Savvy Toddler Mom

My second niece of the year arrived last night - hurrah!  Baby Grace is adorable.  Congrats to her mom and dad.

And no, I haven’t quite finished her quilt yet, but I’m close!  I’ve got the top completed (that’s the hard part), so now I just need to put it together and bind it.

In my not-sewing hours this week, I wandered into All Tucked In on Bountiful’s Main Street.  What a cute place!  Like The Tutoring Toy Shoppe, this place has a lot of different books — and a few toys, not to mention random shoes and clothing.  It’s a tiny little place down the block from the post office, but worth a look in.  The toot had a great time browsing with me.

Since we are talking about book stores, my all-time favorite is The King’s English on 1500 South and 1500 East in Salt Lake.  LOVE this store.  (That’s a command, not an editorial comment. LOL)  Not just for kids (far from it, actually), The King’s English does have an extensive children’s area.  Staff there know their stuff, too.  I love to ask for recommendations.

They are celebrating their 30th year in business on Monday, September 10th.  Don’t miss the 30% off sale.

Favorite book for a newborn?  This one: … okay, I can’t remember what it’s called now, and since the toot is asleep in the room where it is, it’ll just have to wait.  It’s a must-have, though.
