I know this was supposed to be a sewing/craft blog BUT please do forgive me, I have found that I get rather bored posting about the same things over and over so I believe I will try something new.
Lately the girls and I have been to the library quite often (we try for once every week or so) and we have recently discovered a few “new” favorites.
Fairly new favorites:
A Giraffe and A Half / Shel Silverstein
Tell Me Something Happy Before I Go To Sleep / Joyce Dunbar & Debi Gliori
I Love You This Much / Sue Buchanan
Not so new favorites:
The Magic Tree House (series) / Mary Pope Osborne
The Cat In The Hat / Dr Seuss (or really any book by him of course)
The BFG / Roald Dahl
Charlottes Web / E.B. White
Those are all the ones I can think of off the top of my head anyway. I wish our library kept a list of all the books you’ve checked out, then I could tell you all of our favorites haha. We also have a couple favorite movies from the library though.
The Secret Of Moonacre is a huge favorite, about a moon princess and well, I shouldn’t spoil it for you ;) You’ll have to go find out for your self.
The Great Music Caper
Signing Time this is a GREAT series of videos that do a wonderful job at teaching children (and your self) American Sign Language. Now before you close this window and call me a KOOK, I promise you – This isn’t one of those boring “teach your self”/ “self help” videos that you want to turn off five seconds after you turn it on. Trust me, I probably have the shortest attention span ever in the history of the universe when it comes to learning something new. But this is one my kids absolutely love and I even find my self listening/signing along haha. My two year old knows sign language because of this show…. Ok, anyway, moving on now…
I love books, I absolutely love them and I hope that if nothing else I am able to share that love for books with my children. A book is a place where you can escape reality and be consumed by a world of wonder, a world so completely different than your own, and not only that but you can also choose which “world” you enter.
I am currently reading The Hobbit for the very first time ever (at 23 years old haha horrible right?) and so far I am loving it. I saw the movie that just came out first and that is what sparked my interest in the book, there will be three movies so of course they had to end it without a real ending and everyone was left “wondering” until whenever they decide to release the next one so that is why I picked up the book. Did you know right now my library has over a hundred holds on this book??? Insane, right??? I was just lucky enough to find it in the “lucky” section where there are books that aren’t allowed to be renewed and are only available for seven day loans haha. Speaking of which I believe it was due yesterday (but I am not done) I am a horrible person…
So, I thought I would share a few of our current “favorites” and now I think I will get back to that book before the library starts hating me ;) Until next time,
Kayla
