Family Read-Aloud
Celebrate Family Read-Aloud by picking up a packet at any Timberland library, beginning on Dr. Seuss's birthday (March 2) and ending on Drop Everything and Read Day (April 12). Read every day as a family, and put a sticker in a room on the printed house (included in the packet) where you read -- the idea is to read all over the house. Keep track of the books you read, and you'll be eligible to win a suitcase full of Scholastic books and other book prizes. Entries must be received by a Timberland library staff member by closing time on Saturday, April 11.

Kid Friendly: Paula Deen's Cookbook For The Lunchbox Set
I borrowed this cookbook from the library. It is a great little cookbook! The recipes are simple and organized in an easy to read manner. If your little one(s) are anything like mine, they will be thrilled to help Mom out in the kitchen. Paula includes photos of the ingredients and utensils that will be used. Fab idea for the kiddos that cannot read yet! I am definitely going to pick one of these up.

A Splash of Orange for Your Next Party
Photo Courtesy of HWTM Blog
I'm not really an orange kind of girl, but I found these orange decor pieces delightful. This color palette would be perfect for a baby shower if the Mom To Be is not for pink or blue or an Orange Bowl party for the football fanatics out there! The turquoise accent tops it off.
