Our family of audiobook Junkies

Audiobooks have become a staple at our house. We eat, we sleep, we listen to books, we read, and then, well, everything else. They are some of my favorite treasures since they bring so much peace and  happiness to our family in the car, while we Lego, lounging in the backyard, snuggling under blankets, and just about everywhere we like to hang out all together.
