If you have a young girl, chances are she’s getting a Disney doll for Xmas from me 😂✌🏻
My son will absolutely LOVE this
We already have 50,000 of these, but my friends son doesn’t, and I know he will love them.
We have a lot of this marble run track, but we don’t have one that sticks to a window and automatically takes the ball up and round. Absolute easy win for my kids.
I looked at the rules, it sounds like it will be a fun travel game now Leo is old enough to get involved in card games!

Today it became really apparent that I can’t be everything… we built a business so our kids could have a comfortable future, we wanted to have freedom to do lots of things together - yet I spend 90% off the time pushing them away while I fail to get everything done. This hand holding back and forth went on for a bit before I realised it’s the perfect metaphor - he just wants me now, while I’m busy worrying about the future.
Not sure what the solution is, but solidarity to anyone else failing the balance 😅 if you’ve worked it out, do share 😄💛
