Create the Perfect Reading Nook

Peyton's Reading Nook

Reading is extremely important. But, sometimes getting a young child to read can be a challenge.

So I'm going to tell you how to create the perfect reading nook. First, find a good spot. I like to use the corner of our living room, that way I can keep an eye on Peyton and if she gets stuck on a word help her out. You want to find a ...

Give the Gift of Hope

Compassion International

Last year Peyton and I took in The Compassion Experience. I wanted to teach my child about helping others and giving hope to those less fortunate. We went through the exhibit and learned about the lives of 3 children - Rueben, Brinda and Julia.  I was moved by these children's experiences. Because of Compassion International and generous sponsors these children were lifted up from poverty, saved from violence and given a chance at a better life. Peyton was surprised to see how other children ...

Encourage Imagination with 4D Blocks

4DBlacks Magnetic Blocks

When Peyton was in preschool they had these magnetic blocks that all the kids wanted to  play with. The kids would spend house building homes and villages with these blocks.
