As a mom of three who loves reading and who sells children’s books, there are a lot of books that come my way on a daily basis for review or comments. Some are not in relation to my blog or my children, and some, quite frankly just don’t fit the bill. I take book reviews seriously when it comes to dishing out money for a book for your children’s education or for your 2-3 minutes of time alone in between taking care of your family and the day to day mama chores.

Here’s a quick little craft to do with kids to get them excited for Easter Sunday. At my little one’s preschool they had a parade today and it was adorable! And while Easter bonnets are perfect for little girls, I wanted something less flowery for my son. Here’s what we came up with.

I am thrilled to have the opportunity to write about something so important: money! Surprised? It’s not necessarily something people like to talk about, but it is very important to discuss it with your children. I’m sure some of you are thinking, ‘well, not when they are so young’. And to that response I have to disagree.

When I was in college studying English Literature, I started volunteering for a local center called Literacy Unlimited. After a thorough training, I was certified to help adults in their journey to learn how to read.

I had intended to only write Valentine posts leading up to the 14th. But, I couldn’t let this tremendous moment in music history pass without mentioning it. When I was in grade school, my religion teacher brought in a song for us to hear from a new and upcoming artist.…

Have you got seasonal children’s books you take out during the year?

I’ve found some beautiful books that I like being able to re-read to my children for each allotted holiday.

Valentine’s Day is no exception. To date, these are the Valentine’s books I have for my children that we refer to each year.

Do you remember the first movie you saw with the love of your life?

I do. (No pun intended.)

Last year I celebrated my one year bloggiversary. And during that year, I managed to grow my blog in such a way I didn’t even know possible at the beginning of the year. I’m really enjoying writing when I get the time (I have three little ones under five, you do that math). But one of the best, BEST things that I experienced through blogging this past year has got to be all the wonderful posts I have read. Some have been sad, some happy, and some downright hilarious! I have enjoyed what each one of them has brought to me. So I thought, to begin this new year, I could share with you some my favourites from 2011.

I wanted to write about a long running favorite shopping place in the MOE family. Jouets Choo-Choo is a local toy shop that has been around since 1996, and is now an online shop as well. I love shopping there for my children as well as other little ones for many reasons. First and foremost, the quality of toys that Jouets Choo-Choo carries is exceptional.
