Johnson's Baby Bedtime® Lotion
Johnsons bedtime baby lotion is such a calming gentle scented lotion to help calm babies. I loved the smell of this and even used it myself a few times.

I absolutely love Goodreads. I use it every single day. I add books that I have read and write reviews on them and I read other peoples reviews of books on their book shelves. Sometimes if I am interested in a book I will check out the reviews to see if it is something I may want to read. I add books to my "to read" shelf so that I know what I would like to read at some point. Fantastic website/app. I love it. -
The Color Purple
Such a heartfelt story. Hard to read in some parts, and definitely stays with you long after the book is read. It is a book that I would actually love to read again sometime.

I Spy: A Book of Picture Riddles
The I spy collection of books are absolutely fantastic for small children. They keep them occupied. We used to take these with us on trips in the car of doctors office when we had to keep the kids kinda quiet.

Driscoll's Raspberries
I love Driscoll Raspberries. They are always fresh whole berries that have a great flavor. Good for making deserts, baking or just eating as they are. The whole family loves them.

I think the first time I ever read Tuck Everlasting was when I was in middle school. Over the years I pick it up now and then as a quick read. A read that I love, even after all this time I still enjoy reading this quiet little story about the Tucks and Winnie.
I am past the age that this story was meant for, but it is still one of my favorite quick reads.
On the back cover of the book there is a review by Harper's and a line in it sums up this book quite nicely, it says:
"If this were Winnie Foster's story only, it would be like any other great adventure: you would come to the end, with all resolved and that would be that. But this is also the story of the Tuck family and therefore, though it has a beginning and a middle, it can never end."
This book, though as I have said is a quiet little book, with a quiet little backstory, in a quiet little town, a quiet little wood, with quiet people, still holds so much mystery and adventure.
A kidnapping, a murder, a jail break, immortal never ending life, great formed friendships, and spring of water that makes you live forever, and lets not forget the toad.
I will probably always continue to read this book every few years, just because it was a favorite when I was a child and I still enjoy it to this day.

Had a bit of a hard time getting into this book. It did get a bit better as the book progressed and I did enjoy it a little more than I expected to. The story and writing is a lot different than what I normally read but with that being said it was an okay book. Not sure if I will read anything else in the series. -
The Wonderful Wizard of Oz - L. Frank Baum

I am older than I should be for reading this book the first time. However it was on my daughters book shelf and I had never read it so figured 'why not?'.
I got to say I sorta enjoyed it. For a book of that time period it was pretty descriptive and interesting.
I love how the tin man, lion and scarecrow wants the one thing that they already have inside but they have to still get the great and terrible Oz to give them physical forms of these items when they truly had them all along but were not confident enough in themselves to realize it.
I think a great descriptive book to read to a younger child to help peek their imaginations.
