Lemme be clear — I don’t think it’s my job to entertain my kids all summer long. I plan to have some days where we all pile in the car while I pretend I can’t hear the whining, and we all go hiking. I plan to have some days at the pool. I plan to […]

I can see how certain cultures have over 40 names for different kinds of snow. There really are a lot. But in between snows, the flowers are peeking […]
Great Books for Budding Readers
