So it begins.. the holiest week of the year for the Orthodox church. So, this week we'll be abstaining from social media to try and follow the journey of He who loves us most ❤️

We'll also be remembering and praying for those who live in anguish every.single.day. Those who live the reality of the graphics I can no longer view. Our brothers and sisters in Palestine and Ukraine. Those people who have forgotten what peace and love look like.

May this week be a source of peace to the world.

I'll be available via email for any inquiries. See you for Easter 🐣

Puzzles are awesome for kids for so many reasons! 🎉 They help with big movements (gross motor skills) when they handle large puzzle pieces or stack blocks. Plus, they improve fine motor skills when they use their fingers and hands to put pieces together. And, puzzles are great for hand-eye coordination too! 👀🖐️

But wait, there’s more! Puzzles also teach problem-solving skills, boost memory, and build confidence. 🧩💪 They’re like little challenges that kids can conquer, one piece at a time. And as they solve puzzles, they learn to cooperate and communicate with others, which is super important.

Oh, and did I mention puzzles are awesome for learning new words and concepts? 📚 They’re like a fun vocab lesson disguised as playtime! Plus, completing a puzzle gives kids a real sense of achievement. 🏆 And they help kids learn to stick with something until it’s done 💪
