This photo is of our dining room which also served as our learning space and office. I loved the coziness that this space brought. In this home, we did not have much storage so I used every space I could find to store things for our learning adventures together. Our kids did not need much in

I am so excited about this year's Book Explorer Guide releases! I had every intention of finishing so many of these in 2025 and life happened...life happened hard. We are in such a great place right now and I have so much more time to devote to our Book Explorers. If you are new here, our Book Explorer Guides offer full language arts unit studies for beautiful books. We bring the books to life in each and every lesson. Your child will learn grammar, writing, literature skills

We are thrilled to now be including our Kids Book Club In our monthly Play & Learn Club Membership! Each Friday (minus any that fall on a holiday), our kids will meet-up via Zoom to discuss that week's assigned reading. I chose the books for the next 15 months to take us through the end of 2026 and am sharing all the choices here with you not only so our families can plan ahead, but also because these are just incredible children's books that I hope all families get the chanc
