summer reading

Summer always seems like a fun time for reading, with trips and little get aways... I don't know about you, but I have a hard time reading more then one book at a time, and since I have been reading New York, consisting of 860 pages, I haven't really read anything else for quite awhile. I am nearing the end of it and I have a few books that I am looking forward to starting and so I wanted to share my list with you:

If you have any books that are on your list or that you have enjoyed, please share them with me. I love adding titles to my stack♥.

highlighting a favorite in our house...

Recently, a friend of mine asked me what a day looks like with Ryder and can I just say that I should have just given her this book title. We read it SO MANY TIMES during the day. It goes with him in the car while we do errands, it sits on our table while he eats his meals, and it sits on the sink while he bathes. I have the darn thing memorized because we have read it so often. I remember it when I was little and something about the simple story and the voices that it allows the reader to do must be why it is one of our favorites.

(However, is it bad if I have the urge to hide it so that I can have a little Grover break...?)

Gardening...

Last year we relocated our garden and so this year we just decided to grow tomatoes due to the space that we had. There is nothing like a vine ripe tomato from your garden! Ryder really enjoys his with fresh mozzarella. (A kid after my own heart...)

Our tangelo tree is also giving us some tasty goodness and Ryder just LOVES them!

Now we are just waiting for our avocados to ripen...

Guacamole here we come!

I hope you have a chance to try it!
