Like me, Vanessa really likes magazines. I got her a subscription to National Geographic Little Kids about a year ago and she has been completely enthralled by it, so I just renewed her subscription.

I decided to kick it up a notch this year by creating a craft to go along with our day. Much like Christmas, my grandmother would adorn our mantle with all the grandkid’s stockings, yes, all 12 of them. We never did do a craft, not even at school. This craftRead More ...
