Finally! Over the next couple of weeks, I will be publishing the remaining chapters of The Wizard of Oz! I know it's taken me a while and I do apologize! I hate making excuses but these past few months have been incredibly difficult for me with passing of my father. I miss him so much!

So tonight...I will be reading chapters 15 - 17 from The Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum and I hope you enjoy! The next 3 chapters (Ch. 18 - 20)  will be released next Tuesday Sept 20th and then the final chapters (Ch. 21 -24)  on Thursday Sept 29 (the day before my birthday!) 
Enjoy and sweet dreams!

Little House on the Prairie - The Final Chapters! (Chapter 25 & 26)

Welcome back my friend! Just a few months ago, we ventured into the Maida Series world with the first book of the series called "Maida's Little Shop" by Inez Haynes Irwin. A tale that warmed our hearts about a wealthy little girl who is sickly and lame and finds happiness living in an ordinary neighborhood with ordinary children while tending her little shop. 

Tonight we continue that journey with the second book called "Maida's Little House. We will go on a magical journey with Maida and all of her friends, while  they spend a happy summer together in a sweet little house in the country that has everything a child could wish for. So lie back and relax as we continue our journey once more into Maida's little world!  Wishing you the sweetest of dreamzzz...

Your friend, 
Joanne

Little House on the Prairie (Chapter 23 & 24)

Welcome back my friend!  Tonight’s bedtime story is a masterpiece penned by legendary Oscar Wilde called ‘The Nightingale and the Rose’, a beautiful story of love, sacrifice, and the beauty of nature. A tale that transports us to a garden not so different from one you might find in a dream, where a nightingale overhears a young student who is weeping over unattainable love and decides to embark on a heartfelt quest.  

The storytelling begins with a beautiful short guided relaxation with soothing sounds to help you relax and settle in.  The story also ends with a short relaxation to help you transition into a restful night's sleep.  I hope this episode helps you feel calm and at ease! I wish you the sweetest of dreams!
Your friend,
Joanne
