The ABCs of Mama. Papa. Bubba. … and The Weekly Kids Co-Op

A couple of the blessings of social media is making the world smaller and being able to glimpse into people’s lives … even if they are half a world away.  This has been true with my coming to know Jen, blogger behind Mama. Papa, Bubba.  Recently she and her family moved to Kuwait … and I have followed the flight over and now the adjustment to desert life through her posts on Instagram.

Jen takes beautiful photos … and they are presented wonderfully on the bright and simple layout of the blog.  Not only does Jen highlight the adventures she has with her little girl, but they do wonderfully fun activities and projects too!  One of my personal favorites is a DIY Felt Board.  So, here are …
