Spending Quality "Down Time"
One of the ways that Boug, Lil' Buddy, the Hub and I spend some quality down time is by reading. Lil' Buddy is less than interested and Boug has decided that Daddy is the bedtime book man. Mom, I guess, just doesn't measure up to Daddy's reading... or maybe its that she's stuck with me all day long and can't bear to see my face or hear my voice anymore.
Cheerios, one of our all time favorite cereals, for the past 7 years has given out over 35 million books through Spoonful of Stories, packaged in cereal boxes and has donated almost $3 million to the fabulous charity, First Book.
Reading is one of the most rewarding things that we do in our house and I'm sure it ranks pretty high in yours too, and I've had my ideas for a kids book from time to time... but Boug always says, "Ummm Mom, that doesn't even make sense!!" But if you wanted to see your s
hort story for kids (aged 3-8) as one of Cheerios Spoonful of Stories books, you can enter into their contest through July 15th! Head on over to the Spoonful of Stories contest site for more details and to enter.
We've grown to love "The Great Dog Wash" by last years winner of the story contest. I want you to love it too and it will be included in the 4 book prize that you can win here at A Couch With A View!! Boug has completely memorized "Monkey and Me" too... I hear her muttering it throughout the day!!

I wasn't aware of the Cheerios reading promotion. That sounds like such a wonderful idea! My kids love books and we read to them all the time. Goodnight Moon is one of Conan's favorites. He also loves any book with the Disney Cars characters in it or learning books. He loves to learn about colors, shapes, numbers and letters. My three year old enjoys just about any kind of book. My twelve year old is a big fan of Erin Hunter and the Warriors book series. My husband and I read all the time too. I swear our home is like a library. Glad to hear Cheerios is helping to promote reading!
Thank you for a great giveaway! My favorite book is The Giving Tree. I read it to my children now. Thank you!
