Get the Kids Involved in Holiday Gift Giving

The other day my 6-year-old daughter informed me of her plans to raid her father’s coin container, so she could make my Dyson dreams come true for Christmas.

Build Your Own Book

Then carefully wrote down the name of her book: Cassidy loves Mrs. Kathey. Once she … Continue reading →
