Bookish Thoughts: Reading to Kids

My parents were so good about reading to me. I’m not sure if that made me the reader I am today, but it sure did broaden my imagination and give me good one-on-one time with my parents.  I plan on reading to my little guy all the time and he better learn to love it! [...]

Bookish Thoughts: Home again, home again!

Bookish Thoughts: Built-in Bookshelves

Built-in bookshelves make me drool.
We’ve been tentatively house shopping for the last couple of months, and nothing gets me excited faster than some built-ins.

I need this in my life.
