Bedtime for Baby 10, 9, 8...Owls Up Late!

Disclosure: Many thanks to MM Publicity for the opportunity to review this book.
I was thrilled to receive 10, 9, 8... Owls Up Late! By Georgianna Deutsch and illustrated by Ekaterina Trukhan.  The book is perfect for preschoolers ages: 3 - 5 and a perfect read for our Bedtime for Baby Book Reviews.  
I love books that helps reemphasize learning skills particularly for toddlers and preschoolers.  Their little minds are always itching to learn more.

My niece runs a daycare and my great nephew is one of her best students.  He's such a fantastic counter and he knows all of his ABCs.  We put him on the spot every time he comes to visit to wow us with his skills and he gets a little shy sometimes.  Truth is he's smart like his mom.  I remember when she about 9 or 10 and she could recite the longest poems.  There was something about the rhythmic flow of the words that she just embraced and for the life of me I can't recall the name of this one poem she would recite over and over.  I was so enamored by the authority and confidence in her voice when she spoke the words in that poem.  
That's one of the reasons I love this Bedtime for Baby book selection.  The rhythmic text is jovial and it's fun to read and when the kids hear the smile in your voice, they tend to focus on it.  When they're focused on it, guess what... they're learning.

Ten little owls are playing in a tree,
hopping and hooting happily.
But Mama Owl calls from down in the nest,
“It’s bedtime now; it’s time to rest.”

Peek through the pages and spot the mischievous owls in this fun counting book, perfect for bedtime! 

The board book is 26 pages so it's one of those books you can read in one sitting or split it up over the course of a few nights. 
The book is available at stores nationwide including Walmart, Target, Amazon and more.

What are/were some of your favorite books to read to your little ones?

My newest grandbaby is only 6 months old, but I'm already buying him lots of books and this one sure looks like a winner. I need to grab it for him.

Going to have to tell my daughter about this book so she can get it and read it to her little ones. We are all readers in our family. This is perfect.

This sounds like a great book to read to kids. I always read to mine when they were tiny. We read a lot of Dr. Seuss and Goodnight Moon.

It sounds like this would be a great book for toddlers. My nephew and niece are both toddlers and I think they would get a lot out of this book. I might have to buy for their birthday.

How cute does this book sound for little ones, it looks like it so colourfully illustrated as well!

I thought the illustrations in the book were so much fun for children. Owls are a great wise bird so i think kids will love this.
I love to read, I always have since I was a child. We still have books here from when my kids were very young, they loved Dr Seuss.
This is a book that I bet my kids would have loved as toddlers. It looks super cute.

That books sounds really fun to read especially during bed time. I do like books that keep a child's mind active! We were all about the different disney story books when my daughter was younger.

Book reading was part of our routine when my kids were little. NOw that they are bigger, my daughter read books when she can't fall asleep.
My kids love reading and getting new books. This one sounds just lovely and like my littler kiddos would really enjoy! - Jeanine

This sounds like an excellent book series! I definitely should get this for my youngest daughter. She just turned three and is currently not a big fan of bedtime.

Maple and Brown Sugar Air Fryer Bacon

I've been raving about my Instant Pot but now I have a new favorite... the Air Fryer.   O M G This thing is amazing!  I don't know why I was so late to the Air Fryer craze but I am so glad I am finally onboard.   I've been talking about getting one and then after my aunt posted pics of her new air fryer, that was it off to Best Buy I went.   I wasn't sure how big of a unit I would need but I figured the 2.5 liter would suffice.  I chose the Chefman Express.  It was priced on the shelves for $85 but online for $75.99 and my local store matched the price AND I had my Swagbucks Best Buy QR code so I got 500 SBs + 2 SBs for every dollar spent so that's another 170 SBs.  So, after discounts, my air fryer ended up costing me less than the sale price.  Woohoo! There were some fancy ones on the shelves with digital display but after checking the reviews I figured since I don't fry much this model would suffice. When I think of fried foods, I think

Jeepers! It's January Hop

Happy New Year! What better way to kick off the new year than with a giveaway! I am so excited to join The Mommy Island, The Kids Did It and 90+ other fab blogs in the first big giveaway hop of 2018! Here’s your chance to start the new year off with a win. One lucky Three Boys and an Old Lady blog reader will receive a $15 Walmart eGift card. $10 may not seem like a lot but it’s enough to stock up on some last minute Christmas clearance gifts. Trust me. I bought a 6’ Christmas tree WITH lights, 2 animal massagers, 3 Jelly Belly BeanBoozled Jelly Beans Mystery Bean Dispenser, Christmas cards and wrapping paper less than $20 during an after Christmas Walmart shopping trip. I was searching for some cough syrup when my friend’s kid spotted the Jelly Belly BeanBoozled Jelly Beans Mystery Bean Dispenser on sale for 50 cents. What a steal! The regular price is $10 so to find them on sale for 50 cents was a deal. We cleared the shelves. A few rows down we spotted some anima

A Pit Stop at Sho Nuff Hot Tamales in Greenville, Mississippi

My cousin and I were driving along and our tummies were rumbling as we crossed the Mississippi state line on US-82.  We didn't really have any particular dish in mind for lunch but we started seeing signs saying "Hot Tamales". "Hot Tamales", my Philly cousin asked. "Yep", I replied nonchalantly.  "I remember reading something about hot tamales being a big thing here in the Delta."   We kept driving and finally decided we would have to try these famous Mississippi Delta hot tamales. Now to decide which one.  There were literally dozens of tamale spots.  We happened upon a restaurant called Sho-Nuff and decided it was the one. We parked and entered the large, delightfully decorated restaurant.  The wall was plastered with local and national awards in recognition of those hot tamales.   There was a sign touting Sho-Nuff as the winner of the local newspaper's favorite restaurant award and 3rd place winner in the annual  Delta Hot Ta
