Happy Tuesday!

This week we’re celebrating spring the way it deserves — with stories that move you, experiences that surprise you, and books perfect for the wee ones in your life.

What the Cardinals Taught Us - A cardinal nest in the nandina. Four eggs. Four tiny mouths. Then the storms came. This tender story of nature, loss, and hope in the backyard will stay with you long after you finish reading it.

The Healing Power of Cow Cuddling: How These Gentle Giants Soothe the Soul - Hugging a cow might sound strange — until you try it. Bovine therapy is a growing trend, and the emotional benefits are real. One writer shares what happened when she and her friends spent an afternoon at a California cow sanctuary.

For the Grandchildren You Love

There’s a moment every spring when the children in your life notice something — a butterfly, a blooming tree, a bug on the sidewalk — and stop in their tracks. That wide-eyed wonder is one of the best things about being around children at this time of year.

Spring Into Reading with Your Young Children - Whether you’re gathering around the Seder table, hiding Easter eggs, enjoying friends and nature, or just looking for an excuse to curl up together, these four picks are perfect for this season.
