Bedtime Story
Did you have a favourite bedtime book or series that you loved when you were little?
When I was little my mother bought me the entire Looney Tunes series. Every night I would make her read me at least 2-4 books, and when the series was complete; again she would start. Those nights are some of my fondest memories growing up laying in bed as my mother read to me. When my father read to me he would do the voices for each character, and that really made bedtime stories come alive for me.
Many of us have fond memories of our parents telling bedtime stories. Children love stories and they usually look forward to bedtime stories every day. You can share quality time with your child if you make bedtime stories a part of your daily life.
Have an Adventurous day!

Friendship
I want to take the time today to talk about friendship. You can find friendship in many ways, from individuals you grew up with; to new people you meet along the way in life. You never know where that friendship will take you, the doors it will open, or the possibilities it will create. Friendship is something vital to one’s life, we we’re all created with this need to be around people, to associate, to love. Sometimes you do not know always know your true potential, sometimes it’s revealed through friendship. The bonds that have been created, and sadly sometimes even bonds that have been broken. Friendship can help you to grow, experience things in a new way, new understandings. Friendship isn’t limited to people you’ve known your entire life. Nor is bound by age, race, and creed; friendship is founded upon diversity, or at least it should be.
It’s interesting; people often say “I have X-amount of friends on Twitter, FaceBook, and let’s not forget Instagram!” How many of these “friends” are ones that you would truly call “MY FRIENDS!” Chances are just a handful at best. I can honestly say I have such friends that I have met on Twitter, and have on FaceBook too. A friendship built on diversity, a friendship that has even crossed the Pond! A friendship that shares a common goal, interest and desire! A friendship that I am most grateful for! A friendship that believes in supporting, helping, and encouraging one another; we started off as individuals with one goal, promote children’s literacy. Through this shared goal we came together, united in our purpose, in one purpose. If even one child, just ONE CHILD picks a book and enjoys it, and wants to keep reading, then we’ve accomplished what it is that we set out to do.
This is a new friendship we have, but it is a friendship that I treasure and never wish it to part. I want to thank all of my new friends for everything that they have done, in the ways that they have encouraged me. I hope that I have been able to give them just a fraction of what they have given me.
Furthermore, I hope everyone reading this takes away the importance or friendship, and seeks it out in their own life. Never forsaking the importance of friendship; never allowing diversity of any kind, to interfere in friendship. Each friendship is special and unique in its own way; I know ours is, and I wouldn’t trade it in! We are small but mighty group of Kid Lit Authors made up of Peeps, a Sleuthing almost eight year old detective, a lovable wolf pup name Lobo, a few gnomes to liven up the bunch. Some adorable owls a chubby brown bear full of moxie; along with so many other kinds of magic, mystery and adventure. So thank you Karen, Jamie, Kristen, C.L, Rhonda, Geena, Jill, Sue, Mrs D and Steve, MY FRIENDS!
Sail away in an adventure today, and
make some friends along the way!

Guest Blog by Karen Emma Hall
Hello Everyone and a Happy Monday!
I wanted to share with everyone my latest guest blogger Karen Emma Hall. She is an amazing writing and illustrator out of the UK, who also happens to be a dear friend of mine too boot! Karen is also the founder of Facebook page, Kid Literature Authors (KLA). If you haven’t checked that out yet don’t worry, I’ll give you a link to it.
‘You may know a child who picks the same book over and over again.’ Have you ever stopped and asked why? Why do they always gravitate to the same ones over and over again? Well Karen address this, and goes into it further explanations of not only why, but also the importance of reading to our young children.
The blog I invite you all to check is entitled ‘Let’s start from the beginning. Picture Book Love. ‘Check it out for yourself! I know you will love it as much as I did! http://ablogforyourthoughts.com/
Happy Reading!
