It's that time of year! Summer is here and the kids are finishing up school. One of my favorite parts of summer as a kid was working through all the reading programs we could find. Free summer reading programs are a frugal source of fun while encouraging reading. Really, what's not to love about free summer reading programs? I love that so many of the free summer reading programs are available for babies and toddlers now because creating a good reader starts long before they enter school. As an avid reader myself, I am also glad that several of the book programs include adults now. Yes, the … Read More...

How to Find Cheap Audio Books for Children
Nathan and I love reading our chapter books together. After finishing up the long Farmer Boy, I decided to read some short chapter books next. We started reading some of the Magic Tree House books.

Nathan happily finished the rest of his chapter book that day by listening to someone else read and I was reminded how much I love audio books. There are so many amazing audio books for children available! Why … Read More...

This post may contain affiliate links. You can read more in my disclosure policy. Almost two years ago, I read the increasingly popular book, The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up by Marie Kondo. There were some things I disagreed with but I found a lot of good inspiration in the book. I loved the idea of tidying by category and only keeping things that truly brought joy. Of course, life, pregnancy and moving into a shared house has slowed my decluttering progress. When I saw Marie had a new refresher book written in graphic novel style, I decided to read it.
