The great thing about having a seven year old son is that he is old enough to enjoy dining and shopping now. Woot! We’ve had a great time this past week going out to eat and checking out some shops downtown that we don’t get to stop in very often. On Thursday evening we went [...]
I have to warn you that I am one of those readers who reads several books at once. My dad is the same way, so I guess I can blame that little reading quirk on him. I usually have a small stack on my nightstand and several loaded on my Kindle on my phone. I [...]
I had a reader to ask me what became of that bump on my eyeball, so I thought I would give you all an update. So, here is a little side by side comparison of what it looked like before and what it looks like now. It’s been three months, and while the bump [...]
Every spring my son enjoys “VIP” status at the county fair that rolls into town. His Paw-Paw just happens to work with other members of the American Legion at the admission gates that week to raise money for their programs that support veterans. Therefore, on the last day of the fair (Saturday), E.B. enjoys VIP [...]

I had pretty much hit the jackpot because I wasn’t left to scramble for Easter books. So I gathered my sweet little Kindergarten class around me [...]
This big coffee table is the heart and soul of our living room. Everything happens at this table when we are in this room. It holds our laptops, books, drinks, snacks, and my son has claimed it for Lego building on almost a daily basis. We’ve had this table for almost 10 years and it’s [...]
Trying new things and coming up with creative solutions is the heart of this children’s book entitled Peepsqueak! by Leslie Ann Clark. I have to say, I fell in love with Peepsqueak at first sight. Isn’t he just the cutest little chick? The story focuses on Peepsqueak’s deep desire to learn to fly high. [...]
Wouldn’t the world be a wonderful place if we could plant a kiss, watch it grow, and share it with the whole world? That’s exactly what Little Miss does in Amy Krouse Rosenthal’s new children’s picture book Plant a Kiss. With simple words and whimsical pictures by Peter H. Reynolds, this story succinctly tells the [...]
