  • The Little Red Hen
    The Little Red Hen
    Hooray for a good work ethic! The little red hen asks but receives no help in her efforts to put bread on the table. Yet all who wouldn't help would like to eat. In a refreshingly old-fashioned triumph of moral consequences, they don't get to!
  • Noisy Nora
    Noisy Nora
    Poor Nora! The loveable mousette experiences all the pangs of the child-in-the- middle, caught between the demands of baby brother and bossiness of big sister. Catchy meter, playful illustrations make for a wonderfully satisfying mouse's tale. Baby-Preschool

    A Chair for My Mother
    A remarkably beautiful story told by a young girl whose mother is a waitress. Since they lost all their furniture in a fire, they've been saving mother’s tips in a jar – so they can buy a big comfortable chair for their whole family to enjoy – daughter, mother and grandmother. Life has its ups and downs, but there’s always lots of love. Ages 4-7

Dr. Laura book winners!

drlaura.jpgI was out all afternoon and evening.  Tripp was posting comments for me and I was thinking of you all and eager to get home and do the raffle - and if you didn't win, I have some other things coming up, so keep checking in.

There were 75 comments.  I wanted to make this completely impartial, so I actually cut and pasted the comments into a word document and then wadded each one up and put them in a bowl, gave them a few good shakes and pulled Justin away from watching Star Wars with his brothers to pull the winning names - which may be why he looks a little less than enthusiastic.

And now, I wish I'd cleaned his face from the pizza I brought home before taking these pictures :)

Hooray Julana and Hannah - and what were the odds of those two names popping up together?

How I wish I had 75 books to give all of you!  If you are going to buy the book, please remember to buy it through my link  - maybe your hubby will want to give it to you for Mother's Day?

I have some other cool stuff coming up though - and remember, the MommyLife Mother's Day Giveaway with my personal gifts will be next weekend (though I will not be announcing winners until late Sunday night).
Love,
