Once upon a time

A week or so ago, our family discovered the most wonderful website ever: Storynory.

We are all enjoying listening to classic stories beautifully narrated and unmodernized, and there are dozens of them, so it will be a great while before we have heard them all.

When Spring returns, I am always particularly eager for the children to be "unplugged," avoiding computer activities in favor of time spent outdoors. This is one site I will always encourage, particularly if I can sit right by their side and hear the tales myself!

[Please note: We have not come close to listening to all the stories. Based on what we have heard so far, I am assuming there are not problematic elements in any of them.]

Once upon a time there was a girl named Alice. She was a beautiful and happy girl, and when she grew up, she married her prince and they had scores of children. Alice, The Prince and the Children were very busy living happily ever after, but one day, Alice decided to create a blog and share some of the happiness and beauty with the world. And the blog left its readers full of happiness and new discoveries. Every time.

The End (though we hope there's never an end to Alice's Blog.)
