Our Favorite Books: 9 to 12 Months

We love our books. And I do mean we - not just me. Hubby is an avid reader of boring history books (okay, okay, not totally boring, but he really loves non-fiction and generally gears his reading towards the world wars). I love my... well, everything. And B has his favorites, too. So, yeah, we…

Christmas Gift Guide for One Year Olds

I think I'm still in shock that I have a one year old. Every single day is a new adventure and there is so much changing and learning happening at this age. I feel like I am constantly trying to come up with new ways to challenge little B. Sometimes this means, cutting a hole…

Top 10 Books on My Christmas List

Christmas already? On Saturday, I sent my wish list off to my mother and mother-in-law, but as I get older there are fewer and fewer things that I want each year. I think a big part of that is that hubby and I can buy the things we want and need as we go along,…

Thanksgiving Readathon – Wrap Up

Well, that did not go as planned. Also, it went way too fast. I really did try to read, but between homework, Zach's family Thanksgiving, Black Friday shopping, my family Thanksgiving, and writing my proposal it just did not happen. I feel like I knew this was going to happen, but I just couldn't help…

Thanksgiving Readathon

Okay. So last week I only posted once (even though I've been trying really hard to post at least twice EVERY week) because, well, life happens. This week we're going to run into the opposite problem. Yesterday, I shared with you My Favorite YouTube Mixes for Reading/Studying. Today, I'm going to tell you my holiday…

Holiday Reading

Hey, ya'll! It's finally November so I can feel slightly less embarrassed when I tell people the countdown to Christmas (48 days, if you're wondering). It is officially "THE HOLIDAYS" -- my absolute FAVORITE time of the year. But, I'm not going to lie, I've had the countdown going since September. It's officially time to…
