FEATHERING OUR NESTS: O-MAMA’s Perspective on SPRING CLEANING

Spring is in the air.  The birds and the bees are flitting around doing their thing…nature abounds.  The birds are feathering their nests and laying their eggs, while the bees are busy pollinating every flower in the garden.  The air is crisp and clean.  Chirping and buzzing fills the air.

Everything seems fresh and new.  So, let’s take a new look at Spring, shall we? The first thing that comes to mind is cleaning. Ugggh.  But, let's talk about the birds and the bees instead...the part of the story that happens...

HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY!

PRESIDENTIAL QUICK READ FOR OUR O-MAMA MAMAS.....

Okay, we all know that Bookmama swings neither left nor right, and for the most part steers clear of “political” book offerings.  I’m a fiction gal, but because of the 4th of July etc. etc. I thought I’d suggest this quick and easy read.  So without revealing any policy opinions…

Jory John asked kids: ages around 8 to 14: What should President Obama do know?  Some kids were very specific: “use hand sanitizer.”  Some kids a little more esoteric: “the best thing about the White House is the experience of being there for a term or two terms and really sucking everything up, be it good or bad.”  Most of the kids wanted our president to just HELP—to help everyone get jobs, help people get along, help everyone get more money.  Funny; that’s what most grown-ups want to!  We all want these things, and of course so does our President.  There is an innocence bordering on naivete of course, since some of the letters are from very small children—but honestly, most of their dreams and hopes for the country and its citizens don’t differ much from the average American’s most fervent desires: for peace and success, freedom and safety.
