The Barn's on Fire, The Horses are Out, and Someone Has a Stinky Bum
Do cowgirl moms have guilt, too? You bet. And, we even change bums and take our kids to dance practice, between feeding critters and quading around the countryside. You've discovered my garden, now check out the ranch.

Mommy C's Sanctuary for Offbeat and Quirky Children's Literature
Welcome to Mommy C's sanctuary for offbeat and quirky children's literature. Come and enjoy this little garden, where I will be reviewing the books I love.The focus will be on, but not limited to, quirky titles by Canadian authors. To begin with, I will be taking a look at books in five different categories: "The Scoop on Poop"- a critique of potty training books (I have a two-year-old in training right now), "Happily Ever After?"- a look at contemporary fairytales, "Breaking Ground"- my praises for books that are moving society forward, "Diamonds from the Tundra"- a journey through the world of Inuit literature (my three little inspirations are 1/4 Inuvialuit), and finaly, "Stranger than Fiction" a review of quirky non-fiction books.
I garden in the wee hours (I am a mother of three). Please, be patient with my atrocious grammatical errors. I know, I wish I had an editor, too. But, this is a solo project.
If you have a book that you would like me to review, feel free to contact me at tworiverscowmama@yahoo.ca.

About Me
- Mommy C
- I am Mommy C, a children's writer and mom. I am raising three little inspirations in North Eastern BC. We share a 1/4 section with 14 horses, 110 chickens and turkeys, three dogs, and five fish. I've been an infantry soldier, a rugby player, a survivalist, a pipeliner, and rode bucking horses. Now I wrangle children and scribble a little.

Places I Love
Subscribe on JacketFlap
If I were in posession of the one piece of knowledge that could improve all of mankind, I would place it in a children's book. It would be read by the very young and remembered by the very old. It would be entertaining and non-didactic. It would be short, simple, and easy to understand. It would be light-hearted and humorous. And of course, it would be filled with brilliant illustrations.
