We went camping in tents and cabins a lot when I was a kid. My daughter has already shown an interest in going camping, but until we do go on our own trip, these camping toys and books for kids have helped us to pretend!
My daughter loves to dance. Not a day goes by that we are not dancing around the house to one song or another. I’m sure she gets it from me, since I am usually dancing while I cook, wait in line, or drive the car.

When I was a kid, I read a ton of the American Girl books. My sister and I both had our favorites (I loved Molly, she loved Samantha), and we read the books, did the crafts, and put on the plays. I love that these books introduced readers to strong young girls and the historical time periods that they lived in, and I am really excited that my daughter has started showing interest in the American Girl stories. I have also been impressed over the years with their nonfiction books and their quest for teaching young girls all about themselves and what they can do. So we were thrilled when we were given the chance to check out their new Summer Treats American Girl cookbook!

Some kids stay with a caretaker or daycare teacher while their parents are at work. Other kids may be home with a parent, but someday have to separate when they go off to school. Some children have parents who live in different homes, and have to split their time. All of these situations can be difficult for both the parents and kids to deal with. So I am happy to share some of the best children’s books about separation that have helped my daughter and I to cope when we have to be apart.
