Welcome to episode 135 and today we're talking about buying great toys for our kids.

We're going to get out of the mainstream list of the popular toys and think about finding things that

really last and foster creativity.

You are listening to the Simple Families Podcast,

a Q&A-Stiles show that brings you solutions for living well with family.

Here's your host, Deney Barajona.

Hi there, it's Deney.

Thanks so much for tuning in.

This is episode 135.

Today I'm chatting with Lizzie Aisa from the Workplace for Children.

I first encountered Lizzie on Instagram where I fell in love with the pictures that she posts of her children playing with toys that you might not recognize.

Lizzie's family opts out of the mainstream popular toys and chooses toys that will foster creativity

and will last for years and years across ages, genders, developmental stages, and a variety of interests.

Before we jump into today's episode, here's a quick word from our sponsor.

The sponsor for today's episode is's a quick word from our sponsor. The sponsor for today's

episode is Warby Parker. I've been wearing sunglasses and eyeglasses for

Morby Parker for several years. I like buying glasses from Warby Parker because the value is great. The quality is good, the style is amazing, and they hold up for many years.

Also for every pair that you buy, Warby Parker gives a pair to someone in need. They have stores everywhere but if you're not near one you can use their free home tryon program and I did that recently for a pair of slum glasses and it was really neat. You get five pairs of glasses and you get to try them for five days, no obligation to buy, free shipping and everything.

And if you have an iPhone X on their new app, you can do a virtual try on.

So I encourage you to try it out.

Go to Warby Parker.com forward slash simple

and you can order your free home try on today.
