Editor’s Note: This review of “Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken” was written during the 2023 WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. Real Mom of SFV would like to acknowledge that without the labor of the writers and actors who are currently on strike, animated films such as this would not be possible.

The clogs from greenReActives come in a variety of colors and materials (suede, knit, berber, faux fur-lined and faux felt).

Toniebox

I grew up loving “books on tape.” Remember those? I’d stick a storytime cassette tape into my own My First Sony Boombox. A cheery narrator would read an accompanied story as I “read” along. My husband and I still have some of the books and it made me want to share that experience with our daughter, Mabel. Now, thanks to Toniebox, I sort of can. When Jen offered for Mabel and me to review a Toniebox, I admit I wasn’t entirely sure what it was. … [Read more...]
