Are Vampire Bats Real? Easy Reader

ByErin

Kids naturally love learning but I’ve found, at least with the younger ages, nonfiction books can be a bit overwhelming.  The information often doesn’t read like a normal book and kind of just has little blurbs randomly spread over the page.  My kids don’t often pick up nonfiction books, and I think that has something…

We love Star Wars and it is good for motivating a lot of learning around here.  And since they are very active, activities that involve moving around are typically best.

Buttermilk Pancakes with Strawberry Compote

ByErin

Buttermilk Pancakes with Strawberry Compote!  These pancakes were SO delicious and not overly sweet! The Kids in the Kitchen blog hop is featuring kid made breakfasts this week.  When it comes to the boys, there is not a breakfast food they don’t like.  I knew finding something Royal wanted to make would not be hard…
