summer reading

August 3, 2011 By kelly mcmahon willette

summer is historically our time to not do a darn thing! i LOVE it (though, i really am not a fan of the heat!). i have been doing a lot of reading this summer…and just hanging out with my little beasties.

here is my current nightstand reading load

i found the family dinner cookbook on ali edwards’ blog, and the others were “recommended” to me by amazon when i put the family dinner one in my shopping cart. i highly recommend these books….so many great, fun activities to do with young kids.

and with school starting in less than a month, and with max’s after school activities, i really want to commit our family to a family dinner routine. i really think this book is going to help us.

here are the links to the books if you’re interested in checking them out:

the family dinner

i love dirt

15 minutes outside

101 things you should do before your kids leave home

i’ve also been wasting a ton of time on pinterest (i might need a 12-step program to get off of this website) and having fun on instagram (i’m mommairish on there if you are on instagram).

we’re gearing up for our next finding the joy class which starts in september: family joy! hope you’ll take it with us. i’m super excited – partially because these classes encourage me to get out my camera and take photos of my OWN family!
