“A Kiss Like This” by Mary Murphy Review & Giveaway!!!

I cannot wait for spring and you will probably hear me mention that a dozen times at least before it arrives. This Arctic blast we are experiencing can go back to the Arctic from which it came with bells on it! I love looking ahead in the winter, love scheduling appointments in December for April at the doctor’s office but hate doing that in the Summer when they are scheduling for December!

Anyway, so looking ahead to the next month we have Valentine’s Day coming up and I just shared an adorable book with my little ones. A Kiss Like This by Mary Murphy is all about how Mama and child animals express their love in a kiss. It can be a fuzzy buzzy kiss like the bumble bees share or a fizzy bubbly kiss of the fish. The unique way the pages are split and allow little hands to turn them and see the display of affection is so sweet. If you are looking for a special book to celebrate Valentine’s Day with your little one, this book even saves the last kiss for you and your special Valentine.

A giraffe kiss is very tall — just turn the page and see! Elephant kisses are long, of course, while tiny mice and bubbly fish have kisses all their own. Using a clever split-page format that makes for charming surprises, author-illustrator Mary Murphy shares a series of animal kisses that are sure to have babies and toddlers gurgling, giggling, smiling, and leaning over for their kisses, too.

What better gift for a new baby? The creator of I KISSED THE BABY! celebrates animal moms and babies in an irresistible novelty book.

Candlewick Press is sponsoring a giveaway on Mommy Ramblings. One lucky blog reader will win their own copy of A Kiss Like This! Thank you to Candlewick Press for the review book and for sponsoring this great giveaway on Mommy Ramblings!!! Open to US residents.

Valentine’s Day Treats!!!

Besides baking Michael’s birthday cake for tomorrow, I decided to bake some sugar cookies for Valentine’s Day. I use the following sugar cookie recipe and I just love it.

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups butter, softened
2 cups white sugar
4 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
5 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt (I do not use the salt myself)

Directions

In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until smooth. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Stir in the flour, baking powder, and salt. Cover, and chill dough for at least one hour (or overnight).
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Roll out dough on floured surface 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. Cut into shapes with any cookie cutter. Place cookies 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheets.
Bake 6 to 8 minutes in preheated oven. Cool completely.

Use Valentine’s Day theme cookie cutters. I chose to use hearts of different sizes and edges.

The dough is so easy to work with.

Prior to baking you can decorate or leave plain to dip in chocolate after baked.

I do not let them over bake and I love that they are soft and not crunchy.

The recipe makes a good amount of cookies. Amount will depend on the size of cookie cutters you use but I have three platters full.

These cookies were calling to Ethan who we told had to wait until after dinner. As you can see from his face and hands, he did not waste any time.

It looks like I will be doing a lot of baking this weekend.

I need to do my review on the set of acrylic cookie stamps I received today from Gourmac. Michael’s birthday is the 13th so that will require a cake and I do have the supplies to try the cake pops again. Last but not least, I wanted to bake some cut-out sugar cookies with Ethan and Luke for Valentine’s Day. All this should make for a very sweet weekend. I will be having another contest for a set of brand new cookie stamps just like the ones that I am reviewing. They will be sent to the winner direct from the company and I will post rules later. We still have the “My Little Cupcake Pop Mold” giveaway going on so be sure to get in on that as it ends on the 14th. I have lots of other reviews and give-aways coming up so stay tuned.

Are you all doing some yummy baking for Valentine’s Day? Do tell. Well, I better rest up for my baking marathon. Have a good night everyone!
