I'm still missing the 4th of Julys we spent in Kansas with fireworks and pretty sparkler photos, but I'm loving our Colorado celebrations with our ever growing family. I think we celebrated Independence Day the longest this year which also made the whole holiday even more fun. We even went all out on the flags and the kids took ownership over the waving! The girls are now big enough to ask questions and learn more about "why" we do things. We read books, made crafts, told stories, and ... continue reading...

June Booklist
I finished seven books in June and ended the month with a couple spilling over into July! I keep cracking myself up with my current Goodreads goal sitting at 309% in completion!

We can devour stories in the car, sit on blankets in the ... continue reading...

And by very wet, I mean I cannot remember the last day it did not rain, which isn't normal for us here in Colorado! Even in these pictures you can see the storm rolling in - the storm that didn't even show up on my weather app (!!!) and the one that made us throw things in the stroller and run to the car before the floodgates ... continue reading...
May Booklist #2
Now that May is officially over, here are the other four books I read this month. I'm still laughing at the sheer number of books I've read this year. I was expecting these monthly recaps to hold 2 or 3 books max, hopefully reaching my lofty goal of 23 books - and here am I, topping out May with 8 books and sitting at 53 books for the year! This was honestly a great set - three 5 stars and a 4 - so all books I'd recommend! The Secret Book of Flora Lea by Patti Callahan Henry* 5 Stars: ... continue reading...
