In My Backyard

Welcome to my backyard.  Pull up a chair, the maple leaves are red as rubies, the air is brisk and I have a warm cup of tea for you to sip....

I love to blog about all my little moments, things I do, thing I'd like to do.  Things I will never do. Always things.

I do swear a bit.  It was how I was raised.  I am trying to swear less, first around the kids then on my blog.  It all takes time and a lot of my swearing gets vented here.  You have been warned. 

I love to hear your thoughts and ideas in my comment section but keep it fair and respectful or I will have to delete.


I do the occasional review with the guidelines that it enriches my life and my children's life.  I specialize in mass media reviews, books for children and adults as well as T.V. and movies.
 I will also help in your journey to help others.  I love to help companies, fellow bloggers or just everyday people who work hard to make this world a better place.  If you want to chat further you can reach me here.
If I do receive an item from a company I will be honest about it.
All book reviews that are starred are based on a 5 star rating.

Companies I work for/with
The Penguin Group
Energizer with the Susan G. Komen Fondation
PBS Kids
Universal Studios Family Production
SourceBooks
Lifetime TV

I make no money as of right now, this is more a passion and a hobby.
I do have a shop set up with Barefoot Books, if you click on the ad and buy a book I get a % of the book you purchased.  I love children's books and this feeds the habit.
The "Little Animation" button is not an ad, it is just a great site for kids.
The Amazon book links are books that I enjoy, or reviewed and enjoyed, and thought you might too.  Again if you click on the links and purchase a book I get a (very) small %.



That is all, for now.
Remember...
No matter where you are going or where you have been, there is no place like home.
