March's Challenge - Reading!

I used to love to read. I used to read a variety of books and magazines. I used to read often.

Sadly, ever since I've had children. reading has been delegated to the bottom of the list of things that need or I want to do; nothing more than a luxury. I used to lay in bed on Sundays and the read the paper. I used to cuddle up in my favorite chair and read a novel. Don't get me wrong, I read and I read often to my children, but when one of my favorite books is The Gruffalo it might be time to consider broadening my horizons.

As my oldest son is getting better and better at reading I want him to see me reading more than work materials. My youngest two already enjoy looking at books and being read to, but I want them see me more often with a book in hand that is just for me. Not to mention, the list of books I want to read just keeps growing without anything being crossed off.

So March's challenge is to read. The rules are simple - no newspapers, no magazines, no journals (I do this every day for work). Not on my phone, not on my omputer or other e-reader. I will read a book for pleasure 30 minutes a day for the next 30 days. My list of books won't be pure non-work related reading, but they will be ones I'm choosing to read for pleasure.

I have a stack by my nightstand and I've placed my order with the library. I'm ready for March's 30 Day Challenge.
