Maria Bailey is an inspiration to mom entrepreneurs. I highly recommend her book, Mom 3.0: Marketing With Moms, a must read for any mom running her own product business.

My fav random moment today was when my 10 year old son asked me to have his breakfast hot and ready for him after I pick him up from swim practice...and I'm not even a short order chef or caterer by profession!

I'd love to win the H17txt - I need it because I spend so much time in the car ferrying my kids while trying to multi-task, and I def. need hands free!
Thanks for the chance to win.

Oh, and Happy Birthday!
Our family's favorite birthday tradition (or at least one of them) is to set the breakfast table with special birthday china, a ring of candles, and a fresh bouquet of flowers. Each of my kids had a special perennial in our yard that blooms just around their birthday and they love watching the plants' progress as their birthdays draw near!

My favorite post of yours is the one about Top Five Tips to Build a Better Brunch. My husband's favorite meal is breakfast (or brunch), so I really appreciate the tips. We're big fans of fresh fruit as well, and I'm really looking forward to this summer with more local, in-season fruit!

This sounds like a great read for my 12 year old who is a reluctant reader. I'm looking for a good book for her to kick off her summer reading! Thanks for the chance to win an autographed copy.

Great and thoughtful article about the changing face of books, print and publishing. The diagrams and images are very helpful - my favorite part of the article is: "Goodbye disposable books. Hello new canvases."

My kids always love seeing other animal families and identifying mommy, daddy, baby. I agree with you that mother's milk is best for all babies!

Are digitally enhanced ebooks books or games? It depends on the individual application and how faithful the app stays to the original work of the book. Some apps are games that are based on characters from a book, but have nothing to do with the original book or with reading. Reading a story book on a screen is a very different experience from playing a repetitive video game on the same screen. Actually reading an ebook has the same educational, mind-opening benefits as reading a traditional print book: it increases vocabulary, improves concentration and focus, and expands horizons.

Picpocket Books has a growing list of children's picture book titles that are very faithful to the original published books that are available on iTunes: full color illustrations, full text, plus and audio track and other options, and you can take it anywhere! http://bit.ly/3MmAmb

Re: The Neighborhood Bunny

lynettemattke — Thu, 30 Jul 2009 09:38:00 -0000

My 12 year old daughter loves bunnies, and last summer she found a family that was breeding pet bunnies and letting them run loose in their yard: not a good idea in a suburban neighborhood on the corner of a busy intersection. My daughter tearfully begged to keep the bunnies, but we already have a number of pets. I admired her concern for the bunnies but we could not keep them, so we took them to a rescue organization.
Several months later, we were delighted to discover that a little brown wild bunny was frequently in our yard. It turns out he lives under our garden shed. Yes, he ate off all my croci to the ground, but I figured that is a small price to pay for having such a sweet little resident. Since I won't allow pet bunnies at this point, how nice to have a bunny that I don't have to feed or take to the vet. True, we can't cuddle him like we would a pet bunny, but there is also something so nice about knowing that we have a yard that is welcoming to wild little creatures.
