Yes, you read that right. Netflix for LEGO. I swear, we must have at least 10,000 Lego in our house. Wait, maybe 20,000. The desire for new sets never ends, but of course, the old sets are still around. Enter Pleygo, where you can rent Lego sets and then return them for new ones. Would you consider it?

If your child had the chance to give you any, ahem, additional facial features, what would she choose? I'm guessing you might end up with some kind of old-timey mustache, maybe a nose piercing, or perhaps some villainous eyebrows.

It's that time again — when parents wish their kids would just go outside and play already! When I was a kid, building forts was a major part of my outdoor life.

Checkers is an underrated game. Am I right? It's relatively easy to learn, can be played with varying levels of strategy, and if you make this carpet version, it's quiet as all get out.

Perhaps I'm jumping the gun with these toys that remind me of the good old summertime, but we've already had some warm days, the ice cream truck's infectious jingle has been wafting through the air and I put sunscreen on my kids this past weekend. I can't help it - I'm in the mood.
