Marty and I don’t often share the same taste in books but we do both enjoy a good political suspense book. As soon as I received Infamy (A Butch Karp-Marlene Ciampi Thriller), I knew that Marty was going to want to read it when I was done. This is my first book by Robert Tanenbaum but Marty […]
One of our favorite books to review are Parragon’s sticker books. I loved stickers ever since I was little. My favorites were the ‘scratch and sniff’ stickers. My mom would find stickers stuck every where around the house. Luckily, she was a good sport about it! . 2000 Stickers Animals 36 Wild and Wacky Activities! […]
Spot A Lot Animals comes with a double-sided jigsaw inside a cute little box which has Velcro to hold it shut. The jigsaw features a full color picture on one side and the same picture but in reverse on the other side that your child can color on. Zach loved being able to color in […]

I love a good thriller and I spent a good part of the weekend on the couch reading A Chilling Absence by Shelly Maynard. It was really too hot to do much else, and I’m really glad I let myself just relax and read. Sometimes, we all need to have a little bit of down […]

Once we got our ducks and chickens, I could see that they were eager to start learning more about farms and farm animals.
