A personal blog, named in honor of the novel Petticoat Government by a favorite author, Emma Orczy. The novel is about a fictional woman, Lydie d'Aumont, who attempts to inject some fairness and good governance into the court of France's Louis XVth despite the corruption and selfishness there.

Book review
My daughter found Bugs: a read-and-do Book by Judith Moffatt at the library, and she LOVES it. It has text geared to the beginning reader, bright illustrations, and (best of all) clear instructions on how to make bugs out of construction paper. She needs me to help cut out the shapes, but otherwise she can do the assembling part mostly on her own. She now has a dragonfly, butterfly, caterpillar, spider, and ladybug, all made out of bright construction paper. The caterpillar is currently her best friend.
