Ready For Summer Guide: Mother/Daughter Edition

1st Birthday Gift Ideas
Our youngest turned one in late August. As a fourth child, the day passed without much pomp or fanfare. We didn’t have a party, but he was smothered in kisses, held in our arms, and spent part of the afternoon out in the backyard (his favorite place). Since we have had four toddlers, I thought […]

Christmas Gift Guide 2017: Math/Science Gifts (for kids!)
Although I’m naturally drawn to words, I am raising some very mechanical and math-minded kids. My 11-year-old has long held that one of her favorite subjects is math. My 8-year-old is crazy (check-out-fifteen-research-books-at-a-time-and-take-copious-notes-crazy) about science. My 5-year-old wants to be a doctor and is wishing for a dog this Christmas. All that to say, all […]
