Expecting? 

Baby Essentials 
&
Ruby Rose Comes to Town 



Here's a list Stork Landing helped me to put together for all your baby needs. 
Yes, this is quite the extended list, so feel free to pick & choose as you desire. 

You can view a closer version of this list directly at story-express.com. 

Look under My Books/Products, then under Ruby Rose Comes to Town. 
There's also a really cute video created by a group of children for you to watch too. 

I have a shortened version of Newborn Essentials as the last page of my newest book, Ruby Rose Comes to Town, which (cross our fingers) will be available really soon now. 

Ruby Rose Comes to Town is an endearing book perfect for the expectant new mother 
& the perfect book to gift at your next baby shower. 

I will be sure to let you know as soon as I can make it available.  In the meantime - here's a view of the front & back cover to wet your appetite!

SEEDS... the wonder of life!


My neighbor brought me over half of her home-grown banana squash - what a gift!


The seeds were plentiful - I pulled out about 100 from the caverns of this squash.  


Check this out though - I have never seen a seed like this one before. 
The other side looks identical with a slender beige middle on each. 


My daughter Eden had baked pumpkin bread the other day & saved me the seeds, again about 100 seeds from just one very small organic pumpkin. I give them a quick rinse to get most of the flesh off of the seed - they seem to dry better this way. 


Pumpkin seed on the left; banana squash on the right - awesome, right?

This is the cover of my new book - my project is posted on kickstarter so that I can raise funds to print this darling book. I have about 3 weeks left. Please share this link with others you may know who may be able to help me push on down the road.  


Thanks!

Ruby Rose Comes to Town

Drum-roll please... My project on Kickstarter has now been launched. I have 30 days to complete this project. If you like this 3 minute video, please share the link with all those you know. I really need & appreciate your help in getting my Ruby Rose Comes to Town project off the ground!




Below you'll find a jingle I wrote for the Little Bloomsbury Art Show - their them was financial soundness. A wonderful group of children & their parents created this skit.

Ruby Rose is Coming to Town

Ruby Rose
Ruby Rose
Whatcha goin' to do with so many clothes?

Stack 'em in the attic?
Store 'em 'neath the stairs?
Leave 'em alone?
Till nobody cares?

Too many showers!
Too many gifts!
When are you goin' to learn
About being thrift?

Share whatcha have
Give whatcha can
That's what we call
Care for fellow-man

Think about your sisters
Think about your brothers
Think about your neighbors
And thousands of others

Soon you'll be happy
Soon you'll be proud
Soon you'll be shouting
"Hooray!" out-loud




Ruby Rose Comes to Town is my newest book. The poem you've just read is a little jingle I created for the Little Bloomsbury Art Show, which was based on promoting peace & hope in an uncertain world through a sound financial basis, including being thrifty. 




Recycling is not a major theme in the book Ruby Rose Comes to Town, but definitely a minor theme which can be pulled from the story. 

Since I am preparing to go live on Kickstarter.com to raise funds for the publication, I wanted to include this jingle. Through friends, these 7 beautiful and talented children agreed to help me with this part of the project. 



These children are absolutely a delight to be around and brilliant. Together with their moms, they created a skit to go along with the Ruby Rose poem.  

You will be able to view it as soon as we get the promotional video completed. I hope you will enjoy it. I certainly had a blast the evening of the filming - 2 dogs, 2 families & relatives, pizza & a party atmosphere added to the fun!






Ready for action!

Greeting Friends & Readers across the Globe!


I have to be honest with you - it has been so much fun seeing where you are from. Currently I have readers in America, Russia, Germany & S Korea. So since my base of readers in Russia are seemingly growing as fast as my American readers - I thought it would be fun to add a note to my Russian readers.



Привет мои дорогие российские друзья и читатели.

Спасибо за то, что помогать расширять мой мир. Я надеюсь, что Вы преуспеваете 5548 миль или 8938 км от меня. Когда Вы думаете об этом тот путь, Вы - действительно не что далеко вообще, меньше чем 2 поездки поперек Америки.

************************************************************************

(Here's the translation for you Yanks :))

Hi my dear Russian friends and readers.
Thank you for helping to expand my world. I hope you're doing well 5548 miles  or 8938 km from me. When you think of it that way, you're really not that far away at all, less than 2 trips across America.

Our different languages are so amazing - the sounds, the letters and I am sure even some of the meanings translate differently. I do believe we are universally connected and similar though as human beings. More on this subject later - time to zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz (work tomorrow).

By the way, I should have my website (story-express.com) updated with my new book info sometime next week - I'll let you know. 


For now, would you like a sneak-peak of the front & back covers of the book? I thought you might. By the way Twiga is pronounced twee-gah. 










Have a wonderful day tomorrow 


make each moment count!
