I really can’t believe it’s already February. I think I’ll go with “time flies when you’re having fun” instead of “time goes faster as you get older.” I may be getting older, but I’m having so much fun with my preschool-age granddaughter and new grandbaby (soon to be two new grandbabies)! I love sharing the activities we do together along with Montessori ideas from around the blogosphere. Thank you for the part you play in helping me enjoy my life and work!
