Just a Woman Raising Two Boys and a Husband While Working Full-Time, No Big Deal

One of my most favorite things to do is read with my kiddos (two energetic boys). My goal for my boys is 20 minutes a day of reading. Sometimes we have to get creative to hit that goal, and sometimes we don't hit it at all, but reading is a regular part of our everyday life. I encourage you to make it part of your everyday life as well. I hope you enjoy these books that my boys and I have loved, and let me know if you figure out the trick to having it all.

Oh, Brother...

Families come in all shapes and sizes, and all of them have their own bit of crazy. Some of us even get an extra dose of crazy, which makes everyday life really interesting. I have two boys, which is perfect for me and my husband. I'm not sure how either one of us would do with girls! These books feature new babies, brothers, and families.

Love Bugs

When my oldest son was just a little guy I would call him bug. I'm not sure why, and it didn't stick, but he was my little bug. There are so many books about love with pretty illustrations and great reminders of just how big love can be. Here are a few for you to enjoy with your little love bugs.

<p>Shimmering pages and the love between a parent and baby bunny are beautiful things.</p>
<p>Sometimes you just need a kiss. My littlest is full of hugs and kisses, and I'm usually the lucky recipient of them!</p>
<p>This pretty little book is written as a poem! What's not to love?</p>
<p>My littlest loved this book because it had kitties on the cover. I loved it because I love him.</p>
