What children’s books do you love or do your children love?  We love anything by Mo Willems.  This list has quite a few good ones.  I agree with the books by Doreen Cronin and Pete the Cat.  What can I say?  If you haven’t read Pete the Cat….you haven’t lived.

 

 

This article reminded me that there is a time and place for everything.  And maybe it is ok that every last piece of lego isn’t picked up every night.  But I still don’t like stepping on them in the dark.

Love it.

 

And finally, I’ll leave you with another video.  I posted it on facebook but it deserves a spot on my blog.  Why?  Because it is pure awesomeness.  And in the words of the immortal Kung Fu Panda–There is no charge for awesome.
