I love to read and write. Why not write books to read to my kids?
1. Get reading again

I’m alive, I promise! Three kids later, I’m busy as can be. Sorry. If anybody really has been hoping that I would post, sorry. And (more likely) those of you who forgot about me, I’m back.

I got an email from Nannypro.com They posted a list of 10 books to get kids reading again, and wanted to make sure I knew about it, just in case I wanted to link it or feature it here on this blog. I’m so glad they did, because it’s a great list, and I now have at least 2 new books that I want to read. Smile Go check it out, because I’m telling you- Killing Lincoln sounds like an awesome book!

As for me. I have made one more step towards publishing a book… I got out some large envelopes to mail it in. Pathetic huh? I really have a detailed plan, I just keep putting it off because I have so much more to do.

Actually, I made a book. A complete book. It’s about my Grandparent’s ancestors. And it’s awesome! I included my Grandma’s history, handwritten by her; her mother’s history (also handwritten by her,) stories, journals, trail excerpts from ancestors; and memories and pictures provided by my aunts, uncles and cousins. It was a really big project and I had a lot of help from family. And I was so happy with the way it turned out!

I’ll try to post more on here. I like it. It reminds me that I really do want to get my books published. It reminds me that I really do love reading, and my kids do too. Christopher is 4 now, and he’s getting pretty close to learning to read. He loves letters, and recognizes them everywhere. Caleb, 2, loves books too. Derek is 10 months now and likes books a lot. They taste good. Smile
