I want to go to a napping house...

The Napping House


It's raining again here and being a lover of sunshine and warmth I am not too happy about it. On the bright side though I started my day off nicely with work and then a lot of hot green tea. I'm trying to cut back on my caffiene intake and I know that green tea is supposed to be a healthier energy booster. What do you drink in the morning? Days like today make me want to curl up under the covers and sleep until the sun comes out again. Do you like the rain or do you, like me, wish it could be perpetually sunny and 80+ degrees?

Bathtubs

A couple pages from King Bidgood's in the Bathtub and A truly adorable bathroom

This morning I decided (since it's Saturday and all) to skip taking a shower and take a bath instead. It was infinitely more relaxing and I am definitely going to try to do it more often. Do you like baths? Or are you an all showers all the time kind of person? Also, do you have a cool bathtub? Growing up, my neighbors across the street had (and still have) an amazing clawfoot tub which I have always been quite jealous of.

All of this talk about bathtubs reminds me of one of my most favorite children's books of all time, King Bidgood's in the Bathtub, written by Audrey Wood and Illustrated by her husband Don Wood. The story is truly charming and the illustrations are some of the best. The couple has also written many other wonderful stories which I'm sure I'll mention at a later date. Hope you're having a wonderful Saturday!
