A little "Furry Logic" never hurt anyone.

Over the weekend I received my third book to review from Blogging for Books. I do have to say that I think this one is my favorite so far. 

Furry Logic; a guide to life's little challenges by Jane Seabrook.

It has the sweetest little kitty face on the front of it and to be honest, that little kitty face is what drew me in to choose this book to review.

The book is filled page after page with some of the cutest little animal art that I have ever seen. Each little animal is accompanied by a funny little quote.  I love the one that says "you'll always be my best friend.....you know to much.  ha!

There is all to much truth behind the quote that states "The quickest way for a parent to get a child's attention.....is to sit down and look comfortable." every word of this is true. I experience this daily with my three  year old daughter.  I couldn't help but think of her and smile when I came across this page. The quote is paired up with a momma and baby penguin. Simply beautifully put together.

This book is sure to make anyone smile who looks through it. It would make a wonderful gift for those young or old, in heart or age.

everyone loves a dino

From the moment I pulled this book out of the package I was instantly hooked and drawn in. The bright yellow and blue on the cover drew my eyes right to it and the soft cover beneath my hands had me ready to open the book instantly.
As I flipped through this book for the first time I was delighted and yet amazed to see the vast variety of dinosaurs (150 pages of them!) waiting for you to learn how to draw every detail of them.
The amazing thing about this book is not just the fun drawing instructions but also the little facts they snuck into it. They have little facts thrown into the drawing instructions as well as the meaning of each dinosaur you get to learn how to draw.
The instructions start out very basic and by the time you have completed your drawing, you have added every last detail to make your masterpiece perfect and precise.
My daughter is three and was very excited when this book arrived as well. She flipped through the pages naming the ones she knew and deciding on which one she was going to try and tackle first. She giggled at the silly looking ones and was thankful that the scary looking ones were just drawings.
I was beyond happy to review this book as a courtesy of Blogging For Books and even more happy to have a book that not only brings joy to my daughter when she flips through it but also teaches her the facts of the long ago creatures that are still so loved today.

ready.....set......lets get crafting

My first book to review showed up on my doorstep today. I am just excited and thrilled to receive this amazing book today from Blogging for Books to review. I opened it up right away and am already plotting some great craft ideas

This book is full of sturdy stencils of the upper and lower case alphabet as well as some fun whimsical designs that will be fun to explore and play around with. The cardboard of the stencils is  very sturdy and seems to be durable for multiple uses.

The book also starts off with a paragraph on how to use this book and is then followed with several pages of different craft projects and a list of the items needed to complete the project as well as tips on getting the project started.

I see some amazing fun crafts being created at the hands of this book! I cant wait to show you all what we come up with!

 

 

 

Just a little fluff

A while ago I had my husband purchase the INSANITY dvd set in the intention of using them faithfully. I used them faithfully alright, faithfully to collect dust on the shelf in my garage. Today I trudged through the mountain of crap that was barricading my way to those said DVD's and blew the dust off of them. It took a few tries to get it all, there was many layers! 

Day one of week one totally kicked my ass!

I was briefly pondering and let me stress briefly, doing the other two discs to get me caught up to day 3 which is where I should be due to starting on Wednesday but I'm pretty sure if that even was to happen I would be crawling to work tomorrow. Thankfully I have an easy work day tomorrow but I certainly don't want to do it on my hands and knees!

Oh and did I mention I'm embarking on this adventure with not one, but two bad knees......You're so right, what the hell am I thinking?!?

Stay tunes for some amusing stories as this adventure progresses.

When a door opens, step through it.

I have been pondering in the back of my mind for quite some time now about starting a blog of some type. I have been stalling because I have NO IDEA what I'm doing. Weeelllll tonight, I jumped in feet first and created this blog and I still have no idea what I'm doing. I'm really hoping that when tomorrow comes around I will still be able to navigate my way back to it!

I have always had a love for books and the escape from reality they provide and have been wanting to do book reviews for some time now. I'm really hoping to use this blog to do just that....and to share funny stories of my darling toddler.

lets hope both ideas are successful!
