I received a copy of both books for review via NetGalley.
“A Tale of Two Mommies” by Vanita Oelshlager is a quick read children’s book about a boy who answers questions about his moms, Momma and Mommy, as he plays with two other kiddos at the beach.
“A Tale of Two Daddies”, by the same author, is also a quick read, this time about a girl who answers questions about her dads, Daddy and Poppa, as she plays with another kidlet at the playground. […]

Our family is into all different types of art and since I studied fashion design, I LOVE shopping for new clothes. Art and fashion go hand in hand in our household and oftentimes, they blend together.
One of our favorite things to do as a family is go to the local hardware store on the weekends where they do kid’s craft workshops. We build whatever kit is available that weekend; sometimes a birdhouse or a tool caddy. After the project is put together, we get to our favorite part which is PAINTING!! My kids love to draw, but painting really lets them let loose and brings out their creative side.
Occasionally we make HUGE messes and ruin our favorite shirt, but I try not to worry about it too much because it leads to MY favorite pastime of shopping! I am a major shopaholic, so I love buying new clothes. Gymboree is one of my favorite brands. They make such adorable collections of clothing that are affordable and very well made. Not only do they already have good prices, but they run awesome sales all the time such as the Spring Markdown Event where you can get up to 60% off on the cutest clothes for your critters! […]

Greetings! Charlise and I are introducing to our readers here at Crunchy Family a new column entitled “Crunchies Around the World”.

Christmas is one of the most celebrated holidays in the world. Because it’s one of the most celebrated, it’s earned the superlative “most wasteful time of the year”. But it doesn’t have to be!

In The 12 Cats of Christmas by Perry Kirkpatrick, Gloria’s best friend tells her she needs a cat after her beloved dog dies. She’s not sure, but then cats start showing up on her doorstep everyday. It’s a short story of 35 pages, published the 14th of December—and if you’re like me and prefer to read books before you read their reviews, you can download it from the Amazon Kindle store for free.

Mid-September, I tried Amazon Prime for a bit because of a new laptop order and a “Why not?” attitude adopted from Hillary Duff. It wasn’t until October that I realized I had the ability to indulge in Amazon’s channels—including the special movie channels, like Starz and Showtime and HBO. When I saw Storks listed under the HBO channels, I subscribed to a free 7-day trial to HBO and hopped on that ish. […]
