Today, the boys and I took a break from our regular routine to watch Martha Stewart’s daytime show. It was great.

Technically, it counts as homeschool because we learned a lot of facts about reindeer. Not to mention the home economics lessons.

She had on Robert Sabuda and Matthew Reinhart, who make pop-up books. Not just pop-up books, but amazing pop-up books.

They showed their latest books: Star Wars: A Pop-Up Guide to the Galaxy and The Chronicles of Narnia Pop-up: Based on the Books by C. S. Lewis. These books are unbelievable. They would make great gifts for the hard-to-shop-for person, especially a Star Wars or Narnia fan.

They also have a book called, Winter in White, and they showed us how to make a reindeer pop-up card, which you can learn how to do here.

Can I just take a moment to say that I love that my boys will take a break from burping, farting, wrestling, running around, jumping on the furniture, and kicking each other to watch Martha with me.

What more could a mother ask for?

I mean besides a girl.
