Whatchamacallit 2017
Our 2017 Whatchamacallit looks remarkably like Whatchamacallit did at the end of 2016. The end of 2016, we made a few small changes from the beginning of 2016, including the name. A year ago we called our Morning Time ‘Circle Time.’ As I began working with moms who call it a variety of things, I…
