The holiday season is upon us and that can mean a lot of extra time for reading! Thankfully, I am a person who is able to read as a passenger in the car because I hate driving. Whether you are flying, driving, or relaxing at home I hope you find the perfect book(s) to keep you entertained. Below are my four book reviews for this month.
It’s no secret that I’m not a fan of winter. I despise the cold, the snow, and how everything looks dead. The only way to help keep my spirits lifted during the season is to have fun activities to look forward to. By creating a winter bucket list full of events to attend, food to enjoy, and family fun activities, winter becomes slightly more bearable. You’ll find free printables below to help create your own winter bucket list.
I love reading holiday books to my children to help them prepare and get excited. I just started creating this list of children’s Thanksgiving books. The books on this list focus on the holiday featuring traditions and a little history. A few are about giving thanks and having gratitude. A lot of popular Thanksgiving picture books have a character like a turkey or a pilgrim but have nothing else to do with the holiday. I didn’t include those. Over time, this list will continue to grow as I find more books that pass my criteria and we enjoy.
I’ve definitely had some time to read these past few weeks. We brought our newborn home and my older children quickly came down with pneumonia, RSV, and COVID so I am isolating in our lower level with the baby. Below are the books I reviewed for October including a simple, cute romance perfect to read around Halloween.
Fall is growing on me more and more as I get older. The kids are back in school with routines, activities, and friends. The weather is gorgeous. Plus, the family fun activities in autumn are plentiful. I recommend creating a fall bucket list to ensure you don’t miss out on anything that makes the season enjoyable for you.
Below I have a blank fall bucket list printable (totally free) and a copy of the bucket list my family made this year for autumn if you would like a starting point.
