Reading has always been a passion of mine, one that began in childhood and grew with me. As a little girl, I found solace, knowledge, and companionship in books. They provided answers, peace, and endless adventures. Reflecting on my own journey, I wish I had a book journal for kids to track and cherish those […]
As my kid is turning the big five, I can’t believe how crazy and incredible this past year has been! I’ve been reminiscing about all the cool stuff he’s totally been into as a four-year-old, and as I did last year: why not put together a list of his absolute favorites? I bet it could

About 3 Christmases ago, we got Google Home for our living room. Apart from our phones, we didn’t have ways to reproduce music in our home, and we thought it would be an excellent addition to our family. We soon realized that it was great to have Google Home for kids because there are so
December is the beginning of that wonderfully magical time of year: Christmas. It’s the only month when it just feels right to read any of these Christmas books for kids. Because let’s face it.

I’ve always enjoyed going to the movies. My husband and I would go with our friends on Friday nights to see the latest releases before we were ever married. We loved it.
