Want to know a secrets to my happy summer? Read on...
As we are officially over the hump of this school-less season, I am happy to report that my kids have been busy with what, in my mind, summer is all about: running around (mostly in their underwear) pretending to be ninjas, stray dogs, orphaned siblings, and paramedics; making things like melting bead unicorns and pom pom sling shots; and setting up regular "sales" in our front yard, where they pedal everything from stickered postcards, to objects collected from our neighbor's own yards!
Check out the unicorn ninja wear - all crafted by Ella herself :)
Ninja mom is in charge of weapons!
Every day the younger ones go down for a nap and the older ones read (with or without me). Every now and then, I get them a super special activity book to keep them occupied. They freak out over these and it gives me a chance to sneak a nap in on my day off!
Their favorites are usually dress up sticker books - and there are some brilliant ones published by USBORNE. My Kids (and I) absolutely love them! USBORNE makes loads of other fun books too. They're always high quality (can stand up to my two year old and actually last long enough to be passed down), interesting, and fun. They range from picture books to information (lift the flap facts!) and activity books and hold the interest of ALL of my children at once.
This month, I'm excited to say we've partnered with Rachel of Read On Club (an independant consultant for USBORNE) for our Kids Club VIP giveaway. The good news is, we're also doing an awesome giveaway for anyone (and everyone) to enter...
Win a collection of Usborne "Shine-A-Light Books!" (worth $135!!). These books have hidden images that can only be seen when the page is illuminated - held up to the light from a window or flashlight (check out the video here). When Atticus (my oldest son) saw these giveaway books on our photo table he got out a piece of paper and began his Christmas list on the spot. They are SO SO cool!
Get some Usborne love...

The last link wouldn’t work for me. I shared it on my Facebook page and then when it rerouted me back here, it doesn’t show up as an entry. I tried it several times. When I went to my Facebook page, the link was there…several times. I took a screen shot of my page to prove it. What am I doing wrong?
