A Little Housekeeping:
If you’d like to follow me on Facebook, well then, I’d love to see you there! Facebook can be a little wacky sometimes and seems to shuffle up your feed from time to time. But I’ve heard that Facebook has decided to help pages (like mine) get back into your news feeds — you just have to know the steps!
If you hover over the “Liked” button on my page (this link will open in a separate window so you can refer back here), then click on “Settings”, there are now 3 options:
* ALL UPDATES
* MOST UPDATES
* ONLY IMPORTANT
You can choose whichever setting you would like, depending on how much you love seeing my posts! If you want to make sure you don’t miss a thing, you can also click “Get Notifications” if you want to be notified every time I post!
One More Thing: My friend, Mariah Bruehl of Playful Learning, has a great new elesson available! Help your kids create a Writer’s Notebook. Summer’s the perfect time to start recording all those amazing stories!
Enjoy your weekend!
Amanda, I’m so honored that you would share my post on your wonderful blog. Thank you and cheers from your online friend!
