Bringing Back Some Fun, Books, Games & Favorite Things

During the last few months, I found some pleasure in cooking ( recipes will come back soon, I never wrote anything down – so I cannot share) . I also read some great books  and played some games and got some new gadgets! Feel free to browse and gather some ideas.

August’s Arrival

Dear KNOWDifferent Families,

August doesn’t have the same feeling as it has in past years. We do not have any of the typical anticipation of back to school. This year it is all about finding our balance.  Everything is just so different.
