Growing Up Organized

I am NOT organized by nature, and my husband (who IS organized by nature) has been reminding me lately that I am modeling bad habits for kids. If I don’t teach them good habits now, they aren’t going to learn it later in life. Professional Organizer Lea Schneider takes a similar approach in her book…

Soccer for Moms

I am a soccer mom. For over ten years now I’ve been the washer of the uniforms, the maker of the Gatorades and the loyal cheerleader/taxi driver shuffling players to practice, home from practice, to games, home from games. The matches I’ve watched from the sidelines probably number in the thousands. Such immersion in the…

Peter Pauper Calendars & Journals

I’m a calendar gal. I have a Palm Pilot that mostly functions as a dust collector on my desk. I never quite got the hang of the stylus, so making entries takes too long. I like to see things in writing. So when Jennifer asked our team who would be interested in reviewing a calendar…

A while back Lauren reviewed The Scrambled States of America by Laurie Keller (and she liked it so much she included it on our list of 5 Star Reads). When MacMillan Audio offered me a preview of their new book and audiobook set, I knew that my map-loving son and I would have to take…

3-D Explorer

Oceans: A Journey from the Surface to the Seafloor is one of two new 3-D Explorer titles from Silver Dolphin Books. It’s hard to find the right words to explain how cool these particular pop-up books are so I’ve included a rather large picture detailing the cool factor of each page of these books. Check…

Inscribe-It Books

I love giving books as gifts — my children’s friends’ birthday parties, baby gifts, my friends’ birthdays, Christmas — any occasion is acceptable. One of the unique features that I love about Inscribe-It is that your inscription is printed on the first page. It’s the exact same book you’d buy in the store, but with…
