Back to the Basics
Once upon a time in a living room far, far away, a mom cuddled up with her little ones for hours of reading aloud great literary treasures…. And that once upon a time is now! Reading is one of my most favorite pastimes. I love nothing more than to cuddle up with a good book. I am so blessed to share that with my children.

Another book finished…
It was book that we couldn’t wait to finish and we were sad to see it end. Can it get any better than an old man, a boy and his dog? This is one to treasure. I had certain family members sneaking the book to read ahead. And that was not limited to the children. The kiddos are already calling out for their turn to read it on their own.
