This may seem like torture to my stir crazy children (and the momma…
A few years back I was wandering through a local bookstore and came upon a display of amazing kids toys and craft products that I instantly fell in love with. At that time eeBoo was a new company to me and I was very excited to quickly learn about all the different types of products…
St. Patrick’s Day may be my favorite holiday of the year! My mother is every bit Irish and has always kept us close to our heritage. Typically we spend St. Patrick’s Day as most spend Thanksgiving; a large feast of traditional Irish food, family, love, and as a BIG bonus my Mom’s birthday! She has…
Kids learn in different ways at different times! Something that I am quickly learning as my children are growing! My oldest son is extremely conscientious and takes school very seriously! While, my second son is much more creative and playful. I used to worry about him as his academic growth was so different from his…
