Every night before bed I read a couple of books to Jude. He gets to pick out the books and we snuggle in the chair or on the floor to read. It’s a great way to wind down after a busy day and to be honest I really love the cuddles! It’s also a great way to teach and encourage Jude to enjoy reading.
We are always looking for new books to read. I particularly love to introduce him to my favorite books. One of my all time favorite books is Corduroy. I am so happy that have finally been able to share Corduroy with my son. Now I hope to pass it along to my family and friends through the KinderCare Read. Share. Give Book Sharing Program. KinderCare understand the importance of reading to children. They are encouraging families to continue reading this summer and helping to place books in the hands of children in need through the Read. Share. Give Book Sharing Program.

My 4th and final baby is now officially a toddler. For what seemed like an eternity, I was in constant baby mode. I was surrounded by tiny clothes and all the latest baby gear. I’ve tried many different baby products over the past eight years, and I think I’ve got a pretty good idea of…
I’ve been fortunate enough to have only a handful of relationship before I met and married Joe. I think because I’ve been around enough people in crazy relationships I’ve always been a little cautious before jumping head first into them. Growing up in a Christian family with Christian friends I can’t tell you how many…
