    Children’s Book of the Week: Explode The Code primers

    This week’s book of the week is different from normal.

The books are Explode The Code primers by Nancy Hall. There are three books in total.

    2019 Holiday Gift Guide for 4-5 Year Olds

    Children’s Book of the Week: You Get What You Get by Julie Gassman

    It’s been quite a while since my last book of the week. I’ve planned out the next five weeks of blog content to make sure I stay focused. I get things done when I plan ahead. However, if I don’t plan I tend to slack off. Back to the book of the week. This week’s book is You Get What You Get. This is another Kindle Unlimited book. I need to get down to Barnes & Noble to buy some physical books soon. Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links. I may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you.
