About Me

My photo
Mysteries, polka dots, California Rolls, TJ Maxx, cozy blankets, rainy days and getting the first spoonful of peanut butter out of the jar make me smile. Spiders, rude people, cold fingers and toes, baby leashes, people that don't wrap their packages before going to the Post Office, poison ivy and Math (pretty much all of it) make me want to scream. My perfect day would be spent with my wonderful husband and sweet girls- watching movies in our jammies! Of course, having the movie theater to ourselves would be great, too. Please pass the popcorn and M&M's.:) I am saved by the grace of God. He is my constant companion and hears my every prayer. What a blessing! I'd love to hear from you!

Life with Lily book review




My Thoughts on Life with Lily:

Life with Lily is an enchanting peek into the life of the Amish as seen through the eyes of an adventurous 6 year old little girl.  Absolutely delightful!  My 9 year old daughter and I were charmed by Lily Lapp and we're anxious to read her further adventures.  So excited that this is just the beginning of this new series of books!  It's like an Amish Little House on the Prairie!

Each chapter is short and sweet- perfect for bedtime stories.  Lily goes to school for the first time, spends days with her grandparents,  watches her little brother "learn to fly", finds a cat with a very odd tail (smiles), meets her new baby bother for the first time (and isn't very impressed) and more.  You will giggle, wonder and dream along with Lily and her family.  This is a series that all ages will love!


{MORE ABOUT LIFE WITH LILY}

Book 1 in the ‘Adventures of Lily Lapp’ series.
Lily is six in this story, just starting first grade in a one-room schoolhouse in upstate New York. Her parents are busy building a farm, and soon animals join the family—Jenny the cow and Chubby the miniature horse. A baby brother arrives, too, which Lily has mixed feelings about. (She wanted a sister!) Aside from a mischievous friend like Mandy Mast, Lily is happy at school and even happier at home. Trouble is brewing at the schoolhouse and change is on the horizon for Lily and her family.

Be sure to visit the “Adventures of Lily Lapp” interactive website. The site is fun for all ages and loaded with games, downloadable coloring pages, Mama’s recipes, a way to ask Lily questions, book giveaways …and more! Check it out by clicking on the site logo.

The Life With Lily series looks wonderful Lori. Sounds like something adults would love too :) I have read several amish books but The Lapp family are my favorites and as you already kmow I can't get enough of them! I enjoyed the video clip, the little sketches are cute, I like kids books to have little pictures like this here are there to help their imaginations.
