One of the sweetest moments is having a good chunk of free time and snuggling up with a new book. Sometimes my snuggling also includes a steaming mug of coffee, a soft blankie, or some cookies, but really it’s the adventure of a new story that keeps me coming back.

Ben and I are both excited to share our love of reading with our little one (only 7 more weeks!) Our home library has been steadily growing since we married- with history, fantasy, novels… you name it! Now we get to concentrate on building our children’s section. Sitting down together, Ben and I planned to make a short list of our favorite books from childhood. Well… this “short list” turned into a six page wishlist on Amazon! We didn’t even attempt to shorten the list, because how could a person choose between The Train to Timbuctoo and Mrs. Wishy Washy’s Farm?  or Corduroy and Chicka Chicka Boom Boom?  So it looks like we’ll be building our children’s book collection slowly over time!
