Thursday's pircture perfect deal...


The picture...

We have a section of yard that is all wild flowers and one of the first to open was the beautiful Wall Flowers.  I love the bright orange color in the spring and snapped this after a light rain.

The deal...

For those of you with youngsters or grandchildren this is an amazing deal from Eversave.  You can get an 11 piece Sesame Street book set geared towards children ages 2 to 6.  These are designed to help them learn numbers, colors, shapes and letters.  The books are usually $54.89, but they are marked down 51% for the next four days making them only $27.00 with free shipping.

Hope you are all having a fantastic week!

Sunday's media madness...

I love to find fellow bloggers who do amazing things!  I was blog hopping a couple of days ago and found BLYRO Books.  The author wrote the children's book Over and Under for her own daughter when she found that reading to her "precious restless toddler" was a challenge with most children's books.  The words on the pages were too long or there were simply too many of them.  The book is beautiful, the background and pictures will encourage your youngster to read along, this will help develop reading skills that will help them through their entire life.  She even made sure the type font she used would no cause confusion in young readers, like the way a "g" in type is different from the way we print it.  I am a huge advocate of reading and was thrilled to find this book for children so young, it is aimed at the 0 - 5 age range.  I am not a parent myself so when my friends and family have children I have a hard time knowing what books are best for the younger age range, this fits the bill.  As an even better bonus BLYRO is donating copies of her books to low income families, funded by sales of the book and her beautiful bookmarks.  I think that is awesome and encourage anyone who is looking for a great gift for a youngster on your holiday list to check out this gorgeous book.

Have a relaxing Sunday everyone!
