Fall is here! One of my favorite ways to celebrate season shifts is to get the kids a few new books to read about the upcoming season. Because our library is still closed and all the available pickup books weren’t that exciting, I may have gone a little overboard in ordering some new fall books!
Easton LOVES Halloween so going overboard was easy to do. Here’s what we ordered. Now we have an extensive fall inspired book library of our…
I’ve been really focusing in on our lifestyle lately and what we’re doing as a family to promote sustainable living and lessen our personal carbon footprint.
