Our little one loves a good book.  She has a small library to choose from.  Roughly 90% of her bookshelf holds tough board books that can take a good beating from a 15 month old.  The other 10% are normal weighted paper that I monitor closely.  Regardless, if it is board book or paper, she shows no discrimination when it comes to pealing off a piece of a cover, a corner of a page or flap hiding a pink elephant.  Every few days I get out my packing tape and work my giggleFritz magic! 😉

I am not angry that I have to mend these books.  I have always taken good care of the books in my possession.  I have taught the same to my oldest daughter and will teach our new little one when she is old enough.   I like working with the paper anyway, and I am not fond of throwing away any book.  I am actually just glad that we are using these books and “loving” the crap out of them so much, that they need some maintenance once in a while.

In other news, my tomato plants I planted last week, are up!  They peaked their heads out of the soil on Monday.  Also, I planted some marigolds last Saturday and those popped up this morning.  I was surprised by the marigolds.  That is only 4-5 days they needed to sprout.  I am very proud of the start of my little garden.  I can’t wait to have a garden on the land that I live on.  It has always been a plot on someone else’s land and I would have to drive over to maintain/water/weed/pick.  For the first time I will be able to walk outside my back door and putz around in my garden!!

Tomatoes popped up!

So, I am off to do great things!  I have a few things in the works I am hoping to finish up and share with you soon.

Have a great day!
