Summer Camp at home
Maybe, like Kendra, you’d like the scoop on summer entertainment. “What on earth are we going to do while the kids are out of school?” Or, maybe, like us, you’re putting the bucks it would cost for camp towards Dave’s debt reduction plan.

My storytellin’ overalls
Celebrating the habit of reminiscing…originally posted at Sonflower. I have a favorite pair of denim overalls given to me by my mom one Christmas, oh at least 10 years ago.

Part two of What About the Little Ones? My friend, Kellie, posed this question: I love, love, love this idea! I do have a question. Do you have a volume of CDs that you create? Say a few CDs with different content that you recorded? Answer: Yes, we do. (So read on those of you that are […]
