As parents, we are in charge of teaching our little ones. There is so much for children to learn about and discover.

Katy Hudson brought each sentence to life through her bright watercolor illustrations. She brings the pages to life so we can follow along as the children go ...
Dolphin Sandwich Bento Box
There used to be a time when I couldn't convince Peyton to eat peanut butter to save my life. Then sometime this spring she decided she loved peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. So this summer she has been begging me to make them for her nearly every day.

We still had some blueberries and blackberries in the fridge so that ...

I love this twist on a classic story tale! Cinderstella encourages little girls to think about more than princes, fancy dresses and jewels. While Cinderstella's two stepsisters are so busy bossing her around and obsessing over meeting the prince, Cinderstella is obsessed with the stars.Cinderstella's stepsister are demanding new tasks out of her everyday. One day it's to make fancy dresses for them, the next it's to do their hair and then polish their jewels. But while her stepsisters are ...
