After reading the book, Gifted Hands, by Ben Carson and watching the self-same titled movie, I have been inspired to significantly limit my Television watching and to read at least two books a week and write about each of these books.  I have also, like any mother who enjoys tormenting her children for their betterment, required Claire to do the same.  My small person is enthusiastic about picking out books from the library and reading them, but is less eager to complete her book reports!  I will happily share our adventures in reading and learning in this blog.
