The weather is getting warmer, the days are getting longer and summer is almost here! Time to break out the camping gear and have some fun. I loved camping as a kid, and I cannot wait to take my daughter someday. On days when the weather is against us, we will settle for having our own camping fun at home!

I love taking walks with my daughter. I remember taking her out in her stroller during her first year and singing and talking while we strolled. It was a great way to get out of the house and get some fresh air. As she has grown, our walks have become more varied, but it’s still one of my favorite activities. So I was thrilled when I was given the opportunity to check out today’s book with 50+ ways to turn a walk around your neighborhood into a learning experience!
There are so many amazing books out there for babies and children. It can be overwhelming trying to narrow down the books that you should have for your kids. I wouldn’t even know where to start if someone asked me to come up with a list of the most important books for kids to have. However, I do think that all kids can benefit from having a few Priddy Books on their shelves.

English can be a difficult language to learn. There are lots of parts to it, and sometimes it feels like the “rules” are broken almost as often as they are true! When it comes to teaching kids about grammar, punctuation and the rules of the language, it helps to make it fun and memorable. (Tell me you don’t still know the words to some of the Schoolhouse Rocks songs!). I had the opportunity to check out a fun new book about punctuation from Innovation Press, and it inspired me to gather 14 fun children’s books about punctuation and grammar to help you make the language fun!
I love books that encourage young girls to be strong, confident women. My parents raised me and my sister to believe that we could do anything that we set our minds to. Our mother taught us to use tools, problem solve and take care of difficult situations without panicking. I want to raise my daughter to be a strong and confident woman as well, so I am always on the lookout for great books that feature strong female characters and inspire her to be proud of who she is. Today I decided to gather a list of the best empowering board books for girls and young feminists so you can build a library for your strong, confident little one. These are great reads for both girls and boys, and can start some important conversations as well!
I am absolutely thrilled that there are so many amazing resources available today to teach kids about STEM concepts and subject. If you regularly follow the blog, you know that I am a big fan of the push for kids (and especially girls) to get more involved in STEM fields. Today, we had the opportunity to check out a new coding book for kids from Viking Books that introduces kids to simple coding concepts through a fun and relatable summer story.
Summertime means the bugs are back! From flies and mosquitoes to butterflies and bees, there is a whole other world of creatures that kids can learn about and explore. I decided to create a list of some of the best bug books for kids to get you started!

Vincent Van Gogh is one of the most famous artists in the world, and often one of the first that kids learn. Thanks to Disney’s Little Einsteins, my daughter learned to recognize “The Starry Night” when she was only 2. I love introducing her to all kinds of art, music and culture and giving her background knowledge that will help her later in life, and allow her to develop her own tastes and opinions. Today we had the opportunity to check out a picture book about Vincent Van Gogh and his journey to create his most famous work. We also had lots of fun creating Van Gogh activities for kids to pair with it!
Warmer weather means that we take our learning outdoors! We love to take walks together around our neighborhood and check out all of the natural elements that surround our home. The new book Anywhere Artist gave us some inspiration to see the nature around us in a more creative way.

We got hit by the cold and flu bugs flying around this year, like a lot of families out there. As my toddler sneezed and coughed and inevitably passed it on to me, I was constantly reminding her to cover her mouth. Then we met Enzo the dragon. This children’s book about dragons is not only a lot of fun, but shares a rhyming reminder to keep your germs to yourself, which my daughter now happily repeats!
