If you’re like me, you are always looking for book recommendations for elementary kids. I try to share what my son is reading at least onece or twice a year! I can’t believe we are about to start 4th grade. It seems so….big. But alas, here we are. Over the last few months, my son… [Read More]

This post contains affiliate links. As most of you know, Mr. A is an AVID reader and rarely without a book. I get asked at least once a week for book recommendations for boys and girls in his age-range. So I figured it was time to do another update in hopes of helping other parents find… [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]
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.

Books for preschoolers and kindergarteners
“You’re never too old, too wacky, too wild, to pick up a book and read with a child.” It’s Read Across America Day today and the celebration of Dr. Seuss’s birthday. I know the kids are celebrating at both of their schools this week, but we’re also talking about it at home. I’ve been an… [Read More]
Don’t worry about what your kids read; just worry that they read
Judy Blume, my favorite childhood author, has it right. Parents worry “much too much” about what their children are reading. I’m a reader. I always have been. As a child, I voraciously gobbled up every word, every paragraph, every book I could get my hands on. In the 2nd or 3rd grade, I read Are… [Read More]
My Smutty Summer Reading List
I’ve read eight books this summer. Of those books, one was a parenting book and most of the others were smut – pure, sexy, entertaining smut. I had grand plans to read other books, but for whatever reason, it’s not what ended up in my Nook library. I started with Entwined With You, which is… [Read More]
