The Moon {Obsession, Meet Book series}
We’ve had a long standing obsession with the moon, but it has gone through cycles 😉 Pun intended. We are now (in early elementary school) most interested in moon cycles and learning the name of the monthly moon and the…
It’s Natural: Nature Books for Kids
The “great” outdoors used to be a term that was lost on me. Kids change you. I now schedule our weeks with intentional outdoor time– whether exploring new hiking trails, seeking out nature classes, or just leaving margin in our…
Fabulous “F” Authors {Picture Book Tour}
In one of the libraries that we frequent, we have now rounded the corner to a new bookshelf with the passing of the “F” section! We’ve discovered some fabulous books on this stop! I hope you find some new gems…
Our Homeschool Preschool {Age 3-4}
I didn’t choose to homeschool for myself, the teacher. I chose it for my student, my son. And truly he is thriving. He has blossomed this year. But, surprisingly enough I am thriving, too. I think I’ve done a bit…
Monthly Book Log Blog {May}
We are in an incredibly sweet spot of reading with our bookworms (ages 4 and 2.5). It’s equal partnership now– me introducing books, and their requesting books to read. It’s our family culture and we are never without a bookmark…

Oceanography & Scuba Diving Books {Obsession, Meet Book Series}
“Divers! Divers! Divers!” This refrain has been endlessly repeated in my home over the past 3+ months by Toddler Bookworm, and also about two years ago for a long period of time when Preschool Bookworm was the exact same age.…
Action Rhymes: There’s More to Literacy than Books
A friend was asking about the action rhymes I mentioned on the blog. To which I said, “When did I talk about them?!” I’ve officially been blogging long enough that I’ve forgotten what I’ve written in the past. Actually, that milestone…
Fire Truck Books for Toddlers and Preschoolers {Obsession, Meet Book series}
I suspect that every person who has spent time with a young child can attest to the depth of emotion that a beloved object or topic can evoke: Squeals of pure delight at the sight of the moon. Refusal to…
