I am therefore thrilled that BigBoy is needs to read. If you’re a normal audience of Not really Another Jen you then find out about my interest for books Just. THEREFORE I am on the moon and again that he’s capable (with just a little help) of reading aloud. It is important to me to choose…
In order to tame the overgrowth of Hot Wheels, train Bakuguans and tracks, we’re shifting BabyD right into a bigger area. From the nursery and right into a big boy’s area filled with a gadget box and reserve shelf. Will this imply that it’s period for us to stop the most popular night time table…

We come inside to get warm. Friends and family come to visit. We have big meals. For some strange reason this magical season makes me think…
You know that I love seasonal books. I just can’t help myself. So of course between trips to the library and our kindergarten Scholastic order I have found several gems of child books for Thanksgiving. Let’s focus on a sweet apparent choice, Countdown to Thanksgiving, by Jodi Huelin and illustrated by Keiko Motoyama. We…
