Many of you are experiencing winter weather (21+ inches of snow back home!) so I thought I would remind you of a great resource for your younger kids. Starfall.com has many excellent stories for children ages 2-8. Turkey just turned 3 and has been using the computer to “do the gingerbread man” story since last summer. He also loves the turkey, snowman and pumpkin stories. Here is the snowman that he decorated this afternoon. These stories teach shapes, colors, body {Read More}

We chose the location of our house because it was convenient to every place that we go with regularity. I also love {Read More}

This cuts down on cleaning, cooking, and meal planning- saving us lots of {Read More}
