It's hard to believe we're getting close to Easter already! I think everyone's timelines (and calendars) feel a bit off lately, due to the coronavirus and the unique situation of being at home almost all the time.

For the past couple years, I've done an Easter basket for our daughter, Sophie. She's just about 2 and a half now, so this year will be her third Easter basket. … [Read more...]

14 Lovely Children’s Books for the Enneagram 4 Parent (+ for the poetic side of all of us!)
