FLASHBACK: ONE YEAR AGO

Every now and then, we take time to savor the past. With graduations happening all around us, the concept of reminiscing is one that is commonplace this time of year. With that in mind, join us as we turn back time to May 18, 2021, ripping a page from our archives. We revisit a shark attack in Australia, examine the beginnings of birthday celebrations, once again walk the streets of ancient Pompeii, remind ourselves of the nutritional value (or detriment) of diet soda, and more. In the wise words of singer Amy Grant, “I will remember you”.

It’s rare when a children’s book comes along that is humorous to both an adult and child. The ramifications of a goose simply breaking free for the day will have your kid(s) doubling over laughing. Not necessarily the best bedtime story, but it’s definitely a fun one to read.
