    What I Read I’m cranky. And I know it’s because I’m not putting enough time into actually reading. This week I finished both books from last week, and that’s it. I finished up The Losers at the Center of the Galaxy by Mary Winn Heider and I’m listening to Three…

    Top Ten Tuesday

    I’m a huge fan of funny picture books! I especially love books that are as entertaining to me as a read aloud as they are to the kids I’m reading to. Not all funny picture books work well reading aloud to a large group, especially those that depend heavily on…

    What I Read Well, I’m 3/4 of the way through two books, so I guess that’s good? It was a really busy week, so my reading life got pushed to the back burner just a bit. My sister is getting married in June and we spent the long weekend trying…

    What I Read I definitely read off-plan this week! I’m not going to argue too much, because I did get some reading done. It just wasn’t what I planned on reading! But, honestly, as long as I’m reading, I’m happy. Considering, I also worked all day on Saturday, having read…

    What I Read I definitely do as much reading as I have been. It’s surprising how much less time I’ve had because of all the snow we got! I lost track of how many times we shoveled from Sunday – Wednesday. We ended up with about 14 inches of snow…

    This week’s theme of books written before I was born was such a fun way to visit some of my favorite stories growing up. I was born in the mid 80s, so authors like the great Beverly Cleary and Judy Blume had written some absolutely amazing books for kids. Children’s…
