I want to make millions of memories with my silly little girl by teaching her to paint and color, craft, sew, bake pies, etc! I am particularly excited to teach her to make pies because my mom was not a baker at all, my grandmother was. I love thinking that Eli will grow up to be a woman who can whip up a pie!Susyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01389670633840666455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24028336.post-73596609830931934122010-11-23T21:45:52.316-05:002010-11-23T21:45:52.316-05:00I live in College Station, TX.

Hmmm..love that your mom never made you feel like she'd rather be somewhere else...very convicting becuase I am sure my kids don't feel quite that way about me! Anyway, the other day we were playing in our back yard and I pretended to be a lion and captured my "tasty morsels" and carried them back to this flower bed that I called the lion's den to devour them. They loved it and have asked to play lions every day since.Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01588038501425458974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24028336.post-85192528122866988002010-11-23T20:33:09.469-05:002010-11-23T20:33:09.469-05:00I am from Atlanta, GA.

I didn't have a sister, but when my cousin came for the summer one year we decided to pretend that we were twins. we dressed alike all summer and all the adults around us humored us and said how much we looked alike and acted like they couldn't tell us apart. It was so much fun. But it all depended on the adults playing along. I owe all those church ladies a huge debt of gratitude for not raining on our parade!Deirdrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08583554624452350556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24028336.post-15221916160147870492010-11-23T19:36:50.642-05:002010-11-23T19:36:50.642-05:00Greetings Amanda:) I'm going to have to invest...Greetings Amanda:) I'm going to have to investigate that song download, what a ministry...I remember my sisters and I all going to Dollywood or all of us going to visit my grandmother in Detroit. When my older sister and I would visit my dad when he lived in PA, there was a sticker shop there that we would walk to most everyday and buy stickers of all kinds.

I would love to win this book! My favorite childhood memory would probably be playing with my little brother. We were best friends and played so well together - we literally never fought. Now that I am a mom of five, I realize that was not normal - and I also realize how lucky my mom was! Haha! <br /><br />Thanks for the great giveaway!Heather L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15567339657829682101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24028336.post-72014563879485366272010-11-23T11:49:38.858-05:002010-11-23T11:49:38.858-05:00Hi Amanda!

I always wanted a sister growing up but never had one, so I relish the moments at night when all the lights are out and I hear soft giggles coming from my daughters' bedroom. One of the really fun things we do when we are in the car together is weave stories that are told in pieces by each girl present. One person starts, another continues, and so on. We've created stories over the years about fairy princesses who lived in a castle on the beach, an all-girls' school on the moon, and all kinds of other adventures. I would LOVE to win a copy of your friend's book!<br /><br />Wishing all the Joneses and Moores a blessed Thanksgiving!MamaBearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13971258819619127391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24028336.post-51631819675506129862010-11-22T23:05:59.432-05:002010-11-22T23:05:59.432-05:00Hi Amanda,

I would love this book for my own silly little girls. <br /><br />The memory I just made for them is buying them identical clothes for our family picture. They are now 11 and 9 and the last time they dressed alike was before they could say the word "no"<br /><br />It was more a memory for me, forever emblazened in our family pictures.

(With a few changed words, like "I saw your face in a sonogram!" LOL!) Now they sing the song along with him, Broadway-style with jazz hands and wild preschool dancing. :)Jenn Faulkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07651787611844738088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24028336.post-55396603503718110622010-11-22T12:59:36.697-05:002010-11-22T12:59:36.697-05:00My mother let us have tea parties outside with our...My mother let us have tea parties outside with our little red table.

