As far as I am concerned, the year officially begins in February. January is essentially one long recovery from the hectic holiday season. It is basically a hangover. A physical, emotional and financial hangover. Which is why I have such a hard time making resolutions in January. I need a buffer zone between Christmas indulging and the responsibility and effort that a new year brings.
I know that New Year’s resolutions can be a bit controversial. Some people swear by them, but many see them as a giant trap that you will eventually give up by March. Personally, I consider resolutions not to be challenges, but as a way to zero in on areas of your life you want to work on. And for the record, resolutions don’t need to be serious and scary. Trust me, they can be fun.
Snow days can offer beautiful sights, as well as a chance to have all kinds of winter fun. We get a lot of snow where we live, so I love finding children’s books about snow that celebrate all the beauty and fun that winter brings. Today’s book is a tribute to all the fun of playing in the snow, and we paired it with some awesome snowy activities!
I believe that teaching kids to be kind is one of the most important things that we can do for them. It doesn’t cost anything to be kind, and it not only helps those around them, but benefits them as well. There are lots of fun ways to teach kids how to be kind, and I have always loved finding new 
The start of winter can be exciting. As some animals begin to hibernate, others get to enjoy the snow and and the beauty and excitement that it brings with it. Today’s book follows a sweet little owl as he experiences his first snow, and we paired it with some fun winter and owl crafts for kids.
I am always so excited to check out new children’s books, and we have had the opportunity to check out some amazing books this year. I decided it would be fun to let my daughter pick out her favorite children’s books of 2018!
Wintertime brings some beautiful sights. From shimmering icicles to smooth frozen ponds, the snow and ice can create a lovely view. While some animals are out enjoying the winter weather, others hide away until the warmer spring days. Today’s book follows a young hedgehog who wants to enjoy all the beauty of winter like the other animals. This children’s book on winter weather gave us the perfect activity to create some winter wonderland crafts.
Does your family celebrate Kwanzaa? I am always interested in teaching my daughter about different holidays and traditions, and children’s books are my go to resource! I decided to gather this list of children’s books about Kwanzaa to help families learn more about the holiday!
I love the holidays! Holiday books make up a large part of our collection of Christmas books. To help families get into the holiday spirit and keep learning during the Christmas season, I decided to gather some of my favorite Christmas books and activities for families to enjoy together!
Do your kids enjoy figuring out how things work? Encouraging that curiosity is a great way to inspire a love of learning and maybe start them on a lifelong love of engineering. My daughter has always had an interest in how things work. So I am always on the lookout for books and toys that encourage her to explore and tinker. So when I had the opportunity to check out Brackitz blocks, I was thrilled with how well they would pair with some of the best engineering books for kids!
