Favorite Books 2020-2021

September 22, 2022 By meredith Leave a Comment

EEEK! Welcome to my world of busy and the fact that I thought I posted this in 2021. Imagine my surprise I was preparing my 2021-2022 favorites lists (also super behind schedule) to discover this one never went public. Here it is... Over a year-let's be honest, nearly two years- late ALL books listed definitely still make me happy. I sometimes have the urge to revisit the Little House books … [Read more...]

How to Track What Your Family Reads

March 24, 2021 By meredith 1 Comment

Let me just preface this with this statement... You DO NOT have to track what your family reads! I'm simply sharing what's worked for my family, and trust me it's easy. If it weren't easy, I wouldn't be doing it. It does require a little extra step from me every now and then, but other than taking the minute I need to "track"the book there is no pressure. I think that's the key to making … [Read more...]

Read Aloud Recommendations

January 20, 2021 By meredith Leave a Comment

This post was written in September and discusses the first few read alouds we completed for the 2020-2021 school year. We are about six weeks into our school year and we’ve finished FOUR chapter books together already during our morning time! To say I’m excited (and actually somewhat impressed) is an understatement. I don’t know that we’ve ever read books that quickly. I’d love to share and one … [Read more...]

Visual Book Lists

July 31, 2020 By meredith Leave a Comment

Some links included are affiliate links, and I receive a small compensation if you purchase through them. Thank you for supporting my blog! I was perusing Instagram last week, and stumbled (once again) onto Carisa from 1plus1plus1's idea of creating a visual book list for her kids. All the credit for this idea definitely goes to her! She even created a super quick and very informative … [Read more...]

Morning Time

July 22, 2020 By meredith 2 Comments

I've mentioned many times in the past few weeks that my favorite part of our homeschool days are "morning time". Some homeschoolers refer to this as "morning basket". Essentially I'm doing the same thing they're speaking about, but since my books aren't housed in an actual basket, I call it morning time. Our morning time can take anywhere from an hour to an hour and a half. If we're on a … [Read more...]
