Celebrate the small things...


Hi everyone. As most of you may know, Fridays we celebrate anything we like. Special thanks to Lexa Cain and her blogging partners who host this blog.
Here's what we're celebrating this week:

  • I reviewed Barbara Ann Mojica's wonderful book, Little Miss History Travels to Mount Vernon. It's a really good, educational book about George Washington's life at his estate, Mount Vernon. The illustrations are spectacular, too. Children will adore it.

  • My sister, Holly, sent the first rough draft of an illustration for our children's book. Everyone in our family loved it. We can't wait till the book is done.
What are you celebrating this week?
