California, Md. (PRWEB) – It’s the privilege of nearly every grandparent to tell their grandchildren stories at bedtime, and every so often one of those stories is so well-loved that they’re forced to repeat it again and again. With the publication of her new children’s book “Down by the Sea” (published by AuthorHouse), author Robbie Zeigler’s granddaughter will have her story immortalized.

An excerpt from “Down by the Sea”:

“On a bright sunny afternoon Jade and Caden strolled to the beach with their mom and dad. Jade had been imagining a sand castle in her mind, tall, magical, and enchanting. Shortly after they arrived she began building it in the warm moist sand. Jade was playing in the sand, her castle almost complete, when something off in the distance caught her attention.

She could see something shinny and moving next to a large rock that was not far off shore. Jade continued to play but soon her curiosity got the better of her and dropping a handful of sand into her castle building cup she went to investigate.”

When Jade finds a new friend in mermaid Belle, she is amazed when a magical crown lets her become a mermaid, too, and explore the underwater landscape.

“This book was inspired by my youngest granddaughter, Jade,” the author says. “She wanted a mythical story told about her. It is a story about an adventure under the sea, a wonderful little girl, a child mermaid and the power of a magic crown.”

I have found that sitting down and organizing my thoughts on paper is a great way to make sure that I don’t forget anything that we will need while we are gone. I mentally go through my day with my infant daughter and as I come across things that we use, I write them down. The good news about this process is that you only need to do it once. That is, until your baby becomes a little older and starts needing different things. But make the list once, save it on your computer, or put a hard copy on your family bulletin board and the next time you pack, it will be a breeze! Here is what is on my list for when my baby and I are leaving for a trip.

Baby bottles are important for babies especially when it comes to feeding time. While we all look at feeding bottles in the same way, it still goes to show that the quality of manufacturing these feeding bottles along with the materials used are important points for consideration as well.

Here is a video showcasing non toxic baby bottles by BornFree.
