Blogging on the Brain

I know I've been quiet here recently. It's because I've been working on some new blogs. I'm totally bitten by the writing bug. Everything I do, I think, "Hmmm, that might make a good blog post." I need to start carrying around a notebook to jot down all my ideas.

I'd love it if you visit (and subscribe!) my other blogs. Each one is a bit more specialized, as opposed this one, which is kind of a mish-mash. I'd love to hear your feedback. What you'd like to see on each blog. Suggestions of topics, etc.

To make life easier, here are the links:

  • Cup of Creativi-Tea: I'm sharing all things creative, whethere it's cooking, sewing, or kid crafts. Maybe some bellydancing (that's creative!). I'm also adding lots of tutorials.
  • I'm Not the Nanny: Parenting stories, with some musings about raising biracial kids in a racially conscious world
  • Laugh in Bed: Intimacy and relationships. Maybe some sex.

I'll still post here occassionally until I get the other ones established! Thanks for reading!

Sleeping Beauty with an Attitude

We have the best library system ever in on Montgomery County. Amazon recommended Waking Beauty by Leah Wilcox on my front page a few days ago. Lo and behold, I spotted it at my local branch! This is a non-traditional princess book that adults and children will enjoy.

It's written in rhyme and has fun illustrations. I'm a sucker for a well illustrated book. The princess discovers Sleeping Beauty because her snoring has bothered the kingdom for many years. The fairies try hard to tell how to wake her up, but of course he doesn't listen. He tries many hilarious ways of waking her up. My favorite part is what Sleeping Beauty does after he gives her the wake-up kiss.

It definitely wins the Sophia seal of approval. Leah Wilcox has another one, Falling For Rapunzel, not available at the library yet. But I'm sure I'll see it there soon.

Currently the book we're reading every day isn't a princess book (thank god!), but David Shannon's A Bad Case of Stripes & Pinkalicious by Victoria & Elizabeth Kann. Something about kids changing colors amuses Sophia to no end. I have to admit, even though I don't like pink, Pinkalicious is pretty funny. Both of these have great messages too: Be true to yourself because you are beautiful.
