I suppose if I had to make a list of 10 things I most hoped to pass on to my child, the love and enjoyment of reading would be on it. Don’t ask me about the rest of that list because it would take me some time to decide on my answer – and I’m…
A while back I posted about how Miss A was on track to earn enough money to buy the 2011 American Girl of the Year: Kanani. Well, the girl did it. She dried enough dishes, shoveled enough snow (did I mention this is the MidWest? We got some of that white stuff TODAY for peanut…
