✨ Author & Illustrator Spotlight

In what is quickly becoming an AI generated world, it is so refreshing to find an author/illustrator that is still creating beauty with her hands. 💕

I have been a fan of @tabithapaigekids books for many years, but was thrilled when she sent me a box of books to check out! 😍

My toddler has enjoyed these books so much! Not only are they great for learning new words, but we love that they can also be used as seek and find books.

The illustrations are gorgeous watercolors and so realistic, which my kids are always drawn to. 💕

Books pictures:

• Wishy Washy
• Our Big Book of Words
• Our Big Book of Sports

👉🏽 Have you read any of Tabitha's books?

Homeschool Week 🌸🌱⤵️

This school year I realized how poor I am at capturing the little moments of our homeschool days. So when I saw these homeschool "week-in-the-life" recaps floating around IG and thought it would be so fun to do. 💕

This week was a fairly typical week - filled with daily lessons and lots of time outside. We have been loving our morning read aloud time so much and finished some amazing books this week. 🫶🏽

Also, I want to say that these posts aren't to paint a perfect picture of our days. This week we had tears over spelling words, long talks about respecting each other, and bad attitudes (mainly on my end).
These posts are to remind me that there is beauty and that we are learning, even when it feels like it's hard to see. 🥰

✨ How much do we have in common?

There are so many new faces around here so I thought it would be fun to do a little intro and meet you too! 🫶🏽

I apparently like a lot of things that involve home - stay at home mom, homeschooled, homeschooler, introvert. 🤣 Also, clarification: my library is more like over 2,000 books but I'll keep it the same.

I think the total points available is 425! But I'm also bad at math. 😁🤣

👋🏽 Let me know your totals!!

Thanks to my friend, Jessica @lifegivingpages for the post inspo! 💕

💕 Valentine's Day books ⤵️

Valentine's Day is coming up! I hear so often that there isn't any reason to celebrate because it's such an overly commercialized holiday.

But Valentine's Day is rich with history and it's also about more than chocolate and roses. So let's focus on the love that God has given us and show our kids how to reach out to those around us. 💕

👉🏽 Comment "Valentine" for my full book list!! It will come to your inbox.
