They did, they really did. This is definitely an occasion for pulling out the milestone books for the kids. We discovered a gem of a book this summer on nutrition. The kids love it and what’s even better they ‘get’ it! Sorry for the sneak peak, but you’ll just have to wait until next week […]

The boys grabbed their bath boats and embarked from Peru (our last stop) to set sail around the world, reviewing what we […]
