Weekend Links

I wish I could find this online to share. It was a Christmas clearance at Barnes & Noble.

The focus of today is books. I have always loved reading, and I still can’t believe I get to work in a library! It is so much fun to open the pages of a book and be transported to a whole different world. Some stories make you smile. Some break your heart. Some inspire you. I’m so thankful that all of our girls have developed a love of reading.

I’ve been working on my Goodreads profile. It’s a fun and easy way to keep track of what books you have read/want to read/currently are reading. If you are over there, I’d love to connect! I don’t count the books I read to my kids or audiobooks in my book goal. Do you? My goal this year is to read 50 books.

Speaking of books– Janssen always has the best printables. I printed small versions of this reading log for each member of the family. We are coloring a book with each that we finish for the year. I really want to have a giant one made. You can also snag some book quote printables for free.

The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis has a Mo Willems exhibit opening next month!! Sign me up!! Elephant and Piggie books were some of the first my girls read on their own. They played a huge part in developing a love of reading.

What are you currently reading? I picked up The Great Gatsby to read for the first time. Something about entering the 20s made me want to read it. I read a LOT of the classics in college. Unfortunately, I don’t remember much from them since I took such a heavy course load and worked full time.

It’s been a rough week in our house, and I’m feeling very thankful for the weekend. We are supposed to get up to 4 inches of rain tonight and tomorrow, which is bananas! It’s been a very warm winter so far, and I’m not mad about it. Happy weekend, friends!!
