I was really excited to review the Hands On History Lap-Pak: The 20th Century in America. I must admit as I was working with my son on this Lap-Pak, I felt like I was relearning some things as well as learning something new.

A friend of mine and my mother in law had pointed somethings out about Dakota’s artwork. I never really thought about it lots before but now I am so curious as to how does my son see things and how does he think. I am huge abstract art fan. I love lines and colors.

I am ready to get out side and have those park days with my daughter and enjoy the nice weather to take walks. So I got to thinking on how we could welcome and we have started crafting. However, we still have to finish a few more crafts before I post them.  Read more...
