A Snuggle extravaganza!

Reading has become one of my new favorite things to do lately. I know, I know… This is a very shocking thing for me to say. People who have known me for years are probably having to pick themselves off the floor from the shock of what I have just revealed. Truth be told, I never could have passed my literature tests and quizzes without my good pal Mary who used to have to recap the reading assignments from the night before so that I wouldn’t fail. And now look at me- enjoying books! Absolutely incredible!


I find reading to be especially enjoyable when I turn on the fireplace and snuggle up with a blanket and a good book. I started reading the Twilight series recently, and they are absolutely enthralling. So much so that I have to make myself turn off the light and go to sleep at night so I can at least get some sleep. The other night I sat down to read the second book in the series called “New Moon”, and I brought Adyson down on the floor with me. She was sleepy, so she fell asleep within just a few minutes. Sure enough two other members of our family came to join me. It was what I call a CUDDLE FEST! Here is a picture of us all snuggled together, reading a great book. (Me-the book holder, Adyson-the sleeping baby, Izzi-the fat cat, and Charlie-the drooling puppy).
If you havent found anything good to read lately, try the Twilight series written by Stephenie Meyer. Beware, though! They are very addicting. If a busy new mom like me has time to read, I bet you can find some time too. :)
Happy Reading!

  1. Oh my! I just realized I spelled Adyson's name wrong in the first comment I made. Oops, sorry. :( Have you read the Harry Potter books? (I'm pretty sure you have). I love them. I haven't tried the Twilight books, but would like to! And the cuddlefest sounds so fun, but why didn't Scott join in? Was he already asleep? :)

  2. Thanks for the credit.:o) It was my pleasure giving you the recaps and the answers. You had my back in math, afterall...
    So, I have really wanted to read the Twilight series. Do you own the books? Next time you are up or I am down (which we both know you will be up before I'll be down, unfortunately...), you should loan me the first book. I, too, would like to join the cult that it has become.
    Speaking of cuddle fest, Petey is really good at creating those with me. If I had a cat and a baby, I'm sure they'd like to join us, too. Maybe when Lottie is a little older and Em is ready to give her up for an hour or so, we can get the fest started!! ;o)
    Love you!
