You've Got Mail Mondays



It's that time again. Time to peek into my mailbox. I try to head off the mail before my hubby sees what's inside. That way he doesn't know how many books are arriving.  I think he might beginning to wonder if books are more exciting to me than he is.  Okay, that's a joke, but I do get a lot of mail.

Last week, two books made their way here:  Super Luke Faces His Bully by Dr. Jackie C. Cogswell and Pearls of Wisdom: 30 Inspirational Ideas to Live Your Best Life Now! by Jack Canfield et al. I am coordinating the virtual book tour for Dr. Cogswell and participating in the blog tour for the other book.


Some great catalogs arrived last week too.  Gardner's Supply Company is offering a chance to win a $1,000 Dream Garden gift card. Details appear on their website. I'm thinking a customizable soaker hose system might be the way to go this year with the raised beds. I'll have to see what the budget looks like once I get all the seeds and raised beds put in.

The Pottery Barn Kids catalog showed up at the end of the week. I'm looking for new seating for the girls in the family room. I'm wondering if their Anywhere Chairs would be a good choice. When the girls were little, we had those fold out character couches. Then we graduated to bean bag chairs--which while comfortable, aren't easy to store or get around in our family room. The problem is we have a couch and a love seat, but the way the floor plan is laid out, it would be better to have a couch and a chair. That would give us more room to add seating for the girls. Looks like I'll be rearranging furniture soon.

I also received a package from Christian Book Distributors. I did some early Mother's Day shopping for my mother-in-law, and picked up a Veggie Tales DVD for the Sunday school kids. Christianbook.com is currently running a Spring Fever sale with prices up to 96% off.

That is it for this week. Hope your mailbox was filled with fun stuff too.
