Kid at Heart: An Aunt Reviews a Kid's Book- Will You Be My Sunshine by Julia Lobo and illustrated by Nicola Slater

I thought it might be fun to review a kids book on here... this has been my favorite to read to my niece because it's just so cute. The sayings on the inside are really sweet and if you're looking for a good book to bring to a baby shower... highly recommend this one!

The cover of it just looked absolutely gorgeous and I saw it on sale at Barnes and Noble when my mom was looking for books for the baby... and I said "Ohhh this cover is really pretty." We didn't know anything about it other than the cover being pretty... but we bought it based on that.

It's written very cute also. Basically it's just a mom and a baby mouse asking "will you be my sunshine" and saying "Yes!" and then saying a cute little saying after it. They say more than just the "Will You Be My Sunshine" but it's all very cute.

The illustrations are gorgeous as well. They have a lot of different skies and they all look so pretty and the mice that are the main characters are just soo soo cute. It's a really, really sweet book. It's one you could read over and over again and you can't help but smile at it... it's just so so cute!

The pages are cardboard, so it's easy for toddlers to grab it and read it or ask you to read it and flip through the pictures. It's really easy.

The book is just a sweet book- like the "Will You Be My Sunshine" in the title implies. It's just asking "Will You Be My____" on every page and saying "Yes I will be that because I love you!" (not the words, its better written than that... but I don't want to ruin it!)   It's just very much a "Lovey" book. It shows how much the two mice love each other and in turn showing how much whoever is reading the book to the baby loves them. It's just one of those books that gets you emotional while reading it... but not in a sad way like some books... just a very sweet book. It's a nice one to read to your loved ones.

It's also an easy book to do voices for... which is always a plus. It's definely fun to do cute voices with a book... and this is a good one for that.

Hopefully this was helpful for you guys!

Byeee!

It List: May 2017

Can't believe it's the last day of May... this was a great time for TV... so let's get right into it! 1) Master of None- The second season of this show was really really great! I liked the first season... but this season was just wayyy better to me for some reason... I loved that they had episodes about Italy and about New York... I think they did a really great job and I was so impressed with it... I'll have to watch the first season over again and do a Throwback Thursday on that sometime soon... but until then... season 2 was great! 2) Girl Boss- I finally got around to watching Girl Boss this month too... and I loved that show! At first I wasn't sure if I was going to like it or not... then I just couldn't stop watching it and I finished it in 2 days... which I guess is when I finished all the Netflix shows I'm talking about... but still. Girlboss was definitely really good... and I feel like I could watch this one over and over again too. 3) Unbrea...

Blogmas Day 12: The 12 Days of Christmas Gift Guide

So I thought it would be fun to do a gift guide that every gift corresponds with the price. So like for the first day of Christmas $1 gift that would be good and then up from there. These would be good stocking stutterers and things I just think are unique. $1- Solar Powered Dancers!  My mom loves getting the little dancing solar powered people. We get most of ours from Dollar tree... other dollar stores have them too, they're super cute and fun for $1. Its good to put near any plants that you have that way you know they're getting sunlight. It's a good gift. $2- Mini Coloring Book!  At 5 Below they had some mini travel sized coloring books for $2. I thought these were pretty cool. I got the Botanical one I believe. Really cute and fun! I would recommend! $3-   Ceramic Truck w/ Christmas Tree  I saw this at the Target Dollar Spot and I thought it was cute and would probably make a great gift. If you know someone who has a truck or likes the sort of "rustic C...

Scribbles About Food: Gloria Jeans Pistachio Chiller (kinda like a frap)

So since I'm doing all of the Frappuccino reviews, I thought I would give a shout out to a different coffee chain that I like... maybe even more than Starbucks! But I hardly ever go to it because A) People get your orders wrong there a lot B) I don't really live near one! So Gloria Jeans has some amazing drinks called Chillers that are like Frappuccinos, but they have always had a ton of really good and really interesting flavors. One of my favorite Seasonal ones is the Pistachio Chiller. They had this around this time last year also and its a really good unique flavor. Basically it tastes like pistachio ice cream... but in a frozen coffee form. Its pretty cool! And Pistachio is a pretty underrated flavor in my opinion. I don't get it enough, but I always love Pistachio and Almond flavored desserts and this in particular is really flavorful and just a really good chiller. I don't think there is anything at starbucks that compares to it really, its really different...
