bowl of pesto for you, a heaping bowl of pesto for me, and dinner is served. Go ahead, dig in! I just made it fresh in my Cuisinart 9-Cup Food Processor. Yes, honey, I know that generally you put pesto ON stuff – that you don’t usually just throw the ingredients into your […]
