They say, give kids the simplest of toys to leave them to a vast field of ingenuity. It has become a challenge for us parents in these times when most toys have become so complex and detailed leaving no more room for imagination. This is Mikee’s MERMAID. I think my daughter’s doin’ just fine.

“Our inventions are wont to be pretty toys, which distract our attention from serious things. They are but improved means to an unimproved end.”

I’ve always love how my mom’s legs look younger than most moms her age. They’re slim and firm. But now that she’s older, I noticed the back of her knees have some varicose veins. Though my mom’s isn’t painful, I shared that if she wants, we can order compression socks at ShanMedical.com, and I’d order a pair or two for myself too. I guess I have to add that to my online shopping list for next month.
