Some came home safe, some came home lame, and some simply did not. [...] Written by Taryn Newville – Toddler Room Teacher. There’s a reason I do what I do…..I love Toddlers! They are so bright and inquisitive. They never cease to amaze me. And you know, they never stop being special to me. Even when they are in High School and refuse to acknowledge that I knew [...]
IF I HAD MY LIFE TO LIVE OVER – by Erma Bombeck I would have gone to bed when I was sick instead of pretending the earth would go into a holding pattern if I weren’t there for the day. I would have burned the pink candle sculpted like a rose before it melted [...]

About the things you do and those you love? About even the little things and tiniest details of your life? If you have ever wondered, let me tell you a story of just one time, one tiny incident, one little detail.
