We have one more special summer item to share and it’s about one of my favorite places on Earth — the second Disney Planes movie is coming out this summer!
It’s time for our Kid’s Virtual Bookclub again — and December’s featured author will be the AMAZING Jan Brett!

We wanted to make something different for Halloween this year. We’ve done bats and ghosts and pumpkins — lots of pumpkins!
So this Halloween, I decided to try some Mummy Garland!
I love it because it involves folding, tracing, cutting and creating — perfect for kids of all ages with lots of ways to practice fine motor skills.
