I\'m Summer, a mouthy, sarcastic bitch. I\'m passionate about natural birth, long term breastfeeding, and living naturally. I curse too much, love tattoos, and will some day be crushed to death by my book collection. I homeschool, dream of gardening, and swing to the left. 
Books books books!
So, remember my hub Frugal Living Tips? The one with the great ideas on how to be frugal? I think it is time to come up with a part 2, for myself! Except this one will deal with how to be frugal when there are so many awesome things out there you want to get your kids. LOL
Seriously, why do there have to be 20 billion books out there that I would love the boys to have? And why does the local library seem to have none of them? In my mind I have dreams of the boys having massive book collections full of cherished favorites that will be praised for decades. Or at least have a good sized collection of books that they’ll love to pass on to their own kids.
I’ve begun planning out what books I want to add this fall to the lineup. E is such a book worm, like his mother. We could spend the day reading, if it weren’t for that pesky sunshine begging us to come out and play. I think everytime we are in the house I am being begged for a story, then just one more, just one more, just one more. I really should make more time to read to him, especially sicne he loves it so much and on average boys are less likely to be book worms when they are older.
Now, if I can work past the books then maybe I can focus on not gettign so excited over every cool toy I find. I tell myself that at least i’m going ga-ga over wooden, all natural toys. Pieces of plastic withlights and noises makes my head hurt too much. But a hand carved wooden doll house with handmade dolls! Can I buy 2? Looks like I need to learn how to resist advertising pressure to buy more toys for my child.
