Good Morning Monday + Books for our children

Good Morning Monday + Hello New Week!

We’re already on the halfway mark of 2014, hop scotching on June.

So, how was your weekend? Did you rest, rejuvenate and replenish? We did just that. We burned our to-do lists, and stayed in the moment. Reading books and news features. Going for long walks and talking. Resting and just being. After a week packed with birthday and farewell parties, late nights and lots of socializing, taking some time out to burrow in our ‘lair’ and recharging our batteries seemed like just the thing to do.

This past week, I’ve also been reading a lot, and searching for new books to add to Baby N’s library. Story books for babies. Activity & Idea books for kids. Even though N is a little over 10-months, we read a book or two every day. Picture books with beautiful pictures and bright stories.

I’d love to raise a reader and reading to him & giving him a rich array of story books to choose from is my way of introducing Baby N to the fascinating world of books. 

These are recommendations and reviews to some lovely books, if you’re looking to build up your child’s home library:

Here are 6 activity books for kids that I’d Lurrve to add to Baby N’s collection. Like bright packages of candy, these are chockfull of interesting ideas that I’d like to incorporate in our daily art & craft hours.

These 4 picture books seem ideal for our story time. We’ve got book 4 – Lost and Found by Oliver Jeffers (as well as its sequel) – for N, and the other 3 will follow in the weeks to come.

I’ve been lounging around this beautiful and bountiful book blog for the past several years, hopping over every now and then to read reviews of new children’s books that I’d like to add to my collection. Yes, that’s right. My collection. I’ve been buying picture books to read for many years – all of which are part of N’s treasures now.

What do you read to your kids? I’d love to hear about your book recommendations!
