My reading has changed over the past 3 to 4 years. I’ve mostly always been a big reader, but being mommy to 3 little ones has cut down my pace considerably … when I have a real chance to read, I generally want a nap 🙂 Anyway, my reading has moved from pretty much strictly…
Trying something new. You’ll see a little flutter in the bottom left corner as Nate cheers his sister on, then comes into the frame. Enjoy!

Our current read-aloud is Stuart Little after finishing all but Now We Are Six of the Milne books (we’ll go back and pick it up later).

The link has the whole article and the reasons, below I’m listing their choices. I enjoy Classical music but know little about it and would love to…
