The Kids who have EVERYTHING.

As I was trolling through the toy aisles last night looking for replacement gifts cos my niece and nephew already had the things I had initially gotten, I felt such an inner sense that buying them even more STUFF was in some way just plain WRONG! And that I was just plain contributing to landfill...Definitely, kids these days...it's ridiculous...and if you can relate, I urge you to clean out those oversized toyrooms and start culling the masses of unused items and donate them to kids who don't even have one toy, let alone five types of the one type stacked and arranged in purpose built rumpuses by colour...

This is exactly why my ideal vision if it ever includes my own kids, is to raise them somewhere far removed from all of this excess materialism and consumerism where playing and happiness are free and fosters real creativity and resourcefulness.
