Miss Katie from Creole Wisdom has a page on her site where she talks about all of her favorite things. “Sorority Snaps” is her term…“In the Greek community snapping is a way of showing that you like something or it’s good.”

Today has been a great day. I thank the new puppy next door for letting me sleep in a little bit later than usual.

In case you think I am some kind of machine turning out [...]

At my elementary school, our librarian came into our class once or twice each week and read a book to us. They really pushed the Eric Carle books…Mister Seahorse, The Very Hungry Caterpillar, The Very Quiet Cricket…we [...]
