It’s spring and I’m getting antsy about starting our garden! We’ve been growing our veggies and herbs in the raised beds that Super G built two years ago and I’m excited to see what does well this year (if I can keep the chickens and the cat out of the beds!). So when I was [...]
I always end up spending close to half an hour or longer in the card aisle, trying to pick out the perfect Mother’s Day card for my Mom, dodging shopping carts and other people’s arms as they reach around me looking for their perfect cards, too. I’m not sure why I feel like the card [...]

Curious Critters, the first children’s book by photographer David FitzSimmons, is [...]
As someone who has struggled with self esteem issues for her entire life, It is important to me that my children have confidence in themselves. It’s often hard to know how to help them express their feelings in a positive way when it’s also a part of life that I’ve always had trouble with. I [...]
On our quest to fill our summer days with fun reading material, I was happy to find a historical non fiction book for my tween daughter to review. It’s always a treat to be able to find a book that presents our nation’s history in a way that appeals to young readers. Addie Slaughter: The [...]
Do you remember The Crocodile Hunter Diaries TV show? Oh how we used to love that show, not only for it’s exciting moments but also because of wildlife conservationist Steve Irwin’s obvious passion for the endangered animals he loved so much.

My daughter is at the age where she likes to write down her thoughts, make up stories, and invent “secret bff clubs” with her friends. Sometimes I look at her and have the feeling that I just don’t know her as well as I used to. She’s growing up so quickly! there are so many [...]
While our family does not own, or even live on, a farm, it is something that Super G. and I often dream about. Living in the country there are farms all around us. We do try to grow a small garden each year to enjoy a bit of fresh veggies during the summer. Keeping backyard [...]

They are a timeless gift that the recipient can go back to again and again! National Geographic has some of the nicest books for children and I’d love to share with you [...]
Cows! Who doesn’t love them, round, large, with soft gentle eyes. Did you know they have a whole secret life though? I had no idea until I was recently asked to review Sandra Boynton’s – Amazing Cows! Her latest book is full of “udder absurdity for children” and “all ages up to a hundred and [...]
