These are a list of helpful tools that have helped me along the way in motherhood so far.
Books for Littles
I love reading out loud with my littles. These are my favorite places to find new books:
Library – hey, why not save a little and just check out newbies from the local library?
Barefoot Books – if you’re looking for beautifully written, and illustrated, books for your littles that are diverse, bilingual, and captivating, you’ve got to check out Barefoot Books.
