T...Thank you My Boaz's Ruth and welcome aboard! The books are my biggest challenge too. We ARE overrun by them :)<br />Some things we do -- we have seasonal book baskets. That way the winter/ holiday books are not cluttering in July and they are fresh and exciting again in December. We rotate them out by season and keep the off season ones in large plastic bins in the forepeak.<br /><br />Also, some of my book I have donated to the local library. That way I always know where to find them if I need them :)<br /><br />And of course -- the library in general is a golden resource. We try like crazy to find it there first, bring it home, decide good and hard whether they are worth buying. <br />My weakness is thrifting books. Who can resist when they are 3 for $1?!!boatbabyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11497671329115915673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21896267.post-56088030760845869162009-10-15T23:56:04.177-04:002009-10-15T23:56:04.177-04:00I'm going back and reading through your blog h...I'm going back and reading through your blog having just found it and I'm inspired by how you live in so LITTLE space!<br /><br />Keep writing, please!<br /><br />I wonder how you control the number of books? Books are overruning us right now (Toys are too but I have ideas how to handle that. I hate to get rid of a book!)MommyLydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15608956553350425075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21896267.post-24036592159475807832009-05-21T22:02:01.491-04:002009-05-21T22:02:01.491-04:00Seven C's - We love Astrid Lindgren here too.

Looking at the pictures, I see "The Children off Noisy Village" Our kids LOVE that one and have the video also.

It looks like he is experiencing (and being *allowed* to experience!) so much.

I love Z's adventures and I love the way you Mother. What an amazing life you have. I am a paper crafter and generally just scroll through my favorite blogs to look at their creations but I rarely read about them. But, first on my blog list are you and Soule Mama. So, while sipping my morning cuppa joe, I read of the adventures of two very wonderful women who raise their children in a way that I envy. Please, never stop sharing with us in blogland.
