Every night either Joe or I read a book or two to Jude before bed. Our nightly stories are probably one of the highlights to my day. Jude gets to pick out the books we read and often times he picks the same books over and over. However, it’s always exciting when we get a new book to join our collection.
I’m Not Tired Yet! is a the newest book from beloved author and illustrator Marianne Richmond. It tells the story of a six year old little boy, Ralphie who doesn’t want to go to bed and creatively masters the art of stalling. This is the perfect book for Jude right now since he has just discovered the art of stalling.
Ralphie’s mom handles her son’s delays with great patience and love. It’s a playful book that helps not only children but parents with the difficult task of going to bed. Jude particularly loves the engaging segments where Ralphie and his mom kiss, hug, pinch and poke each other. Jude wants to recreate each moment with me which is a truly lovely experience. The book has also taught me to react lovingly to Jude’s tactics to delay his bed time.
This really is a fun book and has certainly helped us to ease the pain of ending playtime and getting ready for bedtime.

I’m not much for matching outfits but I couldn’t resist getting Joe and Jude matching ties for Easter. ABC Neckties offers a selection of Father-Son matching tie sets that are just too adorable.

We primarily use cloth diapers for health, cost and environmental reasons but I’ve found that using disposable diapers overnight or while traveling work best for us. However, I still have to give the best to my kids as well as the earth so we use Seventh Generation Free & Clear Diapers. Free & Clear diapers…
Every year Joe buys me underwear for my Christmas stocking. I have a hard time spending money on my clothes much less underwear for myself so Joe takes the gift giving season to buy me pretty, yet comfortable underwear. At first I thought it was strange to get underwear in my stocking but now I…
Washing dishes is never fun but if you can’t have fun at least make it look fun. You know I consider myself to be pretty “green” but I’d never thought about a reusable scrubber. I mean it makes perfect sense, not only is it good for the environment but is saves money. Once it gets…
The other night we had a family Pumpkin carving party. Well, mostly it was Joe and I cutting up pumpkins while the little ones looked on but Jude helped when possible and he absolutely loved it.
