I felt silly laying in bed all by myself with a stack of read alouds and Beatrix Potter perched on my huge pregnant twin baby belly.
If someone was to ask which toy was a favorite in our home, I would be at a loss for words. Besides the basic basket of blocks, Lego's, plastic dishes and baby dolls, we had never purchased any "toys", nor do we own any forms of electronic entertainment (besides a DVD player for a weekend family movie). The most interesting and best part is that boredom was and never is an issue. The truth is, our "toys" were our books! Books were the cause and beginning of everything! They sent our child in search of hidden treasures in the back yard, foraging for medicinal herbs in the garden or engaged them in raising children of their own on the child sized rocker. Books fed the imagination and birthed all the playtime scenarios in our home. "A fondness for reading, properly directed, must be an education in itself." ~ Jane Austen, Excerpt from Mansfield Park This love of books starts in the lap of the reading parent. Besides the special time cuddling on the couch together, books are the tool for presenting the world to your little ones within the safe confines of your cozy home. Here is where they will learn that plants and animals were created by God (science), that certain parts of the world are covered with ice while other areas are full of sand (geography), that children of yesteryear spent most of their time in helping the family survive (history) and most importantly (if carefully chosen), books are also character building. "A truly good book teaches me better than to read it. I must soon lay it down, and commence living on its hint. What I began by reading, I must finish by acting." ~ Henry David Thoreau A home library can be created for pennies. Used books are often for sale at your local library, Goodwill, Salvation Army Stores and yard sales (starting as low as a quarter!). Our family would spend an hour every available Saturday loading up on these gems. Five dollars later we had a box of education and entertainment packed inside hardcover and paperback volumes. How quickly and inexpensively our home library grew! If there are specific titles that you want to purchase, Ebay.com is a wonderful place to find discounted books. Amazon is also wonderful for instant gratification and the free shipping incentive is worthy of attention (here are some of our favorite picture books). The best part about the home library is that you have hand selected (and read) each title and know that everything it contains is safe for those little souls! "Read the best books first, or you may not have a chance to read them at all." ~ Henry David Thoreau You will begin to notice a pattern when you see your child perusing the bookshelves. It all begins with the turning of the pages, a study of the illustrations and attention is paid to every detail they could muster up. Within the next few minutes, you will see they are dressed peculiarly, they are on a mission and about to forge their own trails. Today, they are Sacajawea, Daniel Boone or Paul Revere... What will they be tomorrow? What will they be in the future? That all depends on what your home library encourages... "I am a part of everything that I have read." ~ Theodore Roosevelt "Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things." ~ Philipians 4:8 "If we encounter a man of rare intellect, we should ask him what books he reads." –Ralph Waldo Emerson This post may be shared with some or all of the following link-ups: The Art of Home-Making Mondays, Modest Mom Monday's, Monday's Musings, Make Your Home Sing Monday, Good Morning Mondays, The Scoop, Titus 2sdays, Titus 2 Tuesdays, Roses of Inspiration, Tuesdays with a Twist, Raising Homemakers, Wise Woman Link Up, Homestead Blog Hop, Wow Us Wednesdays, Wildcrafting Wednesday, Coffee and Conversation, So Much at Home, Homemaking Thursdays, Home Sweet Home, Hearts for Home Thursdays, Home Acre Hop, Growing in Grace Thursdays, From the Farm Blog Hop, Farmgirl Friday, Front Porch Friday Blog Hop, Awesome Life Friday Link Up, Simply Natural Saturdays and Clever Chicks Blog Hop.

Children are not, by nature, racist. Nor are they born with damaging assumptions about people in any definable group. We all begin with a winning trust in others, an expectation that people will be good to each other, and that life with others will be safe and fun. When a child feels close to his […]

My name is Adrian Murray. I’m a dad who has been creating images with my kids and their bears for about six years now (amongst other kinds of photos).
This "I'm feeling..." emotions poster will help kids learn about their feelings. This poster features a curated collection of 12 feelings sure to resonate with children: embarrassed, sad, angry, scared, happy, hungry, shy, excited, worried, tired, frustrated, and lonely). With my background in psychology, I've test-driven other versions of this feelings chart with my own kids and neighborhood children for years. I can report that starting around age 3 kids are able to identify nearly all the emotions without parental help (and a few with help). I'm proud that these drawings feature clear facial expressions and body language to help children know what these big feelings look like and differentiate them from one another. For kids who are learning to read, the font is a legible print typeface that is used in children's books, meaning budding readers will be able to read the names of the emotions too! This feelings poster is not only decor but a learning tool too. This listing is for a custom-printed poster that will be shipped directly to you. The poster is made of durable matte (non-glossy) poster paper. It is not laminated or framed. I recommend displaying it somewhere where kids can easily refer to it. If you laminate the poster at the print shop of your choice you can even use token such as magnets with the chart to give kids the experience of literally putting their name on a feeling. :) • Sizes available: 8x10 inches, 12x16 inches, and 16x20 inches The "I'm feeling..." emotions poster is also available as downloadable printable wall art in a variety of sizes.

Photography appeared in my life a few years ago as a strong need to preserve the most precious moments in my hear. Since my Son was born, he’s been my greatest inspiration and my favorite model. His childhood is the main subject of my photos. I am trying to keep what’s hidden in an instant. His way of regarding and discovering the world, his relations with other children and animals, which fascinate him and give him strong emotions.
