Summer Reading Favorites for Kids

Spread the love

These are some of our top summer reading favorites for the kids. They're great in helping encourage manners and giving thanks and teaching responsibility! Anything to help make parenting a little easier, I'm all about and we love these books!

It’s no secret that we love books in our house.  Harper has loved them from early on and it’s been the same case with Rohen.   I’m always on the hunt for great books that are fun and educational.  I really wanted to find some good ones now that summer is here and our schedule has slowed down a bit.  We have play dates planned, trips to be taken, picnics to be had, and bed time snuggles each night.  All of which typically involve books in tow.

When I saw the Inspirational Nursery Rhymes books, I was immediately impressed with the goal behind them.  I love that these books incorporate teaching our kids about manners and responsibilities and also encourage them to use their imagination.  Parenting is hard, so it’s amazing when we can get help reiterating things that we’re already teaching.  When we got the 3 books in the mail, Harper pulled them out of the box and was so excited.  I keep finding them throughout the house because he carts them around wherever he goes.

Max is the adorable mouse character in the books and I’m finding Harper will talk about him in different situations.  He’s made mention that Max makes his bed and cleans his room, so I’ll find him doing the same.  They’re cute little nursery rhymes so it makes it easy for him to remember.  These are new favorites in our house and I see them sticking around for a while!

We love these books so much that we’re teaming up with the authors to give 3 away to one of my readers!

The winner will receive these 3 books: Get Inspired with Max | Giving Thanks with Max | Be Responsible like Max

    I recently discovered your blog and I feel compelled to say a big “thank you!”
    For summer reading, I would recommend this book – “If You Ever Want to Bring a Piano to the Beach, Don’t!”. Outstanding illustrated storybook, all the arts of the book was drawn beautifully.

✨Standing where our home will be in Louisiana. W ✨Standing where our home will be in Louisiana. We’re leaving Tennessee and moving back. ✨

We felt a nudge about 6 months ago to start praying about moving back to Louisiana. So, pray we did! Lots and lots of it. I swore we’d never leave Franklin, so I was a bit confused as to why the Lord had put this on my heart. But I know that His plans are always better than our own. Month after month I softened to the idea and he started working out all the details. 

During spring break we made a trip to Louisiana to see Daniel’s parents and to drive around with a move in mind. We couldn’t find any homes that we loved, so we started looking at land. Long story short, this property is close to my in-laws and had been on the market for over a year. Over an acre on a lake that hadn’t been scooped up. We truly feel that God held it for us. Our vision for this land is dreamy. It will give us what we’ve wanted which is a bit of land that we could turn into our little oasis, it offers some privacy, and allows us to be close to family. 

We closed on the land two weeks ago, put our house here in TN on the market last Friday, accepted an offer on Monday, and started the details of our new home build. The boys will finish out school and then we’re heading back south in early July. It’s all happened fairly quickly but we know it’s what we’re supposed to be doing and we’re at peace with it all. It’s going to be very bittersweet to leave. We love Franklin/Nashville and our community here, but we’re excited about a new adventure and to be around family.

Is anyone else fond of coffee or red wine? I know Is anyone else fond of coffee or red wine? I know I’m not alone. I love the taste but I’m not crazy about what it does for my teeth. ☕️😁

I’m not a fan of whitening strips at home because it always makes my teeth sensitive. I was so excited to get in with @nationsdentalstudio because they offer professional teeth whitening that’s quick. I was curious to see if I’d have the same experience in the office that I have at home Thankfully, that wasn’t the case. 

I was in and out with whiter teeth within an hour. I had minimal discomfort for the first 24 hours and only needed one session. This is definitely the easiest way to get your pearly whites even brighter! Ten out of ten in my book! Not to mention, this is the most chic dental office you’ll ever see. 😍

Mention “Southern Made Blog” when booking a teeth whitening session with @nationsdentalstudio and get $50 off!

Yes, please! Count me in! This may have been the best one yet. @urbanaircoolsprings had everything set up and ready to go for us when we arrived. So much fun, pizza, cupcakes, and lots of celebrating. 

Between the trampolines, rock climbing walls, ball pits, playground, ropes course, and VR, I’d say these boys had a blast! Two birthdays to remember. Thanks for a great day, @urbanaircoolsprings!
