You read sitting in the toilet. You read while you blow dry your hair. Use the hair pins to prop the book open. You read while you cook - put book in cookbook stand and just make something you know. Pack your book in your purse - there are myriad 2 minute reading opportunities and you'd be amazed how many pages you can go through that way. You also read your books to your child as night time literature. Mine sometimes listens intently. If I give words the right intonation, it's all the same to him. Also, think about what a great thing you are doing by improving your child's vocabulary. Lastly, don't sleep, read the whole night through. If the book is good enough, you will not even notice the lack of shut-eye. There, I think I've shared all my tricks. Good luck and tell me how you manage your reading from now on. Not that I need a review from you to think you're super smart. Here is how you do it. You read sitting in the toilet. You read while you blow dry your hair. Use the hair pins to prop the book open.

I am "have no blog Erin". :-} only Tully's Mama and KK can tell us apart I am sure. I am so wanting that teething ring necklace thing- Katherine has about chewed off my finger so this would be a fab alternative (of course she doesn't want the other 4 thousand teething toys I have) and as far as reading...umm..my books are being used as coasters...or doorstops...or just put out to make it look like I read. but I really do love to read- just too tired...if one could only read while sleeping I would be golden. here's to a leak free vacation ! xo two Erin's?

Brilliant! My little girl reaches for my necklace every chance she gets and needless to say it isn't really baby safe. Oh, and I'm totally with you and those Starbucks crazies. There's probably another coffee shop right next door! OR Live without your caffiene fix for three short hours! Sheesh! The necklace teether. Brilliant!
