My 5-year-old twin daughters Greta and Cora are in a video with Cathy Puett Miller, an expert on early reading who travels to speak about literacy and who happens to live here in Huntsville, Alabama. Cathy is known as The Literacy Ambassador. In the video, they are playing Rhymin' Simon, which is featured in Cathy's new book, Anytime Reading Readiness (book can be purchased at that link). There is, by the way, a book for parents and a separate book on the topic for teachers, plus Cathy has many other books available. Check it out!

Baby Dipper bowls now available in Canada!!!

Yes, you read the title correctly: the new BPA-free Baby Dipper bowl/spoon/fork set is now available for purchase in Canada. Our first Canadian retailer is My Lil' Package in Halifax, Nova Scotia. My Lil' Package offers a wide variety of baby items, toddler items, and even maternity and postpartum items.

I know there are some Canadians out there who have been waiting for a while for the BPA-free version of the Baby Dipper bowl so that it could be sold in Canada, so I'm very happy to let you all know about our new retailer, My Lil' Package. Please pass the news along to all of your friends and family members in Canada who have young children or know folks with young children. Thanks!
