The Nook

Chet and I LOVE reading.  We both read non-stop and always have.  Hoping to pass on our love and encourage a wonderful past time to our boys we decided to invest in a Nook.  Yep, I know it's a big investment but you gotta do what you gotta do. . . . What Chet?  No way?! Really?!  Well, apparently there is some new fangled widget that is also called a "Nook".   Yep, I looked it up and sure enough this is a “Nook”:

Whoulda thunk it?!  I think our Nook is waaaaaay better.  Here it is!

Originally it was going to go in Robbie’s room and be a book nook but due to stairs, heftiness of the piece, and such it landed in the play area. So instead of being solely for books it holds toys also. Here is the before and after.

Here are a few of my favorite details. The material and knobs.

Four more things I love!

And here is Robbie knowing just what to do with it!

Doing all I can to make reading more enjoyable!

June Menu

I've been planning weekly menus for several years now and finally decided it was time to step it up.  So here is my first shot at a monthly menu!  Much of it stays the same week to week to make things easier and keep costs down. Next I need to add fish back into our diet and throw in a few salads for dinner!