She would take us on "field trips" in Houston every summer where we discovered everything from inner city day camp with Girl Scouts to the trams at the airport! My favorite summer she decided to teach us to be "producers and NOT consumers" so we spent the whole summer learning to make homemade bread and learning to quilt!!! She, too, played with us and made us her priority always!<br /><br />Thanks for sharing this book as I am a new mom to an 8 week old and am excited to use and give this book as a gift!!Katherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11445862183507131025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24028336.post-228359333237727602010-11-22T11:53:48.072-05:002010-11-22T11:53:48.072-05:00I have a silly sister and Can't wait to read t...I have a silly sister and Can't wait to read the book!!Thanks for sharing!Liz***https://www.blogger.com/profile/07352308052064860424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24028336.post-65316516765271818072010-11-22T10:02:10.047-05:002010-11-22T10:02:10.047-05:00I don't have any sisters, but I have seven bro...I don't have any sisters, but I have seven brothers. My most memorable experiences involve them doing typical boy things like pinning me to the ground, letting drool slide out of their mouths (headed right for my face) and then suck it back up before it landed on me. Sometimes they didn't catch it fast enough and I'd turn my head and it would land in my ear. Ok, sorry, that's sick, but that's what I remember. Do I need counseling?!<br /><br />The Lord blessed my husband and I with 2 daughters (he didn't have sisters either), so we've had a blast raising a gender we knew nothing about. One of my favorite things to do with them when they were little was to make blanket forts all over the living room and hang out in them reading Bible stories. My favorite videos are of them "reading" the Bible stories to me.Linda (Sewfordough)https://www.blogger.com/profile/09766737904826154093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24028336.post-80270781727076606112010-11-22T09:38:47.966-05:002010-11-22T09:38:47.966-05:00Hi Amanda!

It was after nap time, I had just changed her and tickled her foot by accident, which made her belly laugh. It was awesome! When I picked her up, she squealed with delight. I just stopped and held her. It was a special, tender moment where I was able to praise the Good Lord for entrusting her to my husband and me. Oh! What! A! Blessing!HappyascanBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17358621304693922198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24028336.post-66006816577691255282010-11-21T15:21:14.979-05:002010-11-21T15:21:14.979-05:00I'm Janet from St. Louis.

Now her grandkids beg her to tell them a story. I don't know how she did it. I was never good at making up stories to tell to my 3 girls. <br /><br />However, I used to sing them to sleep at night and they still talk about that to this day. Their favorite song was: "The Cradle Song." Here are some of the words: "I watch beside your cradle. Your face touched by the moon. My heart just aches and trembles with all my love for you. Your eyes shine like your father's. That nose looks just like me. I stare in awe and wonder at such a mystery - how God can touch the love of a man and wife....and blossom it into the breath of life." <br /><br />A few years ago, my girls went through this phase of wanting me to sing them the song again (even though they are grown) so I made each of them a recording of me singing it so they can play it whenever they want.<br /><br />Thanks for your blog and thanks for thinking of us for this giveaway.JayCeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03225210427890749194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24028336.post-81274280024200595182010-11-20T23:41:14.489-05:002010-11-20T23:41:14.489-05:00i live in chattanooga, tn...i am from a pair of si...i live in chattanooga, tn...i am from a pair of sisters and have 3 little girls! with thanksgiving coming up, the first memory that popped in my mind was polishing all my mom's sterling silver with my sister every year the night before thanksgiving for the crowd of family. such a mundane task, but special b/c we did it together and the finished product was beautiful!!laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04919361308502665608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24028336.post-73031209354694247022010-11-20T23:30:00.412-05:002010-11-20T23:30:00.412-05:00Hi Amanda!

I am actually the illustrator for this book & wanted to thank you for this giveaway and sing (the author)Erica's praises. She is an inspiration to me as a mother and I feel sooooooooooo blessed to have had the chance to illustrate this book for her. It is a dream come true. I do have a memory that always warms my heart that I wanted to share. . . When I was a girl and had to go outside to catch my school bus in the mornings in winter time, my mom would stand my little coat up in front of the heater and right before I charged out the door, she would put it on me and I would stay warm on my walk to the bus :)msimpsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06916668497757760159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24028336.post-10832501086702621312010-11-20T23:01:43.750-05:002010-11-20T23:01:43.750-05:00Hello, Im Angie from MS!
