Let's Talk About the Moon

January 5, 2017 By Jodi

For some reason, I've got it stuck in my head that I'm going to teach my kids, from the very beginning, about the stages of the moon. I think it would be so cool to hear a tiny human voice say, "Look mama! A waning crescent moon!" With that in mind, any time we see the...
