This morning I logged onto Blogger to discover that I was awarded another award. This is very special award because it acknowledges the kindness and spirit of blogging. Thanks to Wrighty for bestowing this award on me. If you haven’t checked out her blog then I suggest you check it out. She has a great blog.

A new look

Posted on by Cindy



Well this past Friday I was tired of the way my hair was looking so I went and had it cut. I gave the hairdresser carte blanc to do what she wanted. I have to admit I had the Great Hair book with me and I showed her three styles I liked so she took it from there and this is the look I ended up with. I wasnt’ sure at first but after a few hours I decided that I liked it. So what do you think?

The Very Hungry Caterpillar is 40 Years old

Posted on by Cindy


This year marks the 40th anniversary of The Very Hungry Caterpillar, which was published in 1969 and in honor of the 40th anniversary of Eric Carle’s much beloved children’s book, today has been deemed “The Very Hungry Caterpillar” Day.

This was something special that Eric Carle did for Google.

We love Eric Carle books. He is a great childrens author with about 70 books to his name. One of my son’s favorites is The Very Hungry Caterpillar. Eric’s books are the best they always have an educational element to the books which makes learning fun for kids. The illustrations are bright and colorful.

You can check out The Penguin Group for my great things. There is a video of Eric on the site.

Here is the offical Eric Carle Website

Happy Anniversary The Very Hungry Caterpillar and Happy 80th Birthday wishes to Eric Carle. May you continue to write many more great children books.

Spring MySpace Comments and Graphics

Comments – Graphics – Layouts – Photobucket

Finally its the first day of Spring. If you are anything like me you don’t like winter. I always find it long and very cold. This past winter it was all that long, cold, snowy and miserable. So now that the warmer weather is coming I am craving the spring like weather. Happy First Day of Spring everyone!

The Books In My Home Part 1

Posted on by Cindy




During a recent lunch meet up with a Donna we were talking about books in our home. Mainly our to be read piles. I admit I have a ton in my TBR pile. That post will come sometime soon.

But I thought I would share with you pics of Michael’s bookcases. He has alot of books for a 5 year old doesn’t he?

Picture one is his bookcase that is in the living room. The top shelf is all his board books. Second shelf is assorted books from The Backyardigans, Dora, Thomas the train etc. The third shelf is the bigger books and his collection of chirp and nick jr magazines.

Picture two is his book case in his bedroom and that is a mixture of all kinds of books. Some of it is stuff that is a little too old for him right now and some baby books.

Picture three is a shelf in his closet and that is a few books he isn’t ready for yet and a few baby books.

Picture four is a picture of Michael’s night stand with is pile of books. These are his favorite books he likes to read right now. Also as you can see in this picture what I did to Michael’s bedroom over the xmas holiday. Its in the cars theme. Once his room is completely done I will share the pictures with you.

I am wondering if other parents keep their kids baby books? I know Michael doesn’t want to part with them yet.

If you click on the pictures you can see them close up.
