Ah, the grey days of January. The holiday fun and chaos is over. Here are a few links for coloring pages and other east activities to do with your little ones.

Did you know January 8th is Bubble Bath Day? It's also National Joy Germ Day--as in spreading the joy! It was founded by Ms. Joan White in 1980 to promote a positive outlook on life, and to encourage everyone to spread joy, something the world sure needs more of right now. Who knew being contagious could be a good thing?

Lastly, the week of January 8-14 is Universal Letter Writing Week. What better way to spread some joy than to write a heartfelt letter to someone you love, admire, or are grateful for?

Have a good one!
