When Stories Come to Life

April 25, 2012 by 6 Comments

I LOVED the posts linked up last week because so many were creative with books and poetry.

These activities didn’t have kids at desks reading quietly.

They had kids experiencing the story.

stories come to life I can’t wait to try these with my boys {who try to convince me that reading is boring}.

Not anymore…

Moms throughout the ages have given a LOT of advice.

I remember when I was in grade school my mom started exercising and drinking 8 glasses of water a day.  I can still picture that blue semi-opaque glass that was perpetually by the sink.

Drink more water!

We are excited to be a part of Mom's Pure Wisdom on Nestle Pure Life Facebook Page.  

Stop by and share some mom wisdom {or see what other moms recommend}.

Go!  I am a mom and I say so :).
