Review: Mo's Nose Series...
I've been given the awesome opportunity to check out some of the books in the Mo's Nose series by Margaret Hyde, which is a seven book picture book series that follows a rescued dog named Mo (Who is based on the author's best friend and the series' illustrator's rescue dog Mo) on various journeys as he discovers the beauty and wonder of colors through his sense of smell. Each of Mo's "scentsational" adventures emphasizes a different color/theme -- Which is pretty neat in this Youth Services Librarian's opinion.
Can we just talk about how adorable these books are? I love the concept behind them, the illustrations are so simple and sweet, and the fact that you can smell what Mo does is amazing to me (Each book has this Press-2-Smell technology thing going on that releases 100% pure essential aromatherapy oil as you flip through the pages after you place these stickers on them). But my absolute favorite thing about this series is that ten percent of the proceeds from all Mo’s Nose books and merchandise is donated to the Best Friends Animal Society. As someone with a rescue dog (Nella was saved from a kill shelter in Virgina when she was a puppy by North Shore Animal League) I love that donations are being made to help save animals.
So as you can tell by my gushing above, I totally adore this series and I think it would be great for any child's home library.
These books were sent to me for free for review. That being said, all of the above opinions are truly my own. As always if you wanna send me free stuff I'd totally take it, try it & give you my honest opinion of it!

FAQ About The Move...
Since everyone that I know has been asking, I thought I'd do a little post answering the two questions I've gotten asked constantly since I've moved...
1. How is living with Justin? Is it what you thought it would be? Etc.
Living with Justin is exactly what I thought it would be like and it's basically the same as it was when I was spending the weekends at his old place. The only exceptions are that I don't leave on Sunday nights, I have a kitchen to cook in, all my stuff is there and there is more than one television. So everything is awesome living with him, we have no problems as of yet.
2. How do your parents feel about you moving in with Justin?
Honestly my parents could care less, if they cared I would have gotten an earful about it and I didn't. We've been dating over ten years and they expected me to leave at some point. Do they miss me? Probably not only because I've practically stopped by every other day since moving out -- My mail still goes the their house, I miss Nella and I still have things in my old bedroom. So yeah, they are cool with Justin and I living together.
Those are my answers and I'm sticking with them.

Doctors Tending Bar For Boobies...
Last night I attended a breast cancer fundraiser at a local bar that was sponsored by the doctors office that one of my friends work at. It was a ten dollar donation to get into the bar to watch the doctors bartend and serve drinks to their employees, friends and family.
Lemme tell you, having a doctor mix your drinks is a pretty interesting thing to watch because most of them don't know what the hell they are doing. Especially the doctor we had making our drinks. We asked him what he knew how to make and he just looked at us and said "A _______ and _______..." So we proceeded to order Captain Morgan and coke, Malibu and pineapple, vodka cranberries, etc. to make it easy on the poor doctor.
We hung around the bar for a bit but because it was so crowded (Oh, was it crowded...) and we were hungry we walked over to another bar/restaurant to have dinner, chat, etc. After a not so quick dinner we headed back to the bar the doctors were serving drinks at for a few more drinks and then we called it a night.
It was fun. I'd go to another fundraiser like it.

Cookin' Librarian: Apple & Cheese Sandwich...
One of my favorite sandwiches to make myself is an apple and cheese sandwich. And since I made one for myself earlier I thought that I'd share the recipe with you, even though it is really silly and easy...
* = I sprinkle garlic powder and black pepper on the mayo because I didn't have my favorite cheese to use to make the sandwich, which is a garlic chive cheese from my local farmers market. When I have that particular cheese I skip doing this because it is already garlicy enough.
• Sharp Cheddar • Granny Smith Apple • Whole Wheat Bread •
• Mayo • Garlic Powder • Black Pepper •
- Toast bread to your desired level of toastedness
- Spread on mayo
- Sprinkle with garlic powder and crack black pepper *
- Cut cheddar and add an even layer to each slice of the toasted bread
- Cut apple and pile on desired amount on one slice of bread
- Cover with other slice of toasted bread
- Cut and enjoy
