Introducing: Exquisite Banana Junior!


I am thrilled to announce a special side project I've been working on...Exquisite Banana Junior! As a preschool teacher and aspiring children's writer (currently finishing up my first manuscript), I've been itching to create a child-centered extension of this site for a long time. I'll be posting about a variety of things over there; books, toys, games, arts & crafts, design inspiration, snapshots and stories from my classroom; essentially, all kids, all the time. Whether you're a teacher, a mama, or a fellow lover of children, I hope you'll follow along as I share my kid-related treasures and inspirations.

P.S. You may have noticed I gave this blog a bit of a makeover. Or really, a make-under. De-cluttered. Streamlined. Simplified. And no more strange green box around the header. Hallelujah!

Have a wonderful weekend...see you back here next week (when I'll be done with graduate school. and celebrating.)

    And I'm so excited for your new blog. Heading on over to check it out just as soon as I send this!
