 I keep mentioning this project we did. It was so successful I really want to actually write about. This kept her attention the entire time and she did most of it completely on her own. Meredith had told me she wanted to watch Three Little Pigs. I originally thought of making her a felt [...]  I wrote my post on TV watching late at night when I should have been sleeping.
