Not many people know this about me, but I am a family history enthusiast. The only party I throw every year, besides my kids birthday parties, is a Dia de los Muertos party, where we all get together and talk about our ancestors. We also eat really good food that is all of our ancestors' favorites. When I found a podcast all about family history and learning about people's stories, I knew that I had to talk about it on my show. Links from this Episode: Podcast Checklist   View the...

The Finnish term for Valentine's Day, juustuvanpäivä, translates into Friend's Day. Here are some fun friendship...

I have so many good memories of snuggling up and watching the Disney princess movies as a kid. Since having my own kids, I'm a bit more wary of the way the princesses were portrayed in those movies.

That's why I decided to wait until a...

This is why the kids now listen to sleep podcasts after I leave the room. This week's kid podcast is one of the podcasts in our bedtime rotation called Koala Moon. It is wonderfully soothing, but still entertaining. Links from this...
