So I spent all last weekend building a treehouse platform with my 7yo and 9yo in our oak tree. Got it up, they loved it, everything was great. Then Tuesday night we get a windstorm
Quick rant: why do my kids need 47 different markers when they always use the same 5? And why do the good ones always dry out? And why is there glitter in places glitter has NO BUS
My 5yo is really into scooters right now but her cheap Walmart one is falling apart after like 3 months. I've heard Razor is the way to go for durability? Has anyone used the Razor
