I hadn’t read the “10 things…10-12” before, but I just went over and skimmed through it. My kids aren’t that old yet, but I’ll definitely remember to read it again in a few years. Thanks for mentioning it! I’m loving the “10 Things…before age 10” right now. Thank you for linking up to Trivium Tuesdays!
I love their articles (and book). It really helps us stay on track!
