  1. What a great time to start an educational blog! Tips on knowing when to start your child in Kindergarten and pre-school would interest my friends.

  2. Love the notebooks from Scissor Savvy. My 5 year old daughter, Sky, loves dictating stories to me that she writes in her head and will sometimes write her own by stretching out the words. 2 of the notebooks caught my eye – Where Did the Baby Go and Rainy Day Play Book, because the titles alone would get some amazing stories out of her.
    Great ideas for gifts!

  3. Jodi,
    Thank you for the comment on my blog. I didn’t post it, because I don’t like message in my About section (can’t figure out how to get rid of it). I browsed through your blog and it looks like we share some same interests. Good luck with your blog. Joined yours. — Patricia
