  • A must have

    I bought Dr Watson’s book about a year ago and just picked up on her podcast.......I know I’m a bit slow when it comes to technology, but this is a powerful tool and a must have addition to the collection. It expounds on the book and is so refreshing to be able to continue the journey with my daughters after reading the book. Thank you Dr. Watson!
