As many of you know, I love reading and love sharing the gift of books with Broxton.  I think books are great and are a great way to escape, explore and imagine!   We love reading together and we were lucky enough to be chosen to help with the release of the movie, The Book Of Life, in celebrating National Reading Day on January 23rd. 
 
What does it mean to celebrate National Reading Day?
Well, for us, we had a friend meet us and he and Broxton worked on making their own Book of Life Books! 
We were sent a great assortment of products from the Book of Life, including a sketch pad, crayons, color pencils, stencils, rulers, stickers and even book bags!  Another awesome thing...  Pinhole Press sent along cute note pads (I gave one to a friend and then kept one for me!)  as well as gift codes for us to make our own professional Book Of Life Photo books!!!
If you follow me on Instagram, you might have already seen the photos below, but I just love them and wanted to share for those not on Instagram!  
 
 
 
 
With the release of The Book of Life coming up so soon, and today being National Reading Day, we got to thinking about how important reading is and always will be! It is one of the best hobbies around, and easily the most timeless. Whether you enjoy skimming through the newspaper, or curling up with a good book, reading might be one of the best things you do for yourself and your children! It fosters great imagination and also lets you get in some quality time with your little ones! So pick out a nice book for you, one for your kids, and start turning those pages! Below is a list of some of our favorite children’s books!
If You Give A Mouse A Cookie
Ruby The Copy Cat
The Little Mouse, The Red-Ripe Strawberry and The Big Hungry Bear 
Are You My Mother?
The Cat In The Hat 
 
What are some of your favorite books?
Broxton is currently enjoying reading the Biscuit books at school and of course we have started reading a few Paddington books too!  I loved Amelia Bedelia books and the Baby Sitter Club books! 
Don't wait for a National Reading Day event to enjoy the love of reading and sharing books with your child!   Make it a movie night soon, watch the Book Of Life and then head to the library to grab a few books to enjoy as a family!

The Great Outdoors The Craigs and the Ripleys couldn’t be more different! The Craigs’ patriarch is know-it-all investment banker Roman Craig (Dan Akyroyd) and fun-loving Chester (John Candy), better known as “Chet,” sits at the helm of the Ripley clan.  When the Ripleys decide to explore the great outdoors on vacation and are spontaneously joined by the Craigs, hilarity follows. 9. Dark Shadows Although there is no shortage of places to lay the blame for the drama within the Collins family, the most recent addition to the clan, Barnabas (Johnny Depp), is largely responsible for the family’s misfortune. He manages to bring the brood’s dysfunction to a boil in this enjoyable remake, when he rejoins the family after a 196-year absence and lengthy stay in a coffin following his torr
