Oh my word, you guys. This was such a fun week! First, Kara and I got to chat with Julie Bogart, creator and owner of Brave Writer. Then, we got to take over Brave Writer’s Instagram feed. And then we hit number one on the K-12 Education category on iTunes.
And then we went away for a long weekend! And the bad moods went away, at least for the moment. (We all know that The Hangover from Fun happens post-vacation!)

This sounds like a lovely week! I keep hearing about Poetry Teatime — I think it’s time I look into it! We’re reading “Little House in the Big Woods” and some Fall-themed books, among other things. Looking forward to our next long read-aloud (this is our second time through Little House).
It’s honestly such a fun tradition. Let me know if you try it and what the kids think!
