But then my Mom sent me two old Kindles they weren't using and I decided to go ahead and give one to Nate since it was free. My only wish is that I had … [Read more...]
One of our ALL TIME favorite children's books is Mo Willems' Don't Let the Pigeon Drive The Bus!(Amazon, $14.91) I can't tell you guys how many times I've read this aloud to my kids.

When my second son was born, a friend gave us an I See Me! Personalized Children's Book. It was the My Very Own Name Book and as soon as he got old enough to appreciate it, he was asking us to read it to him regularly. Each page introduces a letter of his name and matches it with an animal - eventually spelling out his entire name (middle name … [Read more...]
