Did you know, if you read 1 book to your child a day they will have read 1,825 books by their 5th birthday!
Creating routine can be difficult as a first time mom, but eventually it feels like second nature! One of those important routines is reading a book a day. Sometimes, baby may be too tired and it's OK to miss it every once in a while, but it's so important to get into the daily habit early!
Here's a really good tip, instead of asking for cards for the baby shower, request people bring books and sign the inside cover with a special message! I did this for my baby shower and it was such a hit. It's heartwarming because you will forever have a special message written to your baby in that book. You can even read it to your child and remind them who wrote that message to them.

If you're unable to purchase a book shelf full of book remember that it's okay. Your local public library is an excellent resource for you and your family to borrow books from. One of my local libraries even had a special book buy day when they had too many books! They let families fill as many big brown bags for $1 with as many books as we could fit in a bag! Subscribe to your local library's newsletter or follow them on their social medias so you're aware of special events they will be hosting.
