I'm about to go get Isabel up so I don't have time at the moment to check into these but I'm looking forward to it.
I've been trying to do a little research as I have time on BHM so I appreciate your posts.

Debbie, I will post some preschool work sites later today. I hope these help. I have tons of sites for activities. I just have not had time to add them.

This is great, and thanks for the BHM links, too. Would you mind if I shared this info on my blog, too?
