Our Favorite Holiday Books
The holiday season is approaching and we’re so excited! Christmas lights are up, the weather’s chilly, and there’s peppermint everything! We’ve decided here’s nothing more cozy and snuggly than some hot cocoa, soft PJ’s, and a good book.

Teaching Kids About Racism

Practicing Gratitude with Kids
My name is Ngoc Nguyen Lay and I am the mother and co-creator of two rascals. My husband (and biggest supporter) Albert and my two little rascals, AJ and Ben, inspire me every day to play, create, eat, travel, read, and celebrate.

Our Top 5 Books About Gratitude
“Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more…It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend…Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.” – Melody Beattie
