Favorite Books

I love books and reading and I've made it a point to read to the girls every night since they were old enough to listen.   I really hope to instill in them the save love of reading. We've made almost weekly trips to the library since they were a little over a year and they love it, although they are usually more interested in playing on the computers or looking at CDs and videos than actual books. But they do love books and being read to.  I am linking up with Kelly's Korner today to share some of our favorite books, and I'm looking forward to getting some great ideas for new books for us.


Pinka/Purple/Golda/Silverlicious.  Just discovered there's an Emeraldalicious or something that we haven't read yet
 

All of the Olivia books, of course (one of my girls is named Olivia).
 
 
The Fancy Nancy Series
 

Sugar Would Not Eat It
They got this for their 4th birthday and love it.
 
 
 
Cars and Trucks and Things that Go
I never had this when I was a kid but a friend did and I loved it.  I made a point to make sure my girls have this and they love it, too.
 
 

 
They loved this one when they were younger.  Kayley called it "the flea book" and loved to find the flea on every page.

My son absolutely LOVES Cars and Trucks and Things That Go. It's such a great book although he's always sad that he can never find a carrot car or a pencil car in real life!

Transfer Anniversary

Today is the 5-year anniversary of my embryo transfer!  5 years ago today I became pregnant with my girls (I wrote about it in more detail a few years ago).  It was a Saturday that year, also. Olivia and Kayley at 3 days post conception (wish I knew which one was which): And Olivia and Kayley 5 years later: That photo is actually a few weeks old.  I tried to take one for today and this is what I ended up with: {Sigh}

First Snow of 2025

Yesterday it snowed for the first time this year.  I love when it snows when I don't have to go anywhere and can just stay home and admire it.  It snowed more today, and we took Kona out for a walk in the woods.  So pretty.

The Girls' Room

So it's kids' rooms this week at Kelly's Korner Home Tours.  Unfortunately, we haven't finished the girls' room make-over.  We recently transitioned from toddler beds to twins.  I would have loved to get bunk beds to save space, but the twin beds were given to us by friends of Paul's parents so we're making do.  They were wood-colored (oak, maybe?) so we painted them white.  It was challenging to figure out how to arrange their furniture because of the alcove/nook thingie on one side.  I couldn't do the obvious two beds perpedicular to the wall with a nightstand in between configuration, so I had to compromise. There are lots of finishing touches still to be done.  We need to replace their dresser, get a nightstand, put up a shelf (ledge) or two and some wall art, and curtains.  We're also going to paint.  I've had my heart set on purple for a long time, which is why I chose this bedding with some purple but not too much, but now...
