rumpus

Books, books, books; I love books!  Saturday gone saw me and my childers romping in a riotous rumpus, all in the name of books!  Cradle Fables hosted a wonderful morning tea for children, inspired by the much loved book, Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak.  The morning had the feel of a good old fashioned Sunday school picnic filled with games, craft, food and, of course, a story reading.

My passion for children’s books has led me to get behind this exciting new publisher. Cradle Fables Publishing is focused on imaginative picture books especially for children under 5 years of age. You can read Kirsty Stewart’s inspiring story about the birth of Cradle Fables here.  So get behind this woman whose passion for children and books combined will, I’m sure, bring many treasured tales to life.

My eldest daughter turned 8 the other day. She recieved many beautiful presents, but this one was worth blogging about. It is a garden kit complete with:

* spade
* cute knelling board
* flower seeds (Johnny Jump-Up is easy to grow)
* plastic pot
* gardening gloves

It is a gift that keeps on giving. The initial opening, the planting and watching it grow. My daughter and I had the opportunity to learn a bit more about how plants grow.
