OMG! It is taking me forever to read one. single. book. Before Baby BV came (when I was still pregnant) I thought I’d still be able to read as much as I did during my pre-Baby BV days. WRONG. I forgot how much attention babies need (and deserve). She’s just too darn cute! I can’t resist the cuteness!!

How was your November? Leave a comment with the link to your wrap up post and I’ll stop by 
I'm working full-time now so I didn't have that great of a month either, just seven I think! But you still did great! I know how much time babies eat into our reading time (but they totally deserve it)!
ReplyDeleteHappy reading!
My November and now my December is an epic blogger fail. LOL
ReplyDeleteI'm just burned out and using the holidays as an excuse to take it easy.
I think you accomplished quite a bit!
Love the hair too.
I love your haircut! So cute!
ReplyDeleteI only joined two challenges this year and came up short on both. Dang!
@A Simple Love of Reading
ReplyDeleteIt was hard to find time to read when I was working full time. The hour long commute each way didn't help either since I drove (I get car sick easily so I have to drive). Hope you find some reading time :)
@Karen
ReplyDeleteYeah, the holidays slow down my reading as well. Lots to do. Hopefully next month (January) I'll be able to find more time to read.
@Tammy
ReplyDeleteI'm only doing 4-5 challenges in 2012. No more doing 14 challenges for me. That was just crazy.
wow! awesome awesome AWESOME! :D way to go lady you got a lot done!
ReplyDeleteI love the new do! Looks great on you! I think you'll be able to read more once she gets a little older. And I am proud that you even kept track of your challenges. I didn't. :(
