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.

My boys love Entenmann’s Little Bites. Sometimes I pack them in their school lunches or we just have them for a snack. This coming weekend they will take them on their scout camping trip. I like that they come in a variety of flavors and are made with real ingredients, and never contain any high…
Last year was the 1st year I didn’t go shopping on Black Friday. I had a 4 week old baby that was recovering from a 3 day stay in the hospital for RSV. Only a few things can come between me and my holiday shopping and my kids are certainly on the top of that…
Abel is almost 4 years old and I just now got around to creating his baby book. Hey, he’s baby number 4 so he’s lucky he even has a baby book. Life is busy and as parents we don’t always have the time to record every precious memory with our child as frequently as we…
Joe is totally a t-shirt and jeans guy. But for work he has to dress up a bit so his weekend wear has becoming a little dated. He’s definetly got that thin rocker style going for him. I love a guy in some appropriately fitting skinny jeans, like Joe’s new dENiZEN skinny jeans. dENiZEN jeans…
