I find explaining most topics to my children can usually be made easier with books. In this instance, a weird and ridiculous holiday, Groundhog Day is described in these children’s picture books usually through funny stories. Often there are facts about the holiday in the back of the books that help further the understanding as well. Here are the children’s books about Groundhog Day that we’ve enjoyed.
Back in October, the kids and I tagged along to Minneapolis on my husband’s work conference trip. Several things were rough about the trip (baby refusing to sleep, horrible parking ramps, hotel pool closures, etc) but the outings I planned during the day were awesome! If you find yourself in the Twin Cities with young kids you might want to check them out.
This year I read 77 books mostly on my Kindle, a number of them as audiobooks, and one as a paper copy. I was so desperate to read the third book in a series that I checked it out from the library when I couldn’t wait for my hold on Libby any longer. Surprisingly, this year I became a fantasy girly. I felt very worn out with historical fiction and fantasy filled in that gap with a vengeance. Below are my top 12 books that I read in 2023. Let me know in the comment section what some of your favorite reads were this year!
These seasonal weekly calendars are the most used and requested printables I have ever made. I don’t go a day without looking at our weekly calendar. Each week it’s filled out with our schedule posted prominently on our refrigerator. The calendars help with reminders of all kinds (school, medical appointments, activities, etc) and help facilitate communication between myself and my husband. Plus, every night at dinner we glance over at it to discuss the next day’s plan with our kids. I hope you find these calendar printables as helpful as we do.
