I love new books! Just last week, I was given a new book, called Prince, written by Maria Isabel Sánchez Vegara, and illustrated by Cachetejack. Mom says that it is part of the Little People, Big Dreams collection, celebrating artists, musicians, scientists, and other people who made a big impact on today's way of life. Prince is about a boy who grew up in Minneapolis, who was an amazing singer. I learned that he played at least twenty seven instruments- that's twenty six more than me if you...
As is the theme of the year, the holidays look a little different from what I'm used to. While I have to admit that it was strange not having my grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins around, I think I was okay with it for a year. Keeping our celebration to our little pod, Mom, Dad, and I headed to the family cabin near Newport for a couple of days. It's a perfect holiday spot, overlooking a private lake and far enough north that everything was covered in snow. I even had a custom sledding hil...
Halloween is just a few short weeks away. Now, I know that trick-or-treating is still up in the air, but I like to be prepared. Over the weekend, I taste-tested a few popular Halloween treats, so all of the adults around here know just what to buy. The first bag up for testing was the Hershey's Greatest of All Time, Miniatures. The Mini G.O.A.T bag had all the classics like KitKat bars, Milk Duds, and Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. This is a pretty safe option to have on hand. It even has Almond...
Now that quarantine rules have relaxed a bit, we've been going out a little more. I finally got to go grocery shopping again, and it almost felt like a vacation. Mom says it's because I'm a textbook extrovert. The slightly-relaxed rules have given me a chance to test out the heap of different hand sanitizers Mom has collected lately (some people have a shoe problem, my mom has a hand sanitizer problem). Not sure what sanitizer you want? Here are a couple of my favorites! One of the biggest...
Mom made yet another quarantine mistake. Actually, Mom and Dad were both in on this one. It didn't involve shaving cream and the Roomba, but a TV show called "Shark Tank." Mom thought she was going to deter little me from the TV by watching a 'big kid' show, but boy was she wrong! I'm hooked, everyone. "Shark Tank" is a show where entrepreneurs pitch an idea, an invention or a business to billionaires like Mark Cuban (Mark is one of my favorites). Sometimes, the presenters have a great plan and...
Gracie here! In case you didn't know, being two is tough. Being two AND being stuck at home with Mom all day? Oh boy! Mom says we are 'isolating,' and even though I don't really know what that means, it's been pretty fun! Our mornings start early around here. 6:30 a.m. at the very latest, and I'm always the one getting Mom out of bed. She says she is not a morning person: I say too bad. While I sit down and eat breakfast, Mom cleans up the kitchen and eventually comes over with a cup of coffee,...
