I love hearing all that you managed to do over a weekend. I find it inspiring. I also appreciate the honesty regarding the not so shiny moments when toddlers decide they are “done”

I see your life as being so hectic, and you’d probably see mine as super boring! 🙂

@Erin – thanks! I’m having a lot of fun writing these. Two lines a day is doable and over the year I’ve been learning about what makes a better sonnet…

@Allison – ooh, I hadn’t seen that one. I’ll have to check it out to maybe add to our Christmas library!

A Christmas favorite is “Mortimer’s Christmas Manger.” My 6 year old noted that “Mortimer looks a lot like Mouse from the Bear books,” and indeed, the illustrator is the same 🙂
