Book Recommendations: March 2014

We are a book-loving family.   We read many books each month, but choose our favorites to share with you. We’re always looking for more books to add to our library bag (which literally burst at the seams as we left the library one day).  I’d love to hear your recommendations!

Hidden Hearts

I have somewhat of an obsession with hidden hearts.  It began when I was a child and my room was decorated with millions of tiny multi-colored hearts.  And I mean millions.  Tiny hearts in a multitude of colors on the wallpaper, larger hearts all over my bedding.  It was an 80s heart-fest, I tell you. As an adult, I have […]

I needed something easy, something that I wouldn’t have to think about or which could potentially add more frusration to my […]

Olympics Study

We have been rather obsessed with the Olympics around here lately. I wholeheartedly admit to adding fuel to that fire.  I have always adored the Olypmic Games and it’s been so fun to pass that love onto my children.  We let them stay up past bedtime for an extra hour (most nights) to watch a little bit of the coverage.
