NEW SECTIONS IN OUR BLOG!

Posted by

Last month we started with the category: “Did you know?” where each day we post a few interesting facts of one country. Our house has many nationalities and we thought it was a great thing to share with the community.

DidKnow

This month, we are feeling proactive, so we start with the category of “Word of the Day” where each day we will learn a new word in English so we can improve our vocabulary. 🙂

Hope you all like it!
