Welcome to my month of insanity! Buckle your seat beats because I’m hoping to do a little of the unexpected with these posts. So, when deciding on the letter “A” for my first post, I immediately was drawn to Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland because of the story. I think it’s one that connects to the child in all of us.
