MY REVIEW: Wow, I can't say enough good things about this book. I wish that I had owned a copy of it when my own daughters were young. The authors offer wonderful and unique ideas for making every day special for families and friends and loved ones. They offer scriptures, special quotes, recipes, craft ideas, decorating ideas, and more!
The ideas are simple, inexpensive and sure to brighten even the darkest day! I think I am going to give my copy to my daughter for Mother's Day this year as she just gave birth to my first grandchild. She loves crafts and cooking just as I do and this book will give her ideas for making life special and exciting for her sweet little family! I thought I was doing a great thing by writing notes on napkins in their lunch boxes and cutting their sandwiches into shapes for holidays, but this book offers many more terrific suggestions.
I received a copy of this book from The Book Club Network (bookfun.org) and the publisher in exchange for my review.
