Recent Reads- Children's Books

One thing about working in a library is looking at all the books. Lately I've been making displays for the children's section, so I've been going through all the books. And every day I kept seeing all of these hilarious children's books that I just had to show Sammy. Finally I just checked a bunch out and brought them home.

To my surprise, he was delighted, and we spent the rest of the night reading these children's books to each other. 
It was so much fun! Frank the Monster Who Loved to Dance is so hilarious. While he's dancing his brain falls out, then his eyes, then his his arm, and so on. 

Larf is a Sasquatch who hears that another Sasquatch is going to be in town, and things go from there. 

Freddie and Gingersnap are a dragon and a dinosaur who teach each other to fly. Honestly, there were a few plot holes in this one, so I don't know if I'd read it again. The idea and the drawings were cute though. 

The Glow book I picked simply from the color. 

Sammy the Seal is an oooolllddd classic but I had to get it because of the title. 

The Grumpy Pets is definitely one of my favorites. The little pets faces are fantastic. 

Zen Socks is pretty long and wordy as far as kid's books go. I got tired of the story and started summarizing, only because I wanted to move onto a different book. 

The winner for best book though is Llama Llama Red Pajama. I love these series of books. That little llama is so dramatic and makes the best faces, and I just love it. The llama is in bed and wants a drink of water and his momma takes her time bringing it to her, and he gets pretty upset. I went to bed earlier than Sammy that night, and yelled the llama lines at him, and he yelled the mama lines back, and it was pretty hilarious. 

I will definitely be doing this again, and can't wait to show my future kids some of these books one day.

Fake

I feel like a lot of times when going through blogger, I'm always pushing the boundaries a bit. A lot of blogs seem to always be happy and awesome and they just won this free product from someone and it's great! And then, I'm over here in my little corner of the blogosphere wondering, hey, should I actually write about this? Is this something that you just pretend like it never happens? Am I the only one this happens to? My favorite moments are when I find someone cutting down those walls and sharing what life is actually like. That they have zits. That they don't have the perfect relationship and baby. That they've struggled with mental health. That they're secretly gross like me. (I took a quiz on buzz feed about how secretly gross are you, and I got pretty gross. In the guise of not being fake, I am sharing this fact with you all!) When I find those blog posts, I instantly feel a connection with that person and will automatically follow them on their life j...

Liebster-ing it up!

Funny story. A few days ago I was reading all the blogs I follow like I usually do. And of course I read  Jana's  blog and read about how she had won the Liebster award. I had no idea what it was, so I read her post full of fun facts, and for everyone I kept nodding my head going, I DO THAT TOO! Then today I re-read her blog, and realized that she'd nominated me for the Liebster award as well! It was a very exciting moment. Thank you! So I guess this is how it works, I think, I'm new to this whole thing. I totally just stole this off Jana's blog ;) "The Liebster Blog Award is given to bloggers by bloggers. It is a way to acknowledge each other and say 'you're doing a great job.' It is for blogs with 200 or less followers, so it's also a great way to spread the word about smaller blogs & get them more readers/ followers! When you receive the award, you post 11 random facts about yourself and answer 11 questions from the person who nominated y...

Christmas Lights

It’s funny having a baby and then trying to do things. I’ve noticed over the last year that I’ve gotten an I Can’t do that sort of attitude. We can’t do that because Aaron will cry and we’ll get cranky and so on. I’m really trying to work on that.  My anxiety out in public is much worse too. Now I have two people to protect not just myself. The library definitely changed how I look at places and I wish it hadn’t.  Sammy really wanted to go to a Christmas village downtown but I was too overwhelmed by all the logistics. So we compromised and went to one near us. It was so much fun! It was cold out but not too too bad. Aaron loves looking at the Christmas lights at our apartments, and he really loved these ones. It was so much more fun trying to look at these things through his eyes.  He was also fascinated by the mini Santa and Mrs. Clause at grandma’s house.  I’m so glad we went and can’t wait to go next year when he’s walking:)
