Mother’s day is just around the corner. This year, just as last year, my little ones are home with me. While I absolutely love being home with them (most days) I do miss out on a few things from having them in daycare … and one thing that I really miss is sweet little kid-made…

Chalk Nesting Dolls {Golden Cockerel, a How Wee Learn Sponsor}
Did you happen to notice that my site has changed recently? I decided to seek out some private advertisers. Companies that I find fascinating, wonderful, and unique.
