Children't Books Read This Week



This week we didn't read many books. We have been busy! Catching up after a busy weekend, helping Daddy on a job, and making the 30 minute drive twice a day to church to drop off and pick up Monkey so he could attend camp didn't leave much time for anything above surviving the normal dishes, laundry, pick up toys routine. Plus I had to use my time wisely of only having one child around and spent that time getting their closet mostly cleaned out. More and more junk gone!

Books Read This Week


Blue Chicken

I read this to Goose one night and it was super cute. I loved how the book was coming to life and the chickens were causing big messes for the illustrator. Plus with Goose still figuring out his colors we got to talk about what colors the animals were and what colors they changed into. Over all it was a cute book to read.






Five Little Chicks

I picked out this book for Goose because it has counting as part of the story. He's picking up things a little slower that Monkey did but life wasn't quite as crazy when Monkey was two. It was just me and him home most days by ourselves. I try to make sure that when I pick out stories that we can still use them for learning above just enjoying the story. This story has a great story line too. Mama chicken teaching her five little chicks the way of life. You can see mama chickens love for her chicks throughout the whole book. I love books like this one!



Chicken and Cat

The boys have enjoyed "reading" this one. Goose I think has had the most fun with it. It's a cute book with only pictures. So Goose will go and grab it and tell me everything that is happening on the pages and just laughs at the silly things Chicken and Cat do. I almost didn't pick up the book from the library because Monkey is working on reading so words are an important part to that but I figured this would give him the chance to make his own story up and that's an important part of learning too.

Books For Next Week

Since we didn't get through all our books this past week we will be spending another week learning about chickens. If it wasn't for the fact that we have baby chicks and full grown ones outside we might just return them and try another time. But we need to do our reading on these so we can make sure we are caring for the our animals the best way we can. Click here for more chicken books!

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 ...
