Book Description
Motherhood and creativity can coexist. You have creative dreams swirling in your heart, but pursuing them while changing diapers and managing the carpool schedule feels impossible. You have no time. No space. You can mother, or you can create. You certainly can't do both (right?!). But what if you could pursue your God-given creative gifts alongside motherhood, for the enrichment of both experiences? What if you stopped viewing creativity as a selfish act, and started to see it as essential to your own flourishing as a mother? This book is a much-needed permission slip to do just that--through the pictures you take, the stories you write, the meals you make, the music you play, the gardens you grow. In this unforgettable book filled with rich storytelling and stunning photographs, writer and mother Ashlee Gadd helps you set aside the guilt and discover the sacred connection between creating and mothering. One-part commissioning, one-part pep talk, Create Anyway will propel you forward with a renewed sense of energy, purpose, and enthusiasm for stewarding the creative dreams God has planted in your heart--right alongside the diapers and carpool. Here's to creating in the margins of motherhood. Here's to creating anyway.

Allow me to introduce you to the most delightful, side-splittingly funny book you'll ever have the pleasure of reading this year: "Creeperella and Nine Mischievous Monsters." Why should you buy this book, you ask? Well, let's dive right in, shall we? First off, imagine a world where bedtime stories aren't a chore but an absolute delight.

This book is the perfect remedy for the bedtime blues, transforming yawns into giggles and "just one more chapter" please into the norm. For the kids, it's like opening a portal to a land of endless fun and adventure. Each character is more loveable and hilariously unpredictable than the last. Take Creeperella, for example. With her dramatic sighs and vine-like hair, she's always up to something, whether it's plotting pranks or rolling her eyes at Gigglefang’s never-ending antics. Or how about the irresistible Monster Nyaka, the fur-changing diva with a vet aversion so intense it could rival a cat's dislike for water? But let’s not forget the educational angle. Yes, you heard that right. Through their wild adventures, your little ones will learn valuable lessons about bravery, friendship, and the importance of a good laugh. Each page is a treasure trove of teachable moments wrapped in the most entertaining package you could imagine. Parents, you’ll find yourself chuckling along with your kids. The witty banter and laugh-out-loud situations are written with a charm that appeals to both young and old. This isn't just a book for children; it’s a packaged family experience. You might even catch yourself sneaking a read after the kids have hit the sack. And who could blame you? With characters like Blunderbuss, the clumsy giant with a heart of gold, and Fizzlebop, the bubbly monster whose biggest fear is flat drinks, it's impossible to resist. Now, just picture this: a rainy afternoon, the sound of laughter echoing through your home as you and your little ones embark on an adventure with Zippityzap, the lightning-fast monster, or join Snickerdoodle, the tiny winged trickster, in her latest escapade. And what about a monster who could polish off a whole roast dragon, a bucket of bugs, and a tank of slime in one sitting? These are the moments memories are made of. So, why should you buy "Creeperella and Nine Mischievous Monsters"? Because it’s not just a book; it’s an invitation to a world of fun, absolute chaos, laughter, and heart-warming adventures. It’s a chance to bond with your kids over stories that are as educational as they are entertaining. And most importantly, it's a guarantee that bedtime will never be the same again.
