Book nook

I had an idea in my head of a little reading area for the girls while they are snuggled up in bed. I want to encourage them to read as much as possible. So, I decided to head up to Ikea in search for a reading light and book rack. Of course I did my homework. I scoured the internet for ideas. I found a blog of a gal who took Ikea spice racks (3.99 each!) and used them as book racks. Here was her post and here is mine:

Total for the project: $17.96

The girls love it!! They have wanted to go to bed early the past two nights so they can have reading time. This makes mommy happy. :)

I think you should start a craft blog! You could even add advertising and make a little money. :)
