shchlepping my goods

A few people have asked me about the randomly changing banners at the top of the blog. As my brother put it, I'm "schlepping" my books - Barefoot Books. I sell them as a very part-time side gig, mostly because my kiddos love the books and I get a load of them for "schlepping" them to you people. :) I do adore the books - they're the kind you'll keep for generations to come. So, I can't help but assume that you will adore them, too. Hence, the randomly changing banners at the top of the page.

From now until the new year, Barefoot's offering weekly deals - and they've got some amazing things happening right now - from partnering with PBS Parents, to giving books to kids in Africa. (Have I mentioned how cool this publishing company is?) I'll promote the weekly deal at the top of this page. If you click on the banner, it will take you to my site, where you can order books, and I will get a small commission from your order.

They're beautiful gifts if you have, know, or are semi-related to any kids and want to give them something for the holidays.

And, for a quick peek into what book is currently holding my kids' attention - especially Maren's...


It comes with a story CD, which is read by Miranda Richardson... (you may know her as Rita Skeepter in Harry Potter.. or is that just me?) - her reading is so fabulous, Maren's listening to it every night as she goes to bed. Perfect for winter nights.

Thank you - you have been officially schlepped at.
