Ghost Falls Trail
The weather is warming up here and we have been anxious to start hiking. This is something we enjoy doing. My girls like discovering new things and as parents we like getting our kids active. At the beginning of the summer we take a few smaller hikes and then extend the distance as the summer progresses. Ghost Falls Trail has two trail heads. We took the longer trail which is about 3 miles round trip. It took us 2 hours round trip to complete this hike. My 3 year old walked all but 10 minutes! ...
The Very Fairy Princess Follows Her Heart
When I was pregnant with our daughter, I had a friend give me the book The Very Fairy Princess Follows Her Heart. Right away I was caught up in the illustrations by Christine Davenier. When I got home that night I had to read this book. It is a longer story which would be great for the older ages. My daughter, who is now 1, will not sit through the entire reading of this book. Along with the length, the language is a little harder to understand for the younger ages. Gerry, "The ...

Father’s Day Gum Wrapper
I have already told you my girls LOVE planning for holiday's. The day after Mother's Day they started planning an easy craft for Father's Day! One thing they all decided is that Dad likes gum. He always has a pack in his car, on his dresser and in his church bag. My three year old now shares the love of gum (much to my dismay) and knows where to search to get a piece when she wants one. Dad doesn't like this so he tries to remember to hide his gum.
In honor of our Dad who loves gum I have ...
Llama Llama and the Bully Goat
We have all heard a lot about bullying and the effects it has on children and adults. I wanted to find a book that would reinforce what bullying is, and what role we play in bullying. That's when I found the book Llama Llama and the Bully Goat. I loved the illustrations in this book along with the great lesson it gives. It is about a llama and his day at school with a bully who is a goat. It talks about what to do when someone is bullying you or a friend, and how the teacher ...

I grew up reading many of the Berenstain Bears books. I fell in love with them as a kid and wanted to share these with my children as well.
