What Every Baby’s Bookshelf Needs

Whether for the literacy value or just the bonding time, we all know it’s important to read to our babies and toddlers, and I wrote “10 Books […] Read more…

Wednesday Words

So, I’ve never hopped on board the Wordless Wednesday train, as “wordless” just doesn’t work for me. Instead, I’ve decided to give it a twist. I plan to bring you, on select Wednesdays, some valuable tidbits of the English language (or at least translations) that mean something to me, and hopefully will get you thinking as […] Read more…
