I am so excited to share my Usborne Books & More story with you today! I know a lot of multi-level marketing companies have put a bad taste in people’s mouths, and I’ll be honest and say after being a consultant for one MLM, I ended up leaving with lots of frustration and swore I […]

the new wooden train table
Back in February, I wrote a post called “The Wooden Train Table” and shared photos of Rylie playing with a train table and memories I had of playing with the train set I had growing up. I also shared that I was looking forward to purchasing a train set for Rylie one day. Several weeks […]

rylie’s first day of preschool + our curriculum plan
Rylie constantly impresses us with how quickly she picks things up, and with her turning 3-years-old this November, we decided it was time to start some light school work in addition to her daily learning of the world around her. Of course I went all out and took pictures of her. She was all about […]
best books for babies – usborne books & more
It wasn’t long ago that our home library was pitiful. And by “pitiful” I mean half a shelf of books that were not baby friendly. At all. I wasn’t enticed to read to our new baby girl because we simply didn’t have the right books. And then I got my very first Usborne Book and […]
color themed summer fun
July, the girls spent a lot of time doing housework and to-dos, so I wanted to do something fun for them on the last day of July that I’ve wanted to do since I became a stay-at-home mom. An activity with a theme. I love themes! Ever since I was a kid, themed parties / activities […]
panda face craft
July 12th is my grandpa’s birthday, and I guess you could say that panda bears were our thing. So to celebrate his birthday since he has passed, I thought it would be fun to make today panda themed for the girls. Books: Panda in the Park || That’s Not My Panda || That’s Not My Taller […]
summer read-a-thon 2019
Summer is almost here, which brings sunny days, lounging at the pool or beach, unstructured days and, unfortunately, that statement parent’s &/or caregivers dread – “I’m board.” Most kids love a challenge, which is why I am challenging kiddos to read 20-30 minutes a day for 10 days in June. Each child will receive a […]
book box – may 2019
This month in our monthly Book Box I intentionally got something that we could use to help educate Rylie. Usborne’s Lift the Falp My Busy Day book has been a fun, entrataining and educational way to help Rylie connect the dots in some day to day routines. Just this morning Rylie and I snuggled in […]
book box – april 2019
What I love about our monthly Book Box is that it gives us a fresh variety to our bookshelves. We’ve been wanting more story books and “Let’s Go To Playgroup” was a great and fun addition. I love the vivid and detailed pictures as well as the sweet story. Rylie also really enjoys telling us […]
