Thanksgiving Children’s Books

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 Bucket List Printables

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.

I am well into my third trimester of pregnancy now and my water has not broken – hooray! The weekly progesterone shots seem to have worked and every day that I can keep this baby developing inside me is a win.
