Thirty books a day sounds like a lot until you understand how we actually fit it into our day. 📚

The biggest thing that made it manageable was that I wasn’t creating entirely new pockets of time just for reading. I was integrating books into routines that were already happening.

Eventually, the high chair became a booster seat, and the booster seat became a regular chair, but the reading stayed. By then, books were simply part of the rhythm they had known their whole lives. 🥹

For us, the key was not building our day around reading 30 books, but rather building reading into our everyday life.
