The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2012 annual report for this blog.
Here’s an excerpt:
600 people reached the top of Mt. Everest in 2012. This blog got about 11,000 views in 2012. If every person who reached the top of Mt. Everest viewed this blog, it would have taken 18 years to get that many views.

Once they got past their differences, they could be friends...imagine!
Given that my little people are on Spring break, we made the most of it today. We had a playdate and visited our local library. Our family just loves the library and views it as a magical place, full of many adventures, just waiting to be explored. While at the library we discovered that we could check out Wii games…for free and for a few days at a time. At the same time, I found myself amazed and grateful.
What a wonderful way for audiences young and old to try out new games and new yoga poses for the Wii 🙂 I was so thrilled by this awesome discovery, I felt the need to share it with all of you.
The other treasure we found while at the library, was a book called, The Three Little Wolves and the Big Bad Pig, written by Eugene Trivizas and Helen Oxenbury. My daughter and I shared so many laughs over this tonight. The vocabulary is excellent; some words were challenging for my daughter to sound out and there were a couple of words she did not know meaning. I utilized these words as great teachable moment tools.
Scholastic offers a free lesson plan for parents and teachers to use with children provided by Michelle Higgens, a third grade teacher. Given the lexicon used in this book, I would recommend for grades 1-3. This would be a great resource to use when teaching/discussing bullying and differences with child/student.
I hope everyone runs out to their local library and reads this book…funny, cute and a tool to learn from.
Have a great night and happy reading!
May we continue to seek knowledge in all things,
Denise
