Halloween is such a fun holiday. Tons of candy, costumes, and no stress! Here are some children’s books about Halloween that my kids have enjoyed.
Sometimes I reflect upon reading in general and my love for it. I can’t fathom not enjoying reading. How would I get through chores I hate without an audiobook in my ear? How could I stand to be in the car for hours without numerous books downloaded to my Kindle? Most importantly, how could I ever shut my brain down at night to sleep if I didn’t read before bed? Books are the greatest. Here are my four reviews for the month of September.
My youngest daughter took ballet this past year and it was adorable. I was a dancer from early childhood until the end of high school and I was so excited to hear that my three-year-old wanted to try ballet. Seeing her dance recital brought me an immense amount of joy. I’m not sure she’ll choose to continue with lessons in the future but I sure hope she will. Here are the ballet books we have really enjoyed reading together.
It’s back-to-school time and I like to help prep my kids by reading books. These children’s books are great to read before starting kindergarten but some are perfect for any young children! These picture books showcase the fun activities you do at school plus a few address coping skills if your child is experiencing any anxiety about starting school.
Last year before my daughter started preschool I wanted to prepare her as much as possible for the transition. I knew she would be nervous and I think the more you read about what to expect for any situation the better. Together we read through a bunch of children’s books about preschool to help prepare her.
