Storyteller
Categories: Family, Folks, Happy Things
The Pueblo people of New Mexico make a type of pottery doll called the Storyteller. It is a person sitting with their mouth open telling a story, with children crawling all over their arms, legs, back, all listening to the story.

And it works better in our house because of it. We know it takes both of us to make this house run smoothly. Keep reading
