I started this blog with one daughter, kept it up with the other, to spend time together doing something we enjoyed.
However, things change and people evolve. My daughters are older, busier, and not as interested in writing.
From now on this blog will be mostly mom with occasional contributions from my daughters and maybe even my husband.
Nothing else will change. We'll still focus on sharing fun places to go, fun things to do, and more, and we would  still love to hear your views too

Giveaway: Win a copy of The Circus of the Vanishing Elephant in the Thanks A Latter Giveaway Hop!

 Welcome to the Thanks A Latte Giveaway Hop



Even in this divisive world, there is so much to be grateful for, including the many animals we share our planet with. Therefore, we should treat our fellow creatures with the utmost care and respect so that we don't lose any more species than we already have. However, we don't always agree on how to respect and care for animals. For instance, whether animals should be allowed to perform in circuses and other shows has become very hotly debated in recent years.

Tim Schooley, a former circus performer himself, addresses this issue in his book, The Circus of the Vanishing Elephant, but not in a heavy-handed way. He does an excellent job of presenting both sides of the debate. Plus, the book is about more than just that.

It is an interesting, heartfelt story full of fascinating, well-drawn characters, including the animals, especially Henrietta, the young elephant at the center of the story. It touchingly portrays the loving bonds that can form between humans and animals but doesn't shy away from the darker side of these relationships. For more about this book, see our previous post Tips for Tuesday - Books: The Circus of the Vanishing Elephant. Enter to win a copy below:
