Summer Reading List {2020}

Ahhhh....summer when responsibilities seem to disappear? Okay, maybe not disappear, but at least chores don't seem to be as important, right? 

Although we all probably have mixed feelings about this Spring's Shelter in Place, I have been grateful for the extra reading time!

Five Things I'm Lovin' This Month! {March 2020}

Who is shaking their head that it's we're already in the third month of 2020?! Since 2020 started Luke has learned to walk, talks up a storm and eats everything in sight! I can't imagine what the next three months will bring!

I'm here to share a few things I hope you fall in love with this month, too!

My Top 10 Books of 2019

I'll be honest...I'm very surprised that I was able to read at all this year while having an infant at home. But thanks to Luke falling asleep the second the car started humming, I spent a great amount of time sitting in the car waiting for him to wake up! Plus, I can't fall asleep each night without reading at least a few pages of a book. 

So, I'm sharing my Top Books of 2019!

The Best Books for Teaching Gratitude for Toddlers

Looking back, I'm not sure exactly how my parents reinforced the concept of gratitude in our home growing up. However, I know that it was an important theme that ran through everything - from my mom cooking us dinner each night to my sister making my lunch to my dad going to every one of my sports events. 

I'm sure we had lots of conversations around the dinner table, after receiving presents from people, and maybe even being reminded when we weren't always grateful for things!

Summer Must Reads List {2019}

As a kid, I may have been one of the only kids who was STOKED to get a summer reading list for the upcoming year! {Looking back, I wish I had paid more attention to those Classics the teachers assigned!}

So every summer, I still create a Summer Reading List to challenge myself to keep my brain workin' in the sunshine.

First things first…are you a Kindle/E-Reader reader or an actual book person? I’m a HUGE fan of the Kindle.  It is on me at all times so I’m never without a book. I have the Kindle Paperwhite…because I like to read in bed using the illuminated screen.  It really is worth the extra bucks!

My Favorite Books for Infants

It's pretty well-known among my friends that I'm a book nerd. I read everything - from Reader's Digest {yes, it's totally my favorite magazine!} to books from the NY Bestsellers List and everything in between.

Being a book nerd and a teacher, I am a HUGE proponent of early literacy. Kids need to see their parents read and be fluent models to grow as little readers of their own. A recent study published in Pediatrics found that toddlers interacted more with print books than eBooks. So having a print-rich baby library can definitely contribute to your child's future success.
