So much has happened since September 2, 2023, the day I had the very first inkling that I would consider writing a children&#8217;s book, (in the future) certainly not right then. I&#8217;ve probably slept less over the last 5 months than I ever have in my lifetime. I&#8217;m on a mission to save the children from the onslaught of negative messages screaming for their attention these days. I am determined to let my voice be heard while entertaining children with age appropriate stories both they and their parents will love. <\/p>\n<\/div><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"714\" height=\"679\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livinginsidethetestimony.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Adam-Ava-Books-2-1-1024x974.png?resize=714%2C679&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1595 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livinginsidethetestimony.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Adam-Ava-Books-2-1.png?resize=1024%2C974&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livinginsidethetestimony.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Adam-Ava-Books-2-1.png?resize=300%2C285&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livinginsidethetestimony.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Adam-Ava-Books-2-1.png?resize=768%2C731&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livinginsidethetestimony.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Adam-Ava-Books-2-1.png?resize=1536%2C1461&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livinginsidethetestimony.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Adam-Ava-Books-2-1.png?resize=2048%2C1948&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livinginsidethetestimony.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Adam-Ava-Books-2-1.png?w=1428 1428w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livinginsidethetestimony.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Adam-Ava-Books-2-1.png?w=2142 2142w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 714px) 100vw, 714px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I&#8217;ve already published the first book, <strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/a.co\/d\/1V3tmv3\">Adam and Ava Trade Places<\/a><\/em><\/strong>, the second one will be published this spring, and it&#8217;s highly likely that 2 additional books will be released later this year. I have ideas for the first 7 books so far, and it&#8217;s getting harder and harder to contain these ideas in my head. There is so much I want to share, and so much I feel like the Lord is directing me to write. It&#8217;s been a fun and exciting period, but also a scary and intimidating whirlwind that I have no choice but to continue. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I won&#8217;t use this as a Dear Diary session to reflect on the past 5 months, but I am requesting that you check out my new website, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adamandavabooks.com\/\"><strong>Adam and Ava Books<\/strong><\/a>. (Details omitted here as I really want you to check out the website.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For additional fun, check out the Facebook page I created, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/AdamAndAvaBooks\"><strong>Adam &amp; Ava: Life Lessons From 6-Year-Old Twins<\/strong><\/a>. Like and follow it to keep up with the twins shenanigans (as well as my own.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Speaking of shenanigans, MINE specifically, here&#8217;s my unauthorized photo shoot at a local bookstore. I was afraid to ask the bookstore manager for permission, so I sneaked and did it after stalking the aisles for a safe place to &#8220;jump, jump&#8221; without being discovered. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Fun, but unauthorized author photo shoot at a bookstore\" width=\"714\" height=\"402\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8wBDZ5K5Mzw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I wish I could tell you all the plans I have for this book series, but I&#8217;ll spare you the details&#8230; for now. You can watch it all unfold on my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adamandavabooks.com\/\">website<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/AdamAndAvaBooks\">Facebook page<\/a>. (Links repeated here in case you missed them earlier&#8230; lol)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Come along on this journey with us and discover life lessons even adults need to ponder. (Yes, that&#8217;s me driving the car, but the twins are the bonafide heroes in these books. Jeter, my real-life grandpuppy, is there for guest appearances because he&#8217;s cute, and kids love puppies.)<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livinginsidethetestimony.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Adam-Ava-magnets-1-scaled.jpeg?ssl=1\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1443\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livinginsidethetestimony.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Adam-Ava-magnets-1-scaled.jpeg?fit=714%2C402&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1601\" style=\"width:718px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livinginsidethetestimony.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Adam-Ava-magnets-1-scaled.jpeg?w=2560&amp;ssl=1 2560w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livinginsidethetestimony.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Adam-Ava-magnets-1-scaled.jpeg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livinginsidethetestimony.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Adam-Ava-magnets-1-scaled.jpeg?resize=1024%2C577&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livinginsidethetestimony.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Adam-Ava-magnets-1-scaled.jpeg?resize=768%2C433&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livinginsidethetestimony.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Adam-Ava-magnets-1-scaled.jpeg?resize=1536%2C866&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livinginsidethetestimony.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Adam-Ava-magnets-1-scaled.jpeg?resize=2048%2C1154&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livinginsidethetestimony.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Adam-Ava-magnets-1-scaled.jpeg?w=1428 1428w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livinginsidethetestimony.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Adam-Ava-magnets-1-scaled.jpeg?w=2142 2142w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 714px) 100vw, 714px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It wasn&#8217;t a New Year&#8217;s Resolution, but I decided 2024 would be the year I focused on my new children&#8217;s book series.
