Children's Books Read This Week


I'm always looking for good book suggestions for my boys. I love reading to them and Monkey is doing really well with reading books himself too. I figured since I'm going to start telling you about the books that I'm currently reading that I would share the books we are reading as a family as well. I didn't keep track of all the books we read this week but we have already got our library books for next week so I can share them at the end.
Books Read This Week

Charlotte's Web
We've been working on Charlotte's Web for a few weeks now. I will read chapter to the boys while they are swinging on the swing set or while they are playing in the pool. It's a fun way to add in stories while they get their wiggles out too. 

A great beginning reader book. As a level 2 book it offers some larger words to help your new reader stay challenged in their reading. Monkey likes this books with it's pictures and the ease of reading of it.



Dr. Seuss is a huge hit in our house. Monkey loves reading these books. He spent a week working on finishing this one. He would read part of it and then take a break and forget where he was so he'd start all over again. Finally I helped him remember his pages so he could finish the book!

Books For Next Week

Can you see a theme for this next week? We are going to be learning all about chickens and chicks. Maybe we should have done some of this reading before we actually had them but it's better late than never. I love mixing fun fiction stories involving the main theme for the week along with older non-fiction books to help us learn as well. It's a great way to do school without feeling like we are actually doing school. This week should be full of fun. I'll let you know what I think about the books after we read them!

Happy Father's Day!

Today is father's day and most people are getting together and celebrating with family. Dads, grandpas and uncles all celebrating together the joys of being a father. Maybe getting a chance to relax and enjoy just sitting around watching the kids play and being surrounded with family. That's what father's day has always looked like for us. We would always gather at my parents house. First, with my grandparents when I was growing up for dinner and a day of enjoying being together. Then as I grew older my sister and I would make sure to spend the day with our dad. Then we got married and had kids of our own and the tradition continued. We would bring all the kids and enjoy BBQing at my parents house enjoying time together. This year things are different.We can't just jump in the car and head over for a BBQ. We can't sit around on the couch or on the patio talking and laughing together. This year we are 12 hours away from where I've always been for father...

Week #2 on THM

Well it's officially the end of week 2 on Trim Healthy Mama! I have tried some more new recipes from the book and from pinterest and I'm having so much fun with it. I also order some xylitol online to save money. I didn't realize how much sweetener I would be using but when you can make sweets for any meal or snack through out the day you can use quite a bit. Favorite Meals this week E pancakes from the book! Yum! I added in frozen berries to them while cooking and they were great and the boys loved them too. They got to have the added whipped cream or syrup on theirs. Fat Stripping Frappa! OMGOSH! This is going to be my go to summer morning drink! I can see myself making one of these up first thing in the morning to get my day going and then enjoying a yummy breakfast 3 hours later. Soon as warm weather hits Hubby's schedule will be packed full daily so my mornings will start early, like 5am early! So having a breakfast at 8:30 will be perfect timing! Cheese ...
