Ella came home from school with some beautifully handmade hearts for me for Valentine's Day.
I really treasure those handmade gifts as I know all too soon they will be buying gifts instead of making them. They are very special when handmade.

Classical Childrens' Books
I've been really enjoying reading to the girls books from my childhood. My Mum introduced me to Milly Molly Mandy when I was about eight years old. I remember sitting on her knee beside the warm open fire during the winter listening to another chapter. We often shared a hot chocolate. Being the youngest in my family of four, I don't recall having to 'share' her knee with a sibling, which was great!
I loved the Babar series too. I wanted to be part of that family ~ they all had such exciting adventures!
What books did you enjoy as a child? Do you still have them? Have you shared them with your children?
Happy Reading!
