Considering I have a piles of graphic novels, walls full of eclectic art, and a plethora of “toys” it was no surprise that my girls would start to become interested in all things awesome too. My 3 year old has dubbed Batman (Batman Beyond) as “cute” and she has an innate knowledge of superheros that extend far beyond our Netflix queue. So it was with minimal arm twisting that I convinced my husband (who owns [...]
Know what happens when 2 geeks meet and fall in love and produce 2 geeklings? Eventually you expose them to their first Con, which for us will be Awesome Con DC. Considering that my 3 year old begs to watch Futurama and has dubbed Batman Beyond as “cute”, I’m thinking this is going to be an epic event for Crayon Casa. Awesome Con DC Is Almost Here WASHINGTON, D.C., April [...]
- You’ve had a conversation why pants must be worn in public. This conversation is usually preceded by a plea to put on underwear. – A solo trip to Target feels like a spa day – You know entirely too many animated character’s backstories and why is it that Dora is wearing a shirt that is like 2 sizes too small? – You find yourself getting into excellent shape since the [...]
Generally, I expect problems with some of the licensed Disney stuff, but not Parks products and items brought from Disney Store or Disney Store online. This Merida doll though is frustrating me since all our other Disney dolls are great and have stayed in amazing shape despite being played with (though some of clothes do need touch ups now and then…naked Rapunzel I’m talking to you). Check out the video [...]
One of the things I’ve been looking forward to as a mom of two daughters is getting to play with some of my old toys again. They’ve already laid claim to all my stuffed animals but my American Girls dolls and Muffy Vanderbear and Floppy Vanderhare are still safely tucked away. When I was growing up, I was a Molly girl (mine is circa 1988), I took such good care [...]
Dear neighbors, I know we’re new and we’re trying to get used to this whole town house thing and as such there has been a learning curve in living so close to other people. My girls LOVE the bay window and as I’m sure as you have noticed….have not figured out that dancing naked on the window seat is not shall we say…proper. The same goes for the 2nd story [...]

My 3 year old has decided that not only she will only wear her Rapunzel dress and homemade Rapunzel hair, she is also only answering to “Rapunzel”. Since she also keeps going on and on about how “her mother won’t let her leave the castle and all she wants to do is see the floating lights since it is her birthday”, I’m thinking we’re not hitting the store today lest [...]
Sorry for the excessive time between posts, but our family relocated from Florida to Virginia in the span between post holidays and now. Moving with 2 toddlers cross country (is that far enough to be considered cross country) was uh…interesting. I had a week of attempting to pack up the house while the hubby was working in VA (thank goodness I had the best babysitter ever in FL) and then [...]
Dear Publix, Please get your act together regarding shopping carts. You see, my local Publix only seems to have 2 of those damn carts that look like a freaking race car and seat 2 kids. That is it, 2. Inevitably, parents who only have one kid, think “hey this cart is much more fun, screw the one seater cart”. Which leaves parents who have multiple little kids, pretty much screwed. [...]
