Cinderella




I really appreciate how Cinderella has been getting a lot more love lately. In recent years she has been bashed for being so dependent on everyone else to get herself out of her bad situation. Recently, however, I read an article praising her for making the best out of a terribly abusive situation, and I love that perspective. Cinderella had very few resources or choices, and she definitely was mistreated, but she was always positive and made the best out her circumstances. We can definitely learn from her!

Books for Aspiring CHEFS!

If your little one wants to be a chef, or just plain loves to cook, this book list is for you! Right now my 3 year old, E, is very into cooking! She loves saying "I can help!" She'll do anything you let her do, from helping to hold a mixer, to measuring and pouring an ingredient into a bowl. These are great opportunities to teach her about the world and people around her, as well as how to actually cook. But if your kid is anything like mine, she would much rather read about it than have me "lecture" her. I won't pretend that I've actually read any of these books, but if I were going to buy books about cooking or being a chef, these would be them! Cooking Class: 57 Fun Recipes Kids Will Love to Make (and Eat!) This book is recommended for ages 6-12. It has recipes for a variety of skill levels: some require simple cooking, such as boiling, but many of the recipes need no cooking at all. There are many simple recipes that I think...

What We're Reading ~ One Sheep, Blue Sheep

This book is one that both my three year old AND my one year old love! E likes it because she gets to laugh at the silly sheep and say "Kerplunk!" and "Splat!" along with the book. C loves it mainly because of the holes in the pages and how she can grab them and turn the pages and look through. Plus, she loves sheep and says "Baa!" throughout the book. Not only do my kids love this book, but I love it too! The verses in the book are so catchy, and it's just plain fun to read out loud. The book has five silly sheep who get covered in different colors of paint in a variety of silly ways, The kids get to learn colors, and the pictures depict a variety of farm chores, so you can talk about those too if you want. Great board book! Definitely one of our most-read books!

What We're Reading ~ The Way of Kings

Let me preface this by saying that I am a HUGE Brandon Sanderson fan! I don't think I've met a single one of his books that I haven't liked. If you're looking for a fantasy author who keeps things clean, Sanderson is your guy! I can rest easy knowing that if my kids ever pick up a Sanderson book, they'll never run across anything explicit. This series is called The Stormlight Archive, and the style of this series is called epic fantasy. It is meant to be high fantasy, and so the books are long, and the series is longer! The point of view jumps from character to character, and there are lots of characters. One thing you need to know about Sanderson's writing in this series is that each book begins with introductory chapters before jumping in with the main character. So, if you're confused with the first chapter or three, hang on, things will settle down. He also has short "interludes" between parts of the book, with characters you probably ha...
