Disclosure: This post brought to you by The Pencil Grip. My kids love to paint! There is just something about the way paint looks on paper that attracts them. We try to paint at least twice a month, because clean up is such a pain. Spills, stains, messy brushes- ugh no fun. We don't do it as often as they would like because of this. After searching for months and months for a product that my kids would love to use as much as paint, but wouldn't leave me with a disaster zone to clean up, I found Kwik Stix. With Kwik Stix, there is no need for water, messy caps OR brushes. Simply uncap, twist and … [Read more...]

We have no heat, electric, HOA, cable, water, landline phone, security system, … [Read more...]
