I recently shared my toddler gift ideas, which included some big items and some great learning and creative toys. But one thing that wasn't on that list was books, and that's because I have enough favorite children's books for an entire blog post. If you love to read or you want your child to love to read (who doesn't?), this blog post is for you because these are the best children's books for toddlers.

We are so in love, and we both enjoy finding ways to show our love to one another. But no matter how happy or healthy our marriage is, I believe there is always room for growth and improvement. Why not work on our relationship now while it's great rather than wait until we have problems? I believe it's important to work on your relationship from the very beginning to prevent future problems. Continue Reading
