  4. Just went to her website. I forgot she did the book Band of Sisters. Now that one is added back to the list of things to read, eventually.
    And I loved all her tips about her kids and helping them learn to love reading. Some of those tips are things I need to start doing!
    Thanks!

  12. I like that she has a grammar post. I like correct grammar (even though I know I don't use correct grammar all the time, which also bugs me). For example, did you know that "snuck" is not a word? Eg. "Last week, I snuck into the movie theater". The correct way to say it is "Last week, I sneaked into the movie theater." So many people say "snuck" that I thought it was a word until I typed it into Word and it was red-lined. I had to Google it. Oh and "nother"....yeah, that's a whole "nother" issue that bothers me. :)
