I love dirt, but my husband doesn't...maybe this will help him too. :)

I desperately need this book. I am a grandma and I have spent my life ridding my home and children of dirt. I now have grandchildren and for their sake I "MUST" learn to appreciate "DIRT"!
Please...It's never too late to change.

In my experienced opinion, the dirt in our part of the world is especially special, no?

oh how we love dirt here! yesterday it was pouring and we enjoyed getting dirty in a huge messy puddle. a car drove past us in its own puddle/pothole and made us even dirtier, it made my son even happier!
thanks for this giveaway!
Posted by: Isabelle | October 29, 2009 at 06:25 AM
Oh how exciting. My son certainly does love dirt, we'll cross our fingers to win!
