But you know that Anne of Green Gables is Canadian, right? From the province of Prince Edward Island. This year is the 100th anniversary of Anne. Love all the food pictures on your blog.

We were in a ward at BYU together then met again during our little stint in Colorado Springs (now live in Vancouver WA). I was so happy to see another Mom trying to do her best to contribute to the World! You have inspired me this morning! I will do better as I get our four children back to school this week! I love all the same books you sited! (except I have an ornery streak that I won't read Myers books just because they are so popular! I would probably love them too!) Ii'd like to suggest you read some YA books by Cameron Doxey. They are sweet re-telling of fairy tales. I quick read and harmless with a simple kiss when the prince saves the day. I also suggest the series of how Peter Pan came to be: "Peter and the Star Catchers" is the first by Dave Barry - yes the columnist. I love to read these outloud to the kids at bedtime - even the three year old (now 5) would color while I read so he could hear it! I just had a friend suggest I read The Little Princess to my girls (7 & 9). I've seen several movie versions and enjoyed them. I'll pick it up on Tuesday at the library. (Incidentally the library is always where I saw Brooke and her children!) We regularly read Little House and Secret Garden. (I read them myself annually so I can be inspired by Ma). Okay - I have to get back to my Sunday routine before the schedule is lost and we're late and unhappy to church! Thanks for your great blog - I'm sending it to other moms I know!
