The Vacation from…..???

August 2, 2011 by Sara

The vacation is over. I can say without hesitation....it was heavenly. I can also say...I'm shocked. I'd be lying if I said that two weeks with the boy was slightly terrifying to me. We had two days of unpleasantness. I was short, ill-tempered and bitchy. The … [Read more...]

July 31, 2011 by Alice

For slyly funny picture books for bigger kids, Mini Grey is a great pick. She's not as raucously silly as kid fave Jon Scieszka, not as little-kid oriented as Mo Willems or David Shannon, but she's one that adults can enjoy just as much as kids do, which makes her a perfect pick for reading together … [Read more...]
