This blog for me is an opportunity to record my favorite sites, topics, ideas, and adventures as a mother and homemaker. It makes for easy access when I forget something and makes it easier for me to share my thoughts (not having to repeat it ten times or write 3 emails of the same information). Lately, I've had so many things to post about! I admit that while the two's can be terrible, it's a budding time of learning for mommy and toddler! Now that I have two children, the new learning seems to happen everyday (and the growing pains at least once a week if you know what I mean).
Looking over my list, I realized how silly it will be for me to post in the fall about summer reading. So, while you may not be able to take advantage of all of the ideas below (because half of the summer is over), at least it will be a resource and idea bank for next year's summer reading. Enjoy!
1. Check out your local library. Most libraries have a summer reading program. I just love the one here in Provo! They have great incentives, you set your own time goal, and it's for all ages! Why limit summer reading to children in school2. Barnes and Noble
3. Borders
4. Pottery Barn
5. State government - Ours is UTAH
Here are five things I LOVE about summer reading:
1. You can take a book almost anywhere. It fills in those gaps on long road trips. I love bringing books in the car (and if you get carsick, bring a book on tape).
2. A book can take you almost anywhere. When you're a new mom and can't enjoy usual summer activities, a book is a great vacation.
3. Libraries & bookstores have air conditioning and my sweet little house doesn't.
4. It's FREE!! Doesn't cost you a thing to check out a book (just get it back on time), or do a book swap. Even used bookstores and Amazon.com give you more than reasonably priced entertainment.
5. It gives you something to talk about. I love reading book series with my hubby and discussing our favorite parts, themes, writing styles, etc.
