The power of reading...

A friend of mine sent me a link to this article that was published in the New York Times. It truly explains the power of reading, and how reading with your children can build lasting memories.

Spring is near!!

We can finally spend some time outside!! We have already been to the zoo, the park, and taken a few walks. Can you tell G and I have a major case of cabin fever?!?

I am very excited to check out a new book by my favorite author/illustrator- Jan Brett.


The Easter Egg is a story about a bunny named Hoppi (naturally!) and his quest to create the best Easter Egg. If he can win he will be lucky enough to help the Easter Bunny deliver all the eggs.This proves harder than he thought and Hoppi becomes discouraged as he compares his ideas to others. Just then he begins to learn a lesson about believing in yourself.
 As usual her illustrations are beautiful, with details that will wow you. (And I just want to squeeze that adorable bunny!)
Go check out The Easter Egg, and while you're at it pick up another of Jan Brett's books!!
