Kids’ Picks & Miscellany

June 15, 2010 by Amy 7 Comments

Hold onto your hats, folks–this is going to be a jumbled up, miscellaneous, here-and-there post. 🙂  (What, you say?  What’s unusual about that?  I hear you.)

June 10, 2010 by Amy 8 Comments

Read Aloud Thursday

May 13, 2010 by Amy 5 Comments

Yes, folks, I’m still here.  I’m in the end-of-pregnancy slump that hits me pretty hard at this point in the game, so my motivation has been zilch.  Nesting?  What’s that?  I’ve honestly NEVER felt the urge to clean the floors in my house with a toothbrush, no matter what state of gestating I’ve been in.  … [Read more…]
