Kids and Commercials: Avoiding the Gimmes
For a while, my kids were really into infomercials. They’d beg for a rotisserie so that we could “set it and forget it,” and they were totally mesmerized by that contraption that holds the toothpaste tube on the wall. We have a couple of “as seen on TV” items, like a cupcake pan that bakes […]
