Rock and Reading

Rock loves to read!

He reads everywhere...
   in the bathroom
     in the kitchen
       in the living room
         in the bedroom
Anywhere he finds a book, magazine, or even mail - he must have it!


It doesn't matter what the book is or what it is about.. it catches his attention (at least for a little bit.) Just the other day Rock found a book and brought it to dada at the computer. Its adorable how he brings books to us and "helps" us turn the pages.

I love that he has a love for books so early!

Here is dada reading The Similarion by Tolkien to Rock:

 Taken early october - see how he is glued to the pages :)

Hopefully his love for reading will never fade away.

It is to be with him, and he is to read it

all the days of his life

so that he may learn to revere the LORD his God and

follow carefully all the words of this law and these decrees

Deuteronomy 17:19 (NIV)

Wordless Wednesday: Line Dry

Cleanse me with hyssop, and I will be clean;

wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.

Hide your face from my sins

and blot out all my iniquity.

Psalm 51:7, 9 (NIV)

I won!

In the past several months I have been entering giveaways like crazy: on blogs and facebook. So for all my hard work I have won several items that I would like to share with you. I haven't received some of them (recent wins) but here is a photo of some of what I have won and a list of where I won each item:

At 1+1+1=1 I won 2 cds from Songs for Saplings (originally only for one cd)

Dibs! I won a prize pack including: VeryChicBaby bamboo wipes, BabyEcoMart- Happy Heiny's training pant, and RubyMoon Cloth diaper detergent sample (already used up of course)

From Confessions of a Trophy Wife 3 sets of Mason's Eco Mom cloth nursing pads (not pictured because one set is dirty and I misplaced the other two sets)

At The Cloth Diaper Report  I received a Pooter's Hemp/Cotton OS Fitted Diaper (which I still haven't tried... maybe i will later today)

At Mama to 3 (now 4) Blessings I won twice! Once for The Eli Monster Cowboy Diaper Cover; then again for a Sprout Change reversible One Size in Chili Pepper... yay for fluffy wins!

Frugality is Free sent me a Baby Balboa shopping cart cover... which I love to use when we go shopping. It is pictured folded up purse size which makes it so easy to carry.

At A Mom's Take I received a 4moms cleanwater bath (i didn't keep this item because we wouldn't use it- Rock likes the regular tub - so I gave it away, too)

3 am Cloth Diapers had a WAHM event in which I won a Cow Patties Cloth Diapers Famous Pocket Fitted  "Mellow Out"- I love the absorbency of this diaper and it fits well under the Eli Monster cover :)  I also have some AI2 and Pocket camo diapers from Cow Patties (Meg has great customer service!)

From Arizona Mama I got a Pump It Up Party bag (not pictured - will more than likely give away the items - toys and parts for bigger, non-baby, kids)

I won a White Elephant photo contest for most creative "beg" for a wool cover :)

I've entered many giveaways at Biehl Adventures  and won one sponsored by Top to Bottom Baby Boutique for a $20 GC to http://www.ttbbb.com/ (still waiting for the system to work correctly for the GC though)

At Go Shop Momma I won a Bum Genius 4.0 sponsored by Teeny Tiny Tot Shop (still in the mail)

Cici's Customz had a fan drawing and drew my name so I received a cute Custom Diaper Case (with monkeys and camo!)

I recently won at the Diapeze Fan Celebration a Mama Necklace from Belle Fille Boutique (just shipped today)

And was just emailed today that I won the Charis Designs (which I blogged to enter) Diaper Cover

One of the giveaways I won that can't recall where it was from was for a GC to Amazon with which I bought the Fuzzibunz

And I believe that is it (17 giveaways total won).... except if I keep winning :) 

Hubby says he believes I could win the rest of our cloth diaper stash... so I will keep trying!

Let love and faithfulness never leave you;

bind them around your neck,

write them on the tablet of your heart.

Then you will win favor and a good name

in the sight of God and man.

Proverbs 3:3, 4 (NIV)
