April 7th – April 13th is National Boys & Girls Club Week!

As you've seen in many past posts we've done, we believe highly in associating ourselves with others in the community and with groups that like to help others and give back. It takes people like YOU to come together and help others that need it. We have personally worked with many groups to provide food, essentials, and school supplies to those in need. One such group that we love to talk about here on Mama Luvs Books is the National Boys … [Read more...]

Spending Some Mommy-Daughter Time Together with Piggy Paint {Giveaway}

What better way to spend a little mommy-daughter time together than giving each other manicures? My daughter is 8-years old, and making herself "pretty" is so fun for her. Having our own little spa day at home with Piggy Paint this weekend gave us a little bonding time together. I've been working a full-time job as of the past month and a half, and I just wanted to spend a little time chatting with her and doing something together that she likes. … [Read more...]

$20 Amazon Gift Card & Children’s Chapter Book {Giveaway}

I just read the cutest children's book called Perry the Pigeon and the Case of The Missing Scones, by Jan Soolman. This book came for me to review at the perfect time, as I will be heading to London myself in a couple weeks. The book takes places in London and begins with a poor baker named Thomas Goodheart that makes the best baked goods in the city, but because he's so new and has a small bakery nobody notices his shop. He is behind on rent, … [Read more...]

Biomes Marine Biology Center, North Kingstown, Rhode Island

We were so excited to visit the Biomes Marine Biology Center in North Kingstown, Rhode Island. My 6-year old son has been saying for the last year that he wants to be a Marine Biologist when he grows up, so this was the perfect place to take him and it is only 10 minutes from our house! We visited the old location years ago, but this new one is just awesome! It has so much more space, more creatures, and even an education/play area and gift shop. … [Read more...]
