My Favorite Books of 2019

My Favorite Books of 2019

I made it a goal to read 50 books this year. Not only did I hit my goal but I far surpassed it, as I’m at 70 books and hope to squeeze in one or two more before December 31. Not every book was awesome. Some were total duds, while others were simply fabulous reads…. [Read More]

What my child is reading, Vol 1

We have trip to Universal Studios coming up in August, and that means HARRY POTTER WORLD. Mr. A has read books 1-4, so he’s totally pumped for the trip, but Miss E doesn’t know a thing about it. So we decided to read the first book out loud as a family and it’s been awesome…. [Read More]

Keep track of summer reading with these printables

Keep track of summer reading with these printables

Last summer, I challenged my rising second-grader to read 50 books. If he did it, I’d take him to Target and he could buy something special as a reward. I knew it might be tough, but he LOVES reading and I figured it would be a good way to distract him from the tablet or TV… [Read More]

The one author your young children NEED to be reading

The one author your young children NEED to be reading

Mo Willems, in my opinion, should be the newest member of the legendary children’s authors hall of fame. I was first introduced to his books as a kindergarten teacher about 10 years ago and I have continued to follow his hilarious and lovable characters through their ups and downs ever since. What makes Mo Willems’… [Read More]

Books for Boys: Recommendations for ages 7-10

Mr. A is a reader, much like his mama was/is. The only problem with that is I’m constantly scrambling for appropriate reading material – for both his age and his interests. Thank goodness for Facebook and other blogs to tell me what other kids his age (and older) are reading. Right now he’s eight and… [Read More]

For the last few days, the forecast has shown 30% chance of snow but then it would quickly disappear. Em was devastated as she really wanted to see some snow this vacation. 
Mother Nature must have heard her because we woke up to this!

Every stage of parenting is hard. Every stage brings new challenges...and new joys. ❤️
This kid, my first baby, is growing up. He’ll be taller than me in no time and next year, we are off to middle school. I know a shift in the tide is coming. So for now, I’m going to cherish the moments when he reaches out for me and we walk hand in hand. I hope he knows I’m here for him, no matter what and that I’ll do my best to guide him through what’s to come.

I mean...look at the girl child. I just can’t with her. I think she’s ready for Halloween season.

These two had a blast at their first ever weekend retreat. I knew the boy child would be fine but wasn’t sure about the girl. 
Well they both loved it and had a blast. I think the boy is ready for sleep away camp!

She was “reporting” on Dorian. 😂
I may have a future meteorologist or news reporter on my hands. She’s been obsessed with the news and weather updates. #hurricanedorian
