Our Daddy is a Hero

2009-08-28T08:25:00.000-07:00

When I was in high school, I lived next to Fort Ord in Monterey County, and I came up with a theory that military families are so amazing that they have to keep moving around to everywhere so they can make the world a better place all over and not just in one town. Almost 20 years later, and having lived next to Fort Carson for the past 10 years, the theory has been CONFIRMED! My life has been so blessed by my army brat friends and my heart has been filled and broken by watching them come and go. Thank goodness for Facebook and blogs, I can keep in touch with them.

Inspired by my friends in the military whose Dads are deployed,

Note: I had planned on posting this at least 12 hours ago, but was at the doctor for a bit of the day with Mine Own Three Year Old who swallowed a coin and also making stew for my 5th grader's Civil War Presentation today... The Doc says the coin is on it's way to passing nicely, but I have been home for about 45 minutes today! Life does go on doesn't it? Please forgive my late posting!

So over the past couple months, I have been planning, designing and getting everything ready for launch MineOwnBook.com and we are right there! I am excited and anxious to see how the next year (or even month, for that matter) will pan out for my little endeavor.
~
All three of my kids have always used the phrase "mine own" ~ mine own cookie, mine own shoes, mine own book ~ and luckily for their 3rd & 5th grade grammar grades, the older two have grown out of it, but still have a little dude in the 'mine own' mode. So when I was thinking about personalized books, this was an obvious choice!

I am starting with two different styles of books ~ an About Me book and the counting book. I have started creating an Alphabet book as well as a couple of other ideas that are rolling around in my brain...

Here goes nothin'!
