Princess Time At The Pediatrics Wing Of TMC

Yesterday Nicki and I were able to spend a couple of hours with some very special princes and princesses at the pediatric wing of Tucson Medical Center. We had a reading and made Princess crowns.

Thanks to our beautiful Princess Erica who helped add some extra princess charm!

Rebekah Grace even has a new home on the shelf in the reading tree inside the pediatrics wing!

Real Momma Reviews Rebekah Grace

We are super excited by the review that Rebekah Grace The Practically Perfect Princess received by another Princess and her Queen Mommy.

Here's what Princess Cheyenne had to say for the book from Real Momma's Review:

"When Cheyenne and I read it before bed time and talked about what we liked in the book and the lessons learned her review was straight to the point:

Even when you are a Princess you still need to follow the rules, be kind to others, and respect your parents.  And the book tells us all the important princess rules that I already know and I can’t believe there are other girls like me out there that love pink and are sometimes too busy to sleep."

Thank you Real Momma we are so pleased that you and your Princess enjoyed the book! You can read the full review here.

We are Kreativ!

Our First Review!

Shantel over at Our funny little family recently read and reviewed Rebekah Grace with her little princesses.

To read the complete review make sure to stop by her blog, but here is an excerpt; " The illustrations are adorable and the colors are great. Rebekah has so much spunk and attitude she's definitely a three year old I'd love to hang out with. Needless to say my two princesses and this queen mommy really enjoyed Rebekah's first adventure and can't wait for the many more to come! Hope you'll take my recommendation and check out "Rebekah and the practically perfect princess", it's a MUST READ"

In Celebration Of National Book Week.....

Yup, even in the midst of my moving drama we too celebrated National Book Week. Before we get to that though, special thanks need to go to my sister Nicki for her hours of hefting all of my clothes and only making fun of the vast amount of mom beige pants/shorts I have only once. Love you Sis!

How might you ask did we celebrate Book Week here at the Practically Perfect Princess?  Nicki and I decided to celebrate by having a parade **Spoiler alert for Rebekah Grace The Practically Perfect Princess**.

Here's how the parade went down. Hubs and at least 2 children in the U haul truck, Queen Mommy Jen in her white van directly behind, my brother Bob in his pick-up truck and Queen Mommy Nicki following in her cute sporty little Hyundai. Never mind the vast majority in this parade were not showered and two of the participants had just been picked up from ballet and were in black leotards and pink tights. We were too embarrassed/vain to take pictures of this beautiful parade, but here's a little pic to help stimulate your imagination. Happy Friday!

Reviews and Readings

Thank you!! Thank you for all of the emails and comments you have sent our way this week. Your kind words and encouragement have really helped. Nicki and I were chatting that this process kind of feels like when you prepare your child for their first day of school and send them off praying that it is a good experience and people are nice to them! We have all of the same feelings with Rebekah Grace. We hope she is received kindly and maybe even liked a lot. Yesterday at a reading someone told me that the pictures looked very "Disneyesque". I was so pleased that this Mom had picked up on that as our illustrator Mr John Ewing worked on many projects such as Sleeping Beauty and Winnie the Pooh.

Now to all of our amazingly talented and cool bloggy Mommy friends we would love your help. We would love to have you review the book on your blog or the other cyber places you normally visit.  For more information contact me at jen@practicallyperfectprincess.com. Also, we are willing to travel. The kids are ready for a fun filled summer of touring with the book. If there is a place we should host a Princess Palooza reading please let us know and we will work on trying to get there.

Lastly, today is moving day for the Humphries family and I have herded my sister and all available labor into helping me move this weekend, so we will be back in strength on Monday with the announcement for who won the April Princess Palooza giveaway. Wait till you see the shirt it is way too cute. I want one in adult size! The Princess Palooza has been so much fun and we have loved seeing all of these cute pictures of Princesses and we really don't want to see the fun end, so how about we continue it through May? Please keep sending in your Princess pics to be posted and for entry into the Royal Court and a chance to win a Princess tee shirt.

Thanks for visiting!
