If you’re looking for an engaging, beautifully-illustrated book to read with your preschooler, look no further than Wimmelbooks. The vivid and detailed pictures of this German series hold stories just waiting to be discovered by little ones. I received My Big Wimmelbook: Firetrucks from Timberdoodle in exchange for this review. We love it so much,…
Every October we do a Harry Potter homeschooling week for my Harry Potter crazed kiddos. I’m super fortunate to be participating in a Wizarding swap group right now: potions, charms, and other fun all DIY and delivered through the mail. I am so excited about this slapjack game; I’m posting it free here for you…

Quite the exciting weekend! Before we left I…
We’re officially back to school this week! I promise more blog posts are coming! Today we’re looking at the very colorful, super-quality, wooden Palette of Pegs from Haba. They are stunning.
