WMW Part 2 – I’m a Barefoot Mamma

Mamma Kerr — Wed, 26 Oct 2011 21:02:28 +0000

It’s Working Mommy Wednesday! Today’s prompts are:

Does being a mom cause your co-workers to think of you as the “office mom”?
Children’s books can be, boring – have you found any that are fun to read over and over?

Have I found any fun children’s books which we can read over and over?

I sure have!! In our house, we all love reading our huge collection of Barefoot Books together!

I joined Barefoot Books as an Ambassador in April 2008, and enjoy displaying and sharing the beautiful books at events, parties and fundraisers throughout Central Scotland.

My daughters have a whole cupboard full of beautiful Barefoot Books that they love to read alone or with Mummy. Some of the books also include an audio CD with stories, songs or rhymes! I like to give these beautiful books as gifts to friends and family, and my ‘special box’ (as the girls call it!) is a frequent source of inspiration for last-minute gifts for children’s parties!
Here’s a few of our favourites:

Here’s some Halloween fun from Barefoot Books:

Go Barefoot This Halloween

Mamma Kerr — Tue, 26 Oct 2010 11:55:23 +0000

Halloween is almost upon us! Have you got your costume organised? Do you have your spooky decorations up? Is your cupboards stocked with Halloween goodies for *guisers coming to your door this weekend?

Today, I’d like to share a couple of Halloween freebies with you:

FREE Spooky Halloween Recipes to make your Halloween spook-tacular!
FREE Halloween e-card to share and scare!

Why not treat your little monsters to The Barefoot Book of Monsters by Fran Parnel and Sophie Fatus?

WAS £12.99 – Now £11.99 (HARDBACK)

*guisers – Trick-or-Treaters. In Glasgow, children go ‘guising’, rather than trick-or-treating. They have to tell a joke or sing a song in return for some fruit, nuts or sweeties.

Giveaway – Children’s Book

Mamma Kerr — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 13:16:18 +0000

Welcome to the second giveaway from Mamma Kerr. This week I have a beautiful children’s book to give away. This competition is open to everyone, Worldwide.

The prize is a copy of: “We All Went On Safari” from Barefoot Books. The book is written by Laurie Krebs and beautifully illustrated by Julia Cairns. The paperback book, worth £5.99 (GBP) is aimed at four to ten year olds.

Learn to count in Swahili while discovering African animals on an exciting safari through the grasslands of Tanzania. Facts about Tanzania, Swahili counting, the Maasai people and a map are included at the end.
