My daughter loves the Gigi books by Sheila Walsh. We have several of the books, a Bible, and one movie. Of course, new titles are coming out all of the time. I was browsing through the flyer for Family Bookstore just now and saw that you can get a Gigi plush doll for just $5 […]

This is the first year I have had to work around my daughter’s school schedule to book vacations. In the past, we just went when we wanted to go. Now, there is a real need to make sure she is in class daily and I’m responsible for making sure she gets as much out of […]
