Welcome to Litsy!

This sweet potato turned one today and we had a little get together with some of our besties! Her favorite things are books and the packages that toys come in. 🥰🥳 Happy birthday, Clara Jo!

Thank you @throwmeabook and @PurpleyPumpkin for the Christmas and birthday treats. Xo #poutinepenpals

Thank you @StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego for the birthday package! I can‘t wait to open it! Any chance you got an #LMPBC package from me recently?

This book is placed in the second person by using the word “you” throughout it. This is very interesting because it lets children imagine what would happen if they were in the hippo‘s shoes.

I would read this book to a toddler or preschool classroom on a student's birthday. Everyone can laugh at this book, even if it isn‘t their birthday.

Picture Books
This book is very silly. All of the birthday monsters come to the hippos house and will not leave. The illustrations are very fun to look at as the hippo gets more and more annoyed in every page. Overall, this is a great read for younger children.

And here is my little girl enjoying that cake. Bring on the handfuls of frosting!

My little girl had her first birthday party today. The theme was Sandra Boynton books. Here is the amazing cake my mother-in-law made!

It‘s a brand new month of #BirthdayLove 🎊💝🥳And today‘s good wishes go out to @kathedron 🧚‍♀️🧚🏼‍♂️🧚‍♀️🧚🏼‍♂️Hope your day is full of magical moments and lots of cake 💫🎂 🦄💐💫♥️#TheBirthdayCrew

This is late in coming, but I wanted to thank the wonderful #JB Littens who passed along some birthday love this year! It was so fun opening these cards over the last few days. And a special thanks to @Soubhiville and @CBee for passing along these awesome books! All of you warmed my heart in these frigid days! 😘🤗

I‘ve gotten some wonderful #jb #litsylove mail recently. Thanks to @kaye for the cute card emphasizing my favorite part of a birthday. And thanks to @Lovesbooks87 for the card and fun goodies! 😘

Sending lots of #BirthdayLove on your special day to @mabell and @ValerieAndBooks !!

My favorite little monster had a birthday party today. So that got me thinking about some #sassysunday questions for you all. Hope you‘ll fill us all in!

(My answers: trips, yellow, chocolate, and I love giving experiences. My little monster and I are going to a musical (her first) next month!)

Happy Birthday to @Book_in_hands @Lmstraubie and @Tcip have an awesome birthday weekend!! #BirthdayLove

Happy Birthday card from Emmie...the highlight of being in the hospital for my birthday..

Found on Facebook. The caption says "This year for my birthday, if my friends asked what I wanted, I said, "Your favorite book". Here's some of the loot. What a fantastic plan!

Today is my 30th birthday and I have book money to spend! Let me know your top 2017 read so far to give me some ideas on what to buy!

Celebrating my birthday with 2 of my favorite people!!

Happy Birthday @Cinfhen !! 💕💕🌈🌈🎉🎉💐💐✨✨🌞🌞🍰🍰

I missed out on a lot of reading time this weekend helping my sister prep for my nephew's first birthday party. It was totally worth it - that kid owns my heart. 💙🎂💙

Me in just a couple hours! Going out for my birthday with my hubby and my dog- dinner, a good long walk, and drinks at a cafe where we can watch the famous Congress Bridge Bats come out for their evening hunt. I love that Austin is dog friendly enough that my girl can join us!
(Photo from Pinterest- my dog is cuter!😜)

I have the best friends!! They came over and surprised me with a Momster cake 😂😂

All Boynton is good Boynton 💗 and this belated birthday present didn't disappoint. Monsters go wild and still manage to make a birthday special. Her rhymes and characters are always just so delightful 🎉 #babyreads #birthday #boardbook

My little boy turns four tomorrow but we celebrated today with a barbecue in the backyard and his requested "chocolate everything" cake with sprinkles and raspberries. So haven't had much time for reading this weekend, with cake making and present wrapping and merrymaking!

We celebrated Little Man's birthday today (it's on Wednesday). So, I haven't gotten much reading done today. Now, the family is all gone, Little Man is in bed, and I may get in a chapter or two before retiring myself. Hope everyone had a great weekend! #sugarrush #birthdayboy #itwasdelicious #readandeat

When it's your dog's birthday and he can't believe you're actually going to work. 😂

You guys!!! I wanted to reply to each and every one of you who wished me a happy birthday. But, there were so many and I had such a busy day! But thank you all so much for your well wishes, it really means so much to me. I had a fantastic day with my daughter and my best friend. I also received some bookmail from my bookish soulmate, @Gayan , and I really don't deserve her, you guys. I'll post her gift and my birthday book haul tomorrow! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Tomorrow is my birthday and Mr. JSW is taking me to Bookshop Santa Cruz!!! What's the best book you've read so far in 2017? #blameitonlitsy #TBR #birthday

Today (well yesterday now) was my husband's birthday. Parker was fascinated by the candles. She's always overwhelmed at her own birthday parties and she can't eat cake. So we've never done candles or singing afraid it would be to much for her. I guess we will this year. Maybe no party and just a cake and walk in the park or something. #babiesoflitsy #birthdays #fire

Hey all! I'm attempting to start a new reading challenge to read 30 books that have been published since I've been born, in celebration of turning the big 3-0 February 2018. 🎉
If you know of any great book published in 1988 and onwards, I'd love a suggestion. Especially in the late 80s/early 90s.
#30in30 #birthdaychallenge

Today is my birthday. It a moment of pure Litsy geekery, I snapped this screenshot and then saved it so I could post it today 😂😂 Also, I may or may not have spent some time today wandering around a bookstore. 😉#underthelitfluence
