MrsDrPoe: Hand-Me-Downs for My Baby Girl

This Foto Friday I'd like to share with you something very special to me.  As you may or may not know, I'm a rather sentimental person.  I love that our guests sleep in a bed that used to belong to Mr. Poe's grandmother and that our toddler(s) will sleep in a bed my granddad made for my dad that I slept in as a little girl.  And now that we know we're having a little girl, I'm especially excited to be giving her:


a Raggedy Ann doll given to me by a very dear aunt, a bear given to me when I was born, the jewelry box I used for twenty-ish years, and the tea set and rocking chair I had as a little girl.

I hope she gets as much enjoyment out of these things as I have; I just can't wait to share them with her!

MrsDrPoe: To Kill a Mockingbird

For the next Reading Review, I present the classic "To Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee:


I had read this book before in school, but it was nice to have the opportunity to read it again and get an adult perspective on the book.

"To Kill a Mockingbird" is well written and a great read.  It captures the attitude of the time and the spirit of childhood perfectly.  The unique plot holds the readers attention, and the grammar school aged narrator provides humor at times and a unique vantage point that makes people of all ages able to identify with various aspects of the story.  I thoroughly enjoyed the book and was reminded again of why it is a timeless classic.
