I made it home from the mini shop hop I took with my mom and sister. I cannot wait to tell you all about the shops we visited, fabric I bought and food we ate. First though, I want to tell you about the fantastic book I read each evening before my head hit the [...]
This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Raising a Father. All opinions are 100% mine. With all the commercialism on television and on the radio today, one would think that the way to our children’s hearts is through money. All we hear is how we should be sure to buy the [...]
Jennifer Chiaverini is one of my favorite authors. She writes books about women who quilt. These books are not necessarily about quilts, rather they are about women and their relationship to a quilter or a quilt or both! Quilts are a wonderful connection. I have had The Quilter’s Homecoming book sitting on my nightstand for [...]
Today is Dr. Suess’s birthday. In case you have forgotten, he is the magical creator of those wonderful books like Cat In the Hat and Green Eggs and Ham. We have a collection of his books that were my husbands when he was a child. They never go out of style do they? I loved [...]

When my daughter says she has books, she means it! We went to IKEA on Saturday and she bought a very pretty book case with glass doors. It holds a lot of books but not all of her books. She is an avid reader. She loves science fiction, and other types of books. What do [...]
My sister has a cool post on her blog, It’s My Imagination that shows the book she was matched with because of her selection of answers to a few questions. By answering those questions, she was matched up with the book. One of my questions was whether I was long winded. LOL Here is the [...]
My mom’s sister, who I always called Aunt Audrey, made the cutest Raggedy Ann dolls. She always embroidered a heart on Ann’s tummy that said I Love You. I think that was a tradition when making Raggedy Ann dolls. Raggedy Ann was a fictional character created by writer Johnny Gruelle. Mister Gruelle wrote children’s books [...]
I listened as a friend told me how her daughter gained so much from her journey to a foreign country. Now she wants to help her son earn money so he can make the trip. I think we all need to experience and learn about other countries and their people. There is an interesting book [...]
