I am not sure how it will look or how it will come about, but I have decided that I want to write a children's book and Title it: "Is mommy an octopus" With having multiple children I am often put in situation where I am helping one child and the other needs help and they want it now! Take this morning for instance. I was getting the kids ready because we have MOPS today and I needed to make 2 bowls of oatmeal and 1 bowl of cereal. Because the oatmeal takes 1 minute to cook I decided to put one in the microwave and make a bowl of cereal to be efficient. Once it the micro beeped I took the first bowl out and put the other in. I then proceeded to give Dallas his cereal and put Ava in her highchair with her oatmeal and as I am doing so Reese looks to me and says "mom, what about me?" I then turn my head to her and say "hmmm, is mommy and octopus?" She laughs and says "no you don't have six arms (I correcter her an stated they have eight)" But in that moment I thought....this would be a great book! So I am going to get my brain working and write a kids book. Unless you all comment and tell me you wouldn't buy it :)
I'd read it!
ReplyDeleteYou have the kid experiences for sure and I;m sure you would never run out of ideas and stories!! Go for it Amber!! You write very well too. It would be a hit and I would go to differant bookstores to see if they would advertize for it. I would even hold a reading for the kids in the library!! Coll! Now I'm hyped!! Love, Mom
ReplyDeleteIf your making two bowls of oatmeal...make one bowl - give both kids half the bowl each, then make the other bowl and give each of them the other half.
ReplyDeleteHope this helps :)
From one mommy to another
You can do it! Seriously...you just have to do it...kids books are all about the pictures!! If they have pretty pictures people will read it.
