Do you know THE GOLLY SISTERS?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I read these easy reader books as a child but forgot entirely about them until I saw them at my library a few months ago.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My girls are OBSESSED. We have read them over and over again and they laugh every single time - they’re just so utterly preposterous.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Have you read them?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

August 9th is National Book Lovers Day.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Last year, I hosted a free family event called GATHER TOGETHER AND READ and it was MAGICAL ✨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Families could come read with their kids, a couple of local authors came and we had a free book for every single person.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I fully planned on making it an annual event but I’ll have to wait at least until next year to make it happen again.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Today, I’m home reading by myself, which, to be honest, isn’t the worst way to celebrate.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Happy Book Lovers Day to you guys! 📚

Are you a yay or nay for wordless picture books?

I’ve really grown to love them over the years and HIKE is a recent favorite. It’s so stunning and my girls have requested it over and over again.

What about you? 👍 or 👎 for wordless picture books?

Last month, I shared a list of Audible books that were only a dollar or two each.

And almost every day since then, someone has sent me a message asking if I had MORE audiobook deals for kids.

Today is the day!

30 more children’s audiobooks for under $2 (many for only 69 cents!) on my blog today.

What are your kids favorite audiobooks? Tell me in the comments 👇🏼👇🏼

Three days a week, our nanny comes and I work for several hours, including right through lunch.

For the last year, I've taken the biggest water bottle I can find, plus a piece of fruit, a string cheese and an energy bar and one of my favorites are GOODTO GO bars and I'm so delighted that they're now available at Kroger stores nationwide!

GOODTO GO bars are made with real, organic ingredients like coconut, cinnamon, and raspberries and they are DELICIOUS. Plus, they only have 1-2 grams of sugar (I looked at one of the other bars I'd bought recently and saw that in addition to the natural sugars, it had NINETEEN grams of added sugar. Fail).

GOODTO GO bars make it so easy for me to keep my eating on track during my work day and they get super bonus points for being delicious - they're soft-baked which is such a nice change from the ones that will rip your teeth out.

I've teamed up with @goodtogosnacks to give away a box of GOODTO GO goodies + GOODTO GO Water Bottle + apron.

To enter to win, just:
Follow @goodtogosnacks and @everydayreading on Instagram and leave a comment on this post!

I'll choose a winner at random next week and we'll get your goodies in the mail!

Continental USA shipping addresses only.

Whoops! Dropped my head! 🤪

This was at our family reunion over the weekend and I have a whole post up today about what our schedule was like, where we stayed, how we manage the costs and who is in charge of meals.

If you’re interested, hop over and check it out!

And tell me if your family has family reunions! 👇🏼

Do you like updated covers for beloved books or are you committed to the originals you first read?

I love the ones I grew up with but I also love a fresh reimagining of popular titles for a new generation and I’m super into these new Ramona covers - I like them WAY more than the ones from my childhood.

Also, I’m almost universally a no on movie-tie in editions 🙅🏼‍♀️🙅🏼‍♀️🙅🏼‍♀️
