We all have times in our lives when we feel wronged by another party for a slight that we perceived to be malicious, but turned out to be an innocent misunderstanding. It can be difficult for children especially to look past themselves and consider the reasons behind the actions of another person. Today’s book deals with this type of situation in a fun and hilarious way, through the story of a potato who is looking to buy a pair of pants.
I love Fancy Nancy. The popular book series by Jane O’Connor and Robin Preiss Glasser follows Nancy Clancy, a young girl who loves everything fancy. She loves to use big words, and she dresses and accessorizes to impress. She also uses French words whenever she can, and does her best to add a little fantastique to the world around her. With the recent release of the Disney Junior show based on the books, my daughter has fallen in love with the world of Fancy Nancy. We had the opportunity to check out some of the new Fancy Nancy Toys from Jakks Pacific, and it inspired me to put together this list of gifts for Fancy Nancy fans.

I decided to bring it to life with a list of fun color mixing activities for kids!
Purchasing baby gifts can be overwhelming. There are so many options and so many things to consider. Do you go for the adorable outfit or the practical car seat base?

Given my love of books and learning, I wanted to gather a list of fantastic educational gifts for babies!

My daughter and I have always been big fans of music. We sing together, we play piano, we play toy instruments, and we love to dance. I have sung to her every night before bed from the very beginning, and I have encouraged her to experience a wide variety of musical genres. Through the influence of her 
I love books that teach kids about language and literature in fun and interesting ways. My focus in grad school was literacy, so I spent a lot of time learning about language and literary elements, and it can sometimes be a dry topic. So I was thrilled when I had the opportunity to check out this hilarious book about the element of surprise, and saw how easily it made the topic fun and engaging!

Luckily, there are lots of great children’s books on gratitude to help explain the topic. Today I decided to gather some of our favorite books on thankfulness to help you dive into the topic as a family.
