knocking on wood.

serena is the best sleeper!

for the last few weeks, she has gone to bed between 8:00 and 9:00 and slept until 6:00 or 7:00. it has been heaven. she's a lot hungrier in the day, but we can deal with that :)

this past week she has been napping in her crib, too. i haven't really tried this until recently. i would let her nap on the couch, floor, bed, carseat, or wherever she happened to fall asleep. now i put her in her crib, usually wide awake {but grumpy}, and she goes right to sleep!

i am one happy {and well rested} mama.

don't stop believin'.

book covers.

gift bags + masking tape = book covers, high school style

♥

i am guilty of judging books by their covers. this is why i couldn't bear to read my new {used} copy of pride & prejudice with a green pen stain on the front of it. thus, the book covers. it took a few tries to remember how we did it back in high school, but now my books are fancy and i can read to my little heart's content!
