I grew up reading adventure stories about boys, and while I enjoyed them, I have been overjoyed at the recent rise in "Girl-venture" stories geared toward teenagers. I just can't get enough of them. If you are looking for a good book to get caught up in, here are a few of my favorites.
Alright, I’ll admit it (insert labored sigh). I’m not a Nancy Drew fan. Veronica Mars? Of course. Buffy the Vampire Slayer? YES PLEASE! But Nancy Drew and I have never been formally introduced.
This past Saturday ( 2/12) over 35 guests joined us here in Grain Valley to enjoy a wonderful presentation from an American Girl Doll and Tea Party Etiquette expert. She taught the girls about several of the American Girl Dolls and the time period each are from. She also taught the proper etiquette for a tea party. Do you know the difference between High Tea and Low Tea? Or, the proper way to hold your cup while drinking your tea? The young ladies who attended this program now know the answer to these questions and so much more.
Are you ready to party like a princess? Then visit us next Saturday, March 3rd at 2:00 p.m. for South Independence's Princess Tea Party!
Come dressed in your princess best, and join our princess friends for a tea party fit for a queen. We'll have some visiting princesses here to read stories and interact with the little princesses, so bring your cameras!
Also, we'll be making some awesome princess crafts (Magic wands, royal crowns, and princess clothespin dolls) for you to take home with you!
