Book O’ The Day

June 5, 2008 By oh amanda

We went to storytime again today. Every week they sing the same songs (Wheels on the Bus is Lydia’s fave!) and read Chicka Chicka Boom Boom by Bill Martin Jr and John Archambault complete with hand claps and leg pats. Lydia loves it so much you’d think we were at Disney World! It’s all in [...]

Don’t Judge a Book By Its Movie

May 20, 2008 By oh amanda

I don’t remember the first time I heard the Chronicles of Narnia. Mama used to read them to us on vacation. I loved riding in the car and listening to her read about Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy. As soon as I was old enough, I began to read them. I remember being in an [...]

Is there a winner?!

November 3, 2007 By oh amanda

Well, on Shannon‘s last giveaway, I was so creative in picking a winner! (Seriously, go look. It was creative.) Today I was just going to randomize a winner. But after I did it, it was so boring, even I wasn’t interested. (I’m not going to tell you the numbers, they aren’t the real winners!) So, [...]

The Best Book in The Whole Wide World

October 26, 2007 By oh amanda

I have a thing about kids’ Bible storybooks. I think they are stupid. They are usually full of half Bible stories and no real scripture. I don’t want a storybook that makes Noah’s story about a fun boat ride with animals–when really it’s a story of God’s judgment, protection and love! When we were children’s [...]
