Must-Have Marvin! The Shine Bright Kids series teaches kids the importance of making good choices, from the author of Can't-Wait Willow, Christy Ziglar.  This book is a 10x10 inches size with a really cool raised glittery title. The robot in Marvin's hand is also glittery. The illustrations are very colorful and done by Luanne Marten. The book is for children 4-8 years of age but of course you can read it yourself or read it to any age child. The Shine Bright Kids series is from Ideals Children's Books.  My Mom and Grandmother always had Ideals books for the holidays and I loved to page through the beautiful pictures.  Did you know you can visit Ideals on Facebook  and on their web site ? Hippity Hoppity the Easter Bunny is on his way and Ideals books make the prefect gift for Easter Baskets and gifts. I just love the illustrations of the books.

Well, what do you think? Is she good, bad, or are you not sure?  I jumped over to youtube to watch the trailer before I published this post-it has like over a million views already. You might want to buy your tickets early-just saying.  and here's another new trailer for you! MALEFICENT is in theaters everywhere on May 30, 2014.  STORY SYNOPSIS: "Maleficent" explores the untold story of Disney’s most iconic villain from the classic “Sleeping Beauty" and the elements of her betrayal that ultimately turn her pure heart to stone. Driven by revenge and a fierce desire to protect the moors over which she presides, Maleficent cruelly places an irrevocable curse upon the human king’s newborn infant Aurora. As the child grows, Aurora is caught in the middle of the seething conflict between the forest kingdom she has grown to love and the human kingdom that holds her legacy. Maleficent realizes that Aurora may hold the key to peace in the land and is forced to take drastic a

UWhen The Cypress Whispers  by  Yvette Manessis Corporon is the story of a young woman named Daphne and the special bond she shares with her Greek Grandmother, also known in Greek as her Yia-yia. The book is based on the authors relationship with her Yia-yia. Growing up her Yia-yia told her real life stories of how her grandmother befriended a Jewish girl named Rosa whose family was hiding form the Nazis. Can you imagine a life like that-having to hide yourself and family in another country. Each and every day they had to keep that a secret. The families of the island kept the secret from the Nazis, and told no one that the family was hiding on the Greek island of Erikousa. The island families took a risk in not telling the Nazis that the Jewish family was amongst them because the Nazis made it clear that anyone hiding Jews would be killed along with their family.  Each night the author's Grandmother would open her doors to her home and welcome Rosa inside for comfort and friendsh

It's Friday, it's the second day of Spring, and I just read a book. Off to a good start I'd say. Now if I could get the laundry done, and the dishes put away before dinner time that would be some accomplishment.  The book I read this morning is titled SUBURBAN HAIKU: Poetic Dispatches from Behind the Picket Fence.  Do you know what a haiku is? It's a 17-syllable, three line poem. I took a creative writing class in high school and we wrote haiku poems, not that I was good at it, but those three lines of a poem had to hold very meaningful words. It was one topic of the class I actually enjoyed, so when I saw the title of this book I knew I wanted to read it.  The book is written by Petyon Price, a mom living in a suburban neighborhood. Can you relate? I can. We moved into our neighborhood while it was still being built so I think the families all had a common bond, new house, new neighbors, new ways to see how each other decorated, what kind of cars we drove, and who had

Day 15 of USA in a Day I've been looking through my house to see where things are made.  If I find an item made in USA I'll be sharing it here. To read days 1-14 go to the USA in a Day tab. One of the most useful pans in my kitchen is a cast iron frying pan. I have several cast iron frying pans in different sizes that get used daily. From breakfast time eggs, to a grilled cheese sandwich at lunch, to a  main dish at dinner, these cast iron pans are great for stove top or oven cooking.  The pan in the photo was made by Griswold from Erie Pennsylvania. The only infomration I found on this company was ebay listings for the skillets. Tupperware. Durable, useful, and found in most kitchens.  Terv i s tumblers keep your beverages cold for a long time!  Available in a variety of sizes, designs, and logos.  Pyrex bowls, casseroles, and measuring cups have been in kitchens and keeping up with the times with changes in styles and colors. I prefer the older Pyrex bowls to the new clear g
