My sister is visiting us this week and I thought it would be fun to feature a book about aunts! Here’s a new children’s book for the 9-12 set written by the bestselling author of The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency - The Five Lost Aunts of Harriet Bean (Harriet Bean).
From the book description:
When […]

What is the world coming to? I’ve got about 10 years before my son is a teenager and I’m already afraid of what he’s going to encounter. When I was a teenager a bazillion years ago, I concentrated on my school work and extracurricular activities. I might have thought about boys every […]
