All Through My Town is written by Jean Reidy and illustrated by Leo Timmers. This fun book is full of beautifully detailed drawings and a fun rhyming rhythm. After we read through the story, we like to go back and look at details on each page, like the neat rows of bread, the scene in the cafe, or the water from a hydrant filling up a car. Each time we read, we find something new to talk about. This is a board book, so, it holds up against rough handling by small people.

Book time! Here is another one of our favorite books. Who Is Driving is written and illustrated by one of our favorite artists, Leo Timmers. We got this book for our eighteen month old son, but my four year old loves it too. Each vehicle has a number of possible drivers, and older kids will quickly memorize who drives what, but what we love about Leo Timmers is his attention to detail. Parents and kids can look at which clothes each driver is wearing, and guess who is be

Another one of our favorites at bedtime is Little Blue Truck Leads the Way by Alice Schertle and illustrated by Jill McElmurry. This book is about a little blue truck's experience in the big city. It has a great rhythm and rhyme that makes it fun to read, and easier for my kiddo to read along too. This story also has a lot of interesting people, cars, and objects to identify and talk about. Our little guy points out things we have not shown him as well. For instance, if

All the World, written by Liz Garton Scanlon and illustrated by Marla Frazee, has beautiful illustrations and well written rhythm that keeps my kiddos bouncing with the rhymes. There is a lot going on within these small pages, giving me and my little ones all kinds of things to identify and talk about. Different times of day, weather, clothes, tools, food, instruments, and more. I hope this little board book is a happy addition to your shelf. #alltheworld #lizgartonscanlon

This is one of my must haves in the nursery. It's great to be able to shine a light on my little one, so I can easily see where I need to, and get him cleaned up quick, and in a fresh diaper. Most likely the changing station is going to be against a wall. When I'm standing in front of the changing area where my baby is resting, I am blocking the light from the overhead light, making it harder to see what I am doing. This is especially true in the wee hours of the morning,

My second boy is a lot bigger than my first. The slender pajamas my first son wore are too slim for my second son. First, I paired a long sleeve onesie with these swaddles, but soon he no longer fit the largest bodysuits they make. As a work around, I got these long sleeve shirts and pair them with a Love to Dream Swaddle without the wings so his arms are free. The long sleeve shirt fits easily over his head and over his arms, and the swaddle keeps his legs and toes cover
