My littlest boys were beyond excited when the Learning Palette games from Learning Wrap ups arrived for review. We actually got to review a ton of stuff and all four of my youngest children ended up enjoying the contents of that box. They don't get review products very often and this one looked beautiful and amazing from the get-go. First, we reviewed the 2nd Grade Math Learning Palette 1 Continue Reading >>
Inventory Your Books Fast: Library, Music, Games, and More.
Have you ever wished that all your books were written down in one place? Maybe you even started with a spreadsheet and got a couple hundred books entered before you gave up.
