Miss Rumphius

 If you go to any touristy places in New England you are bound to run into a copy of the children's book, Miss Rumphius by Barbara Cooney. Apparently Cooney lived in Maine before she passed away several years ago.

Despite the many times I have seen the cover of this book I had yet to read it until last week when the kids begged me to read it to them. I am so glad that I did. It is a beautifully illustrated book and has such a heartwarming message: Do Something to Make the World More Beautiful.

I recommend that you read this book no matter what age you are. You may find that this book inspires you to do something to make your mark in this world!

Twilight Saga: Eclipse Movie Trailer

I am anxiously awaiting the release of The Twilight Saga's 3rd movie Eclipse. So I was really excited when a friend sent me a link to the official movie trailer that was aired on Oprah the other day. So I wanted to share:



I really enjoyed the books in the series and really liked the first movie. I was a little disappointed with New Moon when I saw it in theaters. I thought it was a little cheesy, but it was also 12:30am in the morning when I watched the movie. So I am hoping that this movie will be a lot better. I have heard that a new director was brought on for this one.

Go Team Edward!
