The Laurie Berkner Band: Waiting for the Elevator
Mini Me and discovered The Laurie Berkner Band when the band was featured on Jack’s Big Music Show on Nick Jr and Noggin. Her fun and catchy songs were so loved in our house that we had to buy ALL of her albums.
Re-learning Things with our Children
I’ve had many thoughts about re-learning things alongside my children.
Ah, this is when I’ll relearn about the American Revolution. (I didn’t. Though I learned more than I did the first time around.)
This is when I’ll learn all the state capitols. (I did, mostly.)
This is when I’ll learn about ancient civilizations or re-learn about the missions. (Nope.)
