Leah shares, "Recently, our oldest son began asking about the Harry Potter series of books, and thinking it over, I decided that he's ready. I know the timing is different for every kid, so I didn't take this lightly. Fantasy fiction is one of my very favorite genres of literature - so needless to say, I'm enjoying our nightly reading times just as much {maybe even more!} than he is. There's something about sharing our personal loves with our children and passing them on to see their own wonder as they discover them..."

"I recently came across something similar while browsing (or, should I say, running down the aisles with the kids?) at Target, and thought it was really, really clever! I couldn't find any samples, and since I didn't grab a pic, I opened up photoshop to plan out this little piece. Once I played around on the computer, putting it together was really quick!"

Thanks for stopping by and leaving your sweet comments every day! See you back here again on Monday!
