Birthday Pirates!

7 years ago today we were blessed with another little boy who brings lots of love, joy & loads of hilarity to our lives!  His name is Samuel which means, "asked of God" and I spent almost 2 years asking for him.

We like to tell him he was named after another "Sam" too (which he was in a way) - Samwise Gamgee, BFF of Frodo Baggins from "The Lord of The Rings."

When I was sitting in the theatre watching "LOTR, Return of The King" because I'm a supportive wife and that's what we do, not at all because  Viggo was in the movie...really!  I turned to my husband and said, "You know, if our prayers are answered, and we're lucky enough to have another little boy, I think we should name him Samwise Gamgee.  He's the real hero of this story and I think I love him."  My husband thought for a second and then said, "Or we could just name him Samuel because he might get made fun of with a name like Samwise."  "Yeah, OK, that works for me."

So our little Samwise wants to be a Pirate today and asked specifically for Pirate Cupcakes:

Arg! It's a Pirate's life for me!

BLOG TOUR: Frazzled by Booki Vivat (GUEST POST + GIVEAWAY)

Meet Abbie Wu! She’s about to start middle school and she’s totally in crisis. Abbie Wu is in crisis—and not just because she’s stuck in a family that doesn’t quite get her or because the lunch ladies at school are totally corrupt or because everyone seems to have a “Thing” except her. Abbie Wu is in crisis always. Heavily illustrated and embarrassingly honest, Frazzled dives right into the mind of this hilariously neurotic middle school girl as she tries to figure out who she is, where she belongs, and how to survive the everyday disasters of growing up. With Abbie’s flair for the dramatic and natural tendency to freak out, middle school has never seemed so nerve-racking! Packed with hilarious black-and-white illustrations and doodles throughout, Frazzled takes readers through Abbie Wu’s hysterical middle school adventures.
