National Evaluate Your Life Day...

Who knew there was a specific day for sitting down and evaluating your life?  I didn't!  Here is a fun title that might provide a bit of insight...

Life of Riley
"Human beings live for quite a long time and for a lot of that time we are not happy. We want to be taller, shorter, fatter, thinner, older and younger. We want our straight hair to be curly, our curly hair to be straight and our brown eyes to be blue. We hate our parents, children, teachers, students and everybody. We want to be somewhere else with someone else, eating something else and wearing something fantastic no one else can afford, and we want to splash them as we drive by in our big red car.

Rats live for quite a short time and for most of that time they are very, very happy...

This laugh-out-loud picture book will appeal to people - and rats - of all ages. A truly unique picture book by Thompson and Lissiat presents life lessons with gentle humor and satire."

The 2011 Elizabeth Experience...

Cherished Memories!
Just a little over a year ago, Natasha and Jody Trompler lost their sweet 24-day-old baby girl, Elizabeth, because of a condition called Trisomy 13.  The Tromplers were blessed by an organization called Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep, who came in and took beautiful photos of their family while Elizabeth was with them so that they could cherish those memories for the rest of their lives.  NILMDTS is an amazing organization, and you should definitely check out their story - but be warned, you will need a box of tissue.  The Tromplers have created The 2011 Elizabeth Experience in honor of the memory of their sweet princess, but also to help raise money and awareness for NILMDTS.  There are two parts to the Experience.  

First, there will be a Shopping Extravaganza coming up THIS Saturday, October 15th.  It will be held in Lewisville at 201 Anna Avenue, in the Trompler's community clubhouse.  There will be 12 vendors set up including Thirty-One Gifts, AdvoCare, Rodan + Fields, Discovery Toys, Usborne Books & More!  This is a great way to get started (or finished!) on your Christmas shopping, but also know that you're supporting a wonderful cause because most (if not ALL!) of the vendors are donating their commissions and sales to Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep!  We hope to raise a lot of money for this organization, what they do is so special!

The second part of the Experience is a silent auction.  You will be able to find out more about that on the fb page.

Country Day on the Hill was Great!

Thanks to everyone who stopped by the Usborne Books & More booth today at Country Day on the Hill in Cedar Hill, Texas.  My team and I had a great time getting to meet you and show you our wonderful books.  The kids especially seemed to enjoy their stickers and bookmarks - and most of all: the books!  

There were some really neat booths out there today... all kinds of handmade items, kid's stuff, food and more, plus there was a parade and lots of live music as well!  What a fun time!  We are already looking forward to being part of this event again next year!
