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.

Both Joe and I play instruments, he plays guitar and I play piano. I hope the boys show interest in learning an instrument when they get a bit older. I think music helps children learn discipline, math skills and an self expression through art. Jude has always enjoyed music. We sing together every night before…
Jude loves marshmallows. On our old house he used to climb the cabinets just to reach the marshmallows we’d hidden on the top shelf. With summer quickly approaching I really hope we get the chance to let him try a S’more for the first time. I know he loves each of the ingredients individually so…
Jude’s birthday party is next weekend. We are having a pirate themed party at our local park. So I knew I wanted to find some cute pirate invitations to mail out to our family and friends. These days people typcially send electronic invitations, which have their benefits, but there is nothing like getting a well…

Now that Jude is in Kindergarten he gets to take his lunch every day. He loves carrying his lunch box and I love packing him healthy lunches. I try to assemble a well balanced meal each day but I’m no bento box mom. Sometimes I give my kids packaged foods. Gasp! Sometimes you need to…
Spring Cleaning isn’t spring cleaning without a deep clean of your home. This weekend we attacked the living room, rearranged some stuff and really cleaning the whole room.
