Hello! My name is Kacey and I’m a sucker

The good news is… I didn’t buy these. In fact, I’m pretty sure I scoffed at those who did and said something like “suckers!” The bad news is…. These were love at first sight.  I’m now eating my words.  How can anyone say no to Cynthia Rowley? Don’t all city toddlers need designer diapers?  I [...]

An Interview and Giveaway with Amy Krouse Rosenthal

Recently I was lucky enough to “interview” my favorite children’s author, Amy Krouse Rosenthal about her new book, Bedtime for Mommy. I’ve gushed about Amy K a few times on this website and really couldn’t believe my luck when the opportunity came by to pick a person’s brain—a brain that is so annoyingly creative. What [...]
