Adding books to ourlibraries! #RaisingAReader @sterlingbooks #Review

Those that know me, know I love to read.  I have always hoped that my kids would love to read as much as I do. Broxton used to, but the older he gets, the more he tries to fight it (GOING ON AS I TYPE THIS NOW!!!!)    Savannah loves it and it makes this mama heart happy when she spots a book and says "Mama, can I read this to you?"  I try to make it a point to have books in each room of our house. We are always adding more books to our home library and have now started working on getting Little Free Libraries around town, first up Albany ENT in Albany, Georgia.  (Remember, we started with one at the Harley Dealership in Lithia Springs, Georgia)

A few books we have added to our home library this year are listed below.

KOALA IS NOT A BEAR

By Kristin L. Gray (Author), Rachel McAlister (Illustrator)

Where does Koala belong? Find out, in this sweet story of friendship and family—with fun facts about marsupials thrown in.
 
It's Koala's first day at camp, and she thinks she's found her place in the Bear Cabin—until know-it-all Kangaroo comes along and tells Koala in no uncertain terms that she is not a bear. Koala points out all the ways in which she resembles her new friend, Grizzly, but Kangaroo just isn't buying it. As Koala tries to find her place, alert readers will recognize clues about where Koala belongs. Using humor and fun illustrations, this engaging story will reel kids in and leave them with a satisfying ending.

Top Ten Extended Family Funny Movies

To kick off the release of Parental Guidance on March 26, 2013...  Here is a list of Ten Funny Extended Family Movies... Be it holidays or reunions, there is bound to be a laugh or two!!!! 10. 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

Just in time for Halloween!!!! Join in the fun with a double play of cute movies! If you are having a Halloween Party or just want to get into the "spirit" of it all... You will love this! We were sent the Dreamworks Party Pack for review and Broxton was so excited. Not only did we receive the movies for review, we also enjoyed the Halloween Pack that was included!!!! We enjoyed: Shrek Candy, Shrek Trick or Treat Bucket, Shrek Hands and Ears and Popcorn. See how cute the candy is? Ha ha! Look at their names! Daddy feeding Broxton the "swamp slugs" with the Shrek Hands! We (the older boys, my parents, Marc and I)love the Shrek movies, so I thought Broxton would like this Halloween take on it... Not so much. He was scared by it. The movie has Shrek and his buddies go to an old abandoned place and tell scary stories to see who is the bravest one there. I laughed, but Broxton wasn't having it... He ended up playing with his toys while I watched it, but
