It is imperative that kiddos have a nightstand.  Where else would they put their stack of books? As we gear up for our Israel trip the nightstand is loaded pretty heavily with Bible stories (kids books are a good way for mommies and daddies to brush up on their religion, too!).  These are the ones we’re working through from our most recent trip to the library: At the Break of Day, by Nikki Grimes A baby born in Bethlehem, by Martha Whitmore Hickman Bible Lands, by Jonathan N. Tubb The Creation Story, illustrated by Norman Messenger David and Goliath, by Leonard Everett Fisher The Deep BlueRead More →

You’ll note the September Stack looks a lot like the August Stack.  It’s been a bit hectic.  Plus, I had to shake things up since I got Lasik right at the end of August and wasn’t feelin’ reading, so much. The Stack: Divine Misdemeanors, Laurell K. Hamilton (almost done with this one – still) Shutter Island, by Dennis Lehane An Echo in the Bone, Diana Gabaldon (barely started – still – hey, it’s really big and takes a bit more focus than fluff reads!) Last of the Red-Hot Vampires, by Katie Mac Alister (third of the way through – still) Phantom of the Opera, byRead More →

Books are a passion of mine.  I was that kid who always had a book.  When I finished classwork I read a book (sometimes instead of classwork).  Since my face-plant into Mommyhood I certainly don’t devour them like I used to and as such tend to have a stack sitting on the nightstand, at all times.  Fortunately, my love for reading has rubbed off on my little one and his nightstand is always overflowing too!  Having a little one reading has also been great fun because it gives me a chance to revisit some old friends and discover plenty of new ones.  This is theRead More →
