Winner Announcement

My first giveaway here ended last night.   The two winners of the giveaway were Kristy of Hopeful Threads and Kim of Home Is Where the Heart Is Academy.  I really hope both families enjoy their books as much as Elliott enjoyed offering them!

We're already coming up with ideas for our next giveaway!  Thanks to everyone for entering and sharing about our giveaway.

Giveaway Reminder

I just thought I would post a quick reminder that I have a giveaway ending next week here.  There aren't many entries right now, and lots of different ways to get entries, so your chances of winning are high.

There are some great books you can choose from if you win the giveaway.  We've read most of them, and really enjoyed them.  If this giveaway goes well, we will be doing some more, so help me make this one successful! :)

Back to School Giveaway

Elliott and I have spent the last 2 or 3 weeks finalizing our list of must reads for school this year.  We ended up coming up with 20 books that we will read for sure this year.  We read together for about 30-45 minutes every day, and I read to him for another 15-20 minutes during snack time.  He also reads to me most days of the week.  So 20 will almost certainly not be enough books to last all school year, but I think it's a good start.  Plus it gives us the opportunity to watch for more must reads as we learn about different things.

In honor of school starting, and preparing our own book lists, Elliott and I decided to do a book giveaway of our own!  All the books will be brand new scholastic books.  There will be two random winners, and each winner will get to pick the prize pack of their choice.
