Stage Fright on a Summer Night.
{via Amazon}.
$3.99

P loves Mary Pope Osborne, the author of the fabulous series Magic Tree House. Osborne has written 38 {and counting} historical fiction books for early readers covering topics like the San Francisco earthquake of 1906 {Earthquake in the Early Morning} and William Shakespeare {Stage Fright on a Summer Night}. As a mom I love them because they are full of strong female role models, the stories are engrossing {for both of us}, and P has learned a lot of history along the way. I highly recommend every last one of them.

Just looking at this photo makes me hungry. I’m not sure I’ve ever had Classic Cannoli, but now I have to make some. If you’ve tried this recipe or have an amazing one of your own, let me know I’d love to hear about it. Here’s Martha’s recipe for the true Italian version.

I schlepped around in pajama bottoms for weeks after both of my babies were born, and it took me close to [...]

Kid’s Wheelbarrow.$29.99{via Touched By Touch}. I’m sorely tempted to buy this wheelbarrow from Touched By Dutch. The wheelbarrow folds flat when not in use {so it would fit nicely in my shed without monopolizing space} and is reputed to be manageable for both toddlers & older kids. It might be worth getting just so C [...]
