Children's Book List II

My first post on children's books singled out the publisher Usbourne. They are great. We have other favorites as well.

A few favorites for a child under two:





My Farm Friends
We live on the family farm and she gets to see several of these animals on a daily basis. I love the facts and realistic representations. 





Little Owl's Night
We enjoy this bedtime book. Such a fun take on how when the day begins it is little owl's bedtime.





Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What do you See?
My gal has loved this book from the beginning and still enjoys reading it. Now she has it memorized somewhat and helps me with reading it. My husband is not a fan of the fanciful colors for a few of the animals. Lets face it lots of animals are brown and that would get boring.





Little Blue Truck
My husband loves this book. I love this book. I hope my gal does lol. This has about everything I need in a children's book: rhythm, fun, and a good moral. I enjoy the other Little Blue Truck books as well.





Golden Books
Mimi enjoyed her father reading books to her as a little girl and buys my gal golden books every Easter. If you ask my gal, "What is a baby swan called?" she will say "cygnet" thanks to the Baby Farm Animal book. We also have Fuzzy Duckling.





Roar
A little odd but my gal loves making the animal noises and sticking her hand in the middle.







Dr. Seuss
We can't forget the doctor. I didnt read much Dr. Seuss growing up <Gasp>. My husband sure did. Thankfully my mother in law kept all their books and we get to enjoy reading them to our gal. The current favorite is Dr. Seuss's ABC. I am button popping proud that I have this entire book memorized. Little gal can almost say Fiffer Feffer Feff. That is talent.


What are your under two year old's favorites?

Essential Oil Diffuser Necklace

Image
I am a soap maker who uses essential oils. Ive been looking for new items to make and sell at craft shows. When browsing Pinterest one day I found DIY diffuser necklaces. I knew that my customer base prefers all natural items. I found it hard to find clay that was truly all natural. Thankfully another blogger found DAS Air Hardening Clay. After I  received shipment I tested my first batch of pendants. I soon realized they must not be too thin. Several failed to stand up to minor pressure after drying was complete. Here is my fist attempt. I wore it with lavender during the work day. My coworker could smell me and it was strong enough without being overpowering. Very nice to enjoy a calming scent all day. The remaining clay has stayed soft for over a month stored in an air tight plastic bag. I will be making more clay pendants tonight.

Choices Day 2

Today I am giving up donuts and little debbie type snacks. Sadly this is another bad daily habit. Im sure I will see noticeable results dropping these items from daily consumption. Working next to a grocery store is a big part of why this is an ongoing battle. I have managed to avoid delicious donuts in the office break room. Small victories. I am switching to fiber one bars. Overtime I would like to go to something different but going from a 300+ calorie snack down to 140-150 calorie snack is an improvement. Stopping: Day 1: Drinks with sugar. (Current exception is creamer). Day 2: Donuts & little debbie type snacks.

Baby Eczema

Image
My sweet gal broke into a large rash at 5 months old. We took her into the pediatrician to discover she had very dry skin. All the extra baths during the hot humid summer dried her out. We started trying eczema creams. I bought Aveeno and Eucerin brand. Aveeno brand baby eczema cream felt like a slightly thicker lotion and did little to conquer the extremly dry skin. My daughter is sensitive like me so I had been rooting for Aveeno. Then I tried the Eucerin brand baby eczema cream and was very pleased. Thick and not as greasy as I feared. Her skin began to heal with twice per day applications. We also cut baths down to 2-3 times per week.  motherhenandchickar .blogspot.com   Fast forward to my now 23 month old during the winter months. She started to get dry again so I have been putting the Eucerin eczema baby cream on every night with pjs. Her skin has completely healed in a week. We have only given her baths 2-3 times per week since she was five months old. Unless she nee
