I often walk into a room and find the little one cuddled up with either one or both of his older siblings and one of them has a book reading to him.

As parents, we often hear "What" questions from our children. "What is the most dangerous animal in the world?", "What makes the Northern Lights change colors?", etc. I have to be honest and admit that a lot of times, instead of taking time to thoroughly explain these type questions, I will give them a summarized answer instead. For example, "well, … [Read more...]

The next day when Jennifer returned to the reef the Puffer Fish was still swimming with the Sweetlips. She found it interesting that even though they do not usually swim together they were.

I can admit it...I am a bookworm! I grew up loving to read. In fact, my parents said when they used to send me to my room for punishment purposes, they would have to add "and you can't read a book while you're in there either!" because I loved reading so much.
