We just received a great birthday party idea that I wanted to share with you.  One of our fans, Katie, recently turned 7 and wanted a “Hopkins Party”.  Here’s what Mom, Starr, wrote to us: I’ll just admit it…   I’m as hooked on your Signing Time DVD’s as my daughter Katie is.      I am homeschooling her and we use this as part of our school day.     We have  3 other families that  we “hang  out” with and they are getting hooked too. :  ) Recently,  we did a family birthday party for my little girl (she turned 7) and  she …
