How to Choose Toys That Last Beyond the First Week of Excitement

22/10/2026

A toy that cost more than was comfortable to spend gets opened with genuine excitement, played with intensely for a few days, and then quietly migrates to the bottom of the toy box where it joins the growing collection of things that were supposed to be brilliant and turned out to be briefly interesting.

07/07/2026

You have made the living room neat by straightening and fluffing up the cushions and admiring your handiwork when, suddenly, you find yourself looking at a juice stain covering the arm of the sofa. Buried deep in the seams of one cushion is some kind of cereal which has obviously been sitting there since Tuesday. The neatly maintained house does not necessarily come to an end with the coming of the children; it only requires a different approach. The choice is no longer whether you choose pretty furniture or durable furniture but how you…
