I’ve been blogging for years and I’ve never posted a dog-themed storytime! How is that even possible? My own dog, Aria, is an absolute handful. She’s a pitbull rescue pup who’s almost ten years old. She’s a smart and anxious dog which often gets her into trouble. But, she’s also…

What’s New? Literacious Updates and Changes
I started this blog eight years ago with, I think, my first post at the very tail-end of 2010. Since then I’ve gained (many) more followers, found my voice and better figured out where I see this blog going in the future. I hope by now, you’ll see it’s been…
