Recently we visited the Field Museum in Chicago - it was an INCREDIBLE day, filled with so many wonderful things that we're still talking about it! We'll share more of our visit with you in the next month or so - but we'd like to start with a new exhibit, called The Nature of Diamonds.

I am so happy to share a great picture book for kids today! It is called Greetings from Kiwi and Pear, and it is a great book for kids to learn about the world. I liked it because it is adventurous and the art is so cute. This book is best for young kids, and they can learn about different places around the world. Kiwi and Pear are two adorable monkeys.
