Today I am sending a shout out and a great big ‘atta girl to my friend and fellow blogger Vicki at Horses, Dirt and Motherhood. A few weeks ago Vicki announced on her blog that she just published her first book. What a great way to start the new year! I have great admiration for Vicki because I know there are many of us, Bloggers and non- bloggers, who have said or thought “I should”, “I could” or ” I want to – write a book” but we just haven’t done it yet. It take’s a lot of time, talent, commitment, and I sure some money to write, illustrate (Yes, she illustrated it as well) and publish a book and Vicki has shown us that it can be done.
I received my copy in the mail yesterday and am now looking forward to sharing it with my grand children on their next visit.
I found it very touching that in addition to fulfilling her dream of becoming a published author, Vicki is using this as an opportunity to help support a cause that is near and dear to her heart.
To find out where to purchase the book follow this link to Vicki’s blog. If you would like to show support for Vicki’s endeavors but do not have young children in your life you might consider buying a copy and gifting it to your local library, preschool, or elementary school. You can also help spread the word by sharing this post.
Thanks for reading and have a great day. 🙂
A cool book for sure! I am definitely going to buy a copy and I will also reblog this post!

Congratulation to Vicki. I have always thought writing a children’s book would be fun. In fact I had one written but am not an illustrator!

Oh Faye I don’t like the word “had”. Did you not save it? I bet if you decided to write a children’s book you could find many artistic people who would love to illustrate it.

Woohoo, huge congrats to Vicki! Will check out her blog now. I take my hat off to all who get a book written, let alone published. I’m guilty as being one of who people who want to, crave to, be able to write something, but never start.. This is fab, I wish her all the best with it 🙂

You’re welcome Ruth – I found it interesting especially because a few people have suggested I write a children’s book about Parker. I told them that you really have to have an outlet and maybe make appearances and this is something totally out of my league. It would be fun to do though. I wish Vicki well. Warm wishes to you too … stay safe in all this icy weather.

I am sure you could write a great book about Parker. If you decide to do it maybe you could talk to Vicki about her experience with sales and promotions.

Thanks Ruth – I would like that idea to reach out to her … that is just a pipe dream for now based on all the blog posts and people’s comments. Like you said about Vicki … thinking about it and implementing it are two different things.
