Children's Book: The Moonlight Tooth Fairy

I’m sure you have the same tradition as most parents of placing your child’s tooth under their pillow and the “tooth fairy” leaves a treasure in return. We leave money-more for the first couple of teeth. My youngest is eleven and STILL has baby teeth. Of course, she doesn’t believe in the tooth fairy, but […]

The Rootlets: Trouble at Plantasy Land by Vicki Marquez

Is one of your children a picky eater? I was always very lucky when my kids were younger. Neither of them was particularly picky. Sure, there were a few vegetables they didn’t like, but for the most part, they ate what was on their plates. I understand the struggle though because I had friends whose […]

Christmas Book: The Book of Kringle

It’s hard to believe it, but Christmas will be here soon. One of my favorite parts of Christmas (besides the music) is reading Christmas books beside the woodstove with a cup of hot chocolate. I have so many memories of doing this when the kids were tiny. If you enjoy Christmas books too, you’ll want […]
