{i heart children's literature}

On Monday, we're kicking off a Read-a-thon at school!
We've begun inviting  "celebrities" from the community
to read their FAVORITE books to the children.

Of course, this got me
thinking about my FAVORITE children's books.
{There are SO MANY!}

When I was a child it was

partly because
I just loved having my Mom read to me.
 {And she used to call me "Sam-I-am."}

On this particular day,
however,
a sweet little field mouse
named Frederick,
has captured my heart.

Do you have a FAVORITE children's book
that has tugged at your heartstrings?

sweet girl is one!

Happy Birthday!

Yes, Sweet Girl is One!
She and her mom live with us,
so, together, we
hosted a
BIG
birthday
BASH!

The theme was
 "Olivia the Pig"
from the books
by Ian Falconer

"The OLIVIA stories describe
the antics of a very active piglet
who tests her mother's patience
by belting out songs,
drawing on walls,
dancing,
 and ...
well...
acting like a kid."


So I made piggy cupcakes,
 frou froued a bit with some boas and

 

 polka dots...
Olivia~style!



She got lots of presents!

I think this was her favorite.


She ate a little cake, of course!...


...and seemed to enjoy every minute of the party!


Happy Birthday, Sweet Olivia.
May you always know
how much
you
are
loved.
xxoo

blogging for bliss


Today is the Book Release Party of Tara Frey's book Blogging for Bliss, and it is so fun to be able to join in the celebration! Besides being beautiful, it was helpful to have handy when I had questions as I was posting for the first time.

So, thank you Tara, and continued success in all you do (a sequel, maybe?).

Thank you ArtsyMama for the cupcake and invitation to the party,

and a VERY SPECIAL THANK YOU to those who stopped by my brand new blog...

Truly, my friends, Sweet Bliss is checking in and finding your very first comments from encouraging new friends! I can't tell you how much it means to me...but then, you know...I'm so glad I decided to join this happy blogworld!
