I have this idea for a children’s book. I’ve been meaning to write it down before I forget about it. I always have these brilliant ideas at night and completely forget all about them the next day. I’m not tooting my own horn or saying that this is a brilliant idea or anything. It’s just been in my head for a while now, so I thought I should write it down. It’s not like I have a gazillion followers and someone is going to come along and steal my idea. And if they do, it would turn out differently anyway. What I want to do is sort-of like a songbook/storybook. I have these songs that I sing to my kids, and have for years, at bedtime. It’s actually pretty basic, but they always loved it, so I figured maybe other parents would like to do the same thing. I “wrote” a song for each of them. I used a popular children’s song or lullaby and changed the words and within the words, made sure I added their name to the song. It makes them feel really special, like they have their very own personalized song! So, I figured, “Hey, I could put together a children’s book with like 7 or 8ish songs with blanks where the parents can insert their child’s name and then sing/read the book to their children.” My kids love “their” songs. In fact, given a chance, my older kids will still try to get me to sing their songs to them. I already have three written, one to Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star, another to Row Row Row Your Boat and the final one to Silent Night. I’d have to use popular songs that pretty much guarantee the parents will know the song. So, that’s idea. Go ahead and leave me a comment to let me know what you think (assuming it’s working again – my mom said it hasn’t been letting her comment. I don’t know if I have to change something in the settings or if it’s a problem specific to her computer.) Like I said, it’s a simple idea that would probably work! Simple rhyming comes easily to me, so it wouldn’t even take long to write! I really have to figure out how to publish things…this blog, children’s stories! I feel like there are so many things that I want to write, but I don’t know how to go about the final step. If anyone does, help a girl out please!! 

I had a good day today, but I’m beat. So, I’m off to bed! Goodnight😴
