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 like it to be really cold in the house when I sleep so I can snuggle up under the comforter. When Jude came along I was always concerned he was too cold at night. I bought blankets not realizing he would never keep them on and that they could present a safety issue for…
So I have a new love in my life. Her name is Hanna Andersson. In our search for Jude’s Brobee costume for Halloween we discovered Hanna Andersson. This Swedish inspired clothing makes my heart sing, mainly because I have an obsession with stripes and Hanna specializes in stripes! I can’t normally afford a pair of…
We love BBQ. And I’m not talking about the event of grilling burgers on your back porch. I’m talking about Southern style slow cooked pork (or chicken) with some kind of delicious sauce. There are many different kinds of BBQ sauce; vinegar based North Carolina sauce, mustard based South Carolina and traditional tomato based sauces,…
It’s football season and even though my boys think football players are robots we are celebrating the sport by watching the Peanuts Deluxe Edition: Touchdown Charlie Brown!

Jude is an on-the-go boy. So his toys need to be on-the-go and durable to keep up with him. We received Boysterous Boy Slope Shreddin Sean, Goalie Gavin and the Extreme Sports Zone. They actually arrived the day we moved in to our new house so Jude had plenty to keep him occupied while Joe…
Every night before bed we snuggle in the bed and read several books to Jude. He picks out his favorites and we recite the same story over and over and over. It’s become so consistent that we don’t even have to look at the pages and sometimes he’ll just recite the lines to us….
