A birthday and a new feature!

July 18, 2009 by arynsmom

I just realized that my blog is a year old! Happy birthday Blog!

I haven’t been the best blogger, but at least I’ve tried and there is room for improvement!

With that in mind, I am launching a new feature on More Days Like This. I’d like to have some terrific, inviting, name for it but it just isn’t coming to me. I welcome any ideas! Anyway – on to the new (hopefully) weekly feature.

I love children’s literature! Love it! And it’s not just because I have children! If I my druthers it’s all I would read. My ideal job would be either a children’s librarian or an early elementary school teacher. If only I had been wiser when I was in college and could have seen into the future. This love of children’s books has led me to so many wonderful authors whose books have become great favorites of me and my children! So the plan is to feature one of these many authors each week and maybe give others some ideas when it comes to great reading material for them and their children.

If anyone has a favorite children’s author that they think I should feature – just let me know! I will begin this feature on Monday!

Now to end todays post with some photos taken over the last month and a half!

end of june through july 10th 038 Meet Bob. Okay so Bob looks more like a Barbara, but Zoe constructed Bob out of sticks, duct tape, a milk jug and leftover odds and ends from our yard sale, like that bright pink Hello Kitty t-shirt and the Hannah Montana wig! It stands proudly in the midst of our pumpkin/gourd patch, right in front of the green beans! end of june through july 10th 036
