Book List

We love to read and think that it is super-duper important! That being said, we find every opportunity that we can to read to our little ones, Jay Bird and Charlie, with the hope that they will love reading too.

Getting a new book is nothing short of awesome. So if you want to buy Jay or Charlie a gift, check our wish list of books that we would love to add to our library.

Our home library is ever growing- which we LOVE. Take a look at what we already own…
