We also got a digital camera for Christmas. My first digital camera was an Olympus and it took great pictures. This camera is of the same great quality but has a few more features. This camera has a 2.5″ LCD screen on the back which is HUGE! It’s awesome for both taking and viewing pictures. … Read more
My first favorite thing is a book I found at the library. I loved it and my husband got it for me for Christmas! It’s The Complete Book of Rhymes, Songs, Poems, Fingerplays, and Chants by Jackie Silberg and Pam Schiller. The name is pretty self explanatory; It’s a book of rhymes, songs, poems, fingerplays, … Read more
I’ve been out of town visiting family for the last three weeks so I feel like my posting has been a little rushed. And I missed a few days! Sorry about that. I hope to get back to my normal weekday posting schedule although things are getting a little more crazy around my house with … Read more
This week’s book talk book is Tarzan of the Apes by Edgar Rice Burroughs. After reading this book, I would have to say that it is in my top ten favorites. This book is absolutely wonderful.

Happy New Year! Can you believe it’s 2008 already! Have you made your resolutions yet? I am a fan of goal making, not so much of “New Year’s resolutions.” Perhaps your New Year’s resolution could be to not make any more New Year’s resolutions but to set weekly or monthly goals instead!

Like I said yesterday, we went to Disneyland last week and I was surprised at how many people were there in December. I wouldn’t say December is a bad time to go, but November might be better. It was more crowded and colder than I expected. Anyway, we were there over a Thursday and Friday. … Read more
We went to Disneyland earlier this month and I have some advice for families with young children: WAIT! Disneyland really is a magical place but we had a hard time enjoying it with a baby. We were only able to go on about four rides in two days and our son hated all of them! … Read more
