My Thoughts…
This is a cute short story, not really a story more a list
of great ideas that every family, parent, or grandparent should check out for
their children/grandchildren. I always
pride myself on being involved with my child, making time for them, and being
their biggest supporter. This book
opened my eyes to things I may have missed and things I should try. I loved all the great suggestions that are
appropriate for younger children and for older children. I found this an easy book to page through
and pick up implement ideas with my family.
I am sure many great memories will be made with my family thanks to
Little Things Long Remembered.
