Books Books Books!!!

Links to this post
I now officially have my own online book store!!!  Back when Graham and Parker were born, we were given a stack of used baby, toddler, preschooler books. When they were released from the NICU, I got the books out so I could start reading to them. By the time Graham and Parker were 1, they had a few favorite books. One was a book called Rusty's Bone.

They absolutely can not get enough of the "that's not my" series and the Farmyard tales series! They get them out to read on their own and ask them to be read to them the most.

So one day I turn the book over to see who it was written by and such. I found a little sticker that said Usborne books and a number to call.  I called the number and there was a voicemail. I left a message for the Usborne consultant to call me back, I wanted to buy more of these books. She never returned my call. I ended up calling the Usborne customer service and they had no info on that consultant. I gave up and bought a few from amazon. I pondered for several years whether or not I might want to become an Usborne consultant. I decided to go for it last week!!

In the past I have been a Mary Kay consultant, and I know there was at least 2-3 other popular companies that I tried out being a consultant with. None of that worked out.

I have read these books to my kids, I know these books. I know how great they are. So I decided to go ahead and try out being a consultant with a company that sells something I know a lot about and have tried out! I am pretty happy with my decision. I can work at my own pace and mostly via the internet. I have very little spare time for home parties. In fact, unless someone asks me to, I won;t be holding any home parties.

My "kit" arrived today and it contains all of the things I need to sell the books and best of all, it contains a HUGE STACK OF AMAZING BOOKS!!!

My kids have been all over the books like little vultures!!  Haley(16) read one already, Mackenna(12) has been checking out all of the books with activities and doing the activities, Cameron(13) has read half of a book, Graham and Parker(4) have looked through 8 of them and had me read 5 to them!!!  I am really happy with the books and best of all they are ours to keep!!! They are my displays too though so they will be kept in a box that I have control over.

Best of all, I paid a total of TEN dollars to get this huge stack of books, all the stuff I need to be a consultant.... and that's it!!! Now I just enjoy the books with my kids and sell books to others for them to enjoy with their kids... and for their kids to enjoy on their own!!!!

Cool deal!

First Art for Toddlers and Twos (and Threes) - GIVEAWAY

Links to this post
I would like to introduce a really awesome book called First Art for Toddlers and Twos. The book is an open ended art activity book for children ages one, two, and three years old. The book is categorized and coded with icons to help you find the types of activities that you might want to do with your children, at any given time. What makes this book so unique is that it packed full of 75 fun filled art experiences for your children. Personally, I believe that most of what is in the book can be done with older children as well. There really is no limit to art. Whether you are an artist, art lover, art dabbler, or art virgin, this book is for you and your children. Children need art, it helps them to grow, expand their mind, broaden their horizons, and it is just plain fun.

First Art is not a limited art book. This book gives you so many simple but yet creative ideas, that soon you will feel like an art expert. The art activities in this book can be done with one child or a group of children for a playdate. You will see that common items around your household, will soon become tools for your childrens art exploration. What's amazing about this book is that a child with no art experience will learn so much, themselves while experiencing the activities with their children. This book as inspired me to come up with a few unique ideas of my own.

In this book you will find art experiences that include any one or more of the following materials......


  • water
  • food coloring
  • chalk
  • coffee grounds
  • flour
  • shaving cream
  • tempera paint
  • fabric scraps
  • ziploc bags
  • tape
  • a cardboard box

....and those are just a few of the fun materials needed for the art that you will be exploring with your children!

This is a really great way to bond with your children and have some good old fashioned messy fun. Try to remember that messy fun is an important part of living life for your children.



Give art a chance!    ;)
