Children’s Book Review: Sleep, Big Bear, Sleep by Maureen Wright

This week, Rapunzel brought home a new book from the school library called Sleep, Big Bear Sleep by Maureen Wright.  I have to say this is probably the best book she's brought home from school. What's even better is that, right now,  the kindergarten class is discussing what animals do in the winter.  In this book, the wind tries and tries and tries to tell Big Bear to go to sleep for the winter, but Big bear just doesn't get it. This book was not only well written, but it was a fun, imaginative story with fantastic illustrations by Will Hillenbrand…

Blogs You Must Follow

So...I was actually going to post about Black History Month, which begins today.  But as I was doing some research, I realized that what I really wanted to do was going to be a bit more involved than what I had planned on.  So I had to come up with something else. Waaay back when I was in high school, I had a blog on Digital Expressions, where I was one of the top bloggers.  Of course, back then, I was just writing to write, I had more time, and I'm pretty sure "blogging" wasn't even a term yet.

7 Things You Need to Know About Staying in a Hotel

I had every intention of pre-posting for this weekend, but nothing worked out the way I planned.  One thing I did discover this weekend is that neither Wendy nor Cinderella has ever stayed in a hotel before!  What an interesting experience.  They were so excited. Needless to say, I needed to give them the scoop.  And what better subject to post on since I had to brainstorm anyway.  No sense in wasting precious brain power!  So here are the rules I laid out for them: 1) Never leave the room without your room key! 2) Do not order room service. 3) Don't…

Princess Anna’s Top Picks for Show and Tell

If you have a preschooler like I do, you're probably familiar with show & tell.  Your kid brings something in.  She shows it to the class.  She tells the class about it. I often wonder how Tinkerbell describes her show & tell item.  At home, it's more like this: "It's my doll and I like to play with her." Well, today was show & tell day.  And pajama day.  Which we love.  But that's a story for another day. I'm starting forget already what we've already taken for show & tell.  But we still have half of a year left,…
