I cannot believe that another month has flown by and I am scrambling to get my April reviews written and blog post up! This is one of those months where I told Goodreads I started reading all ten of these books but never marked them as finished or wrote the review until today. So I just spent the last 2 hours writing all these! There are some good books in the mix, get excited! PS: I have quite a few books I preordered and am excited to read when they come out! I wanted to share them with ... continue reading...
Creating Albums for your photos & why I make a Family Yearbook
Ask Elizabeth: How to you go about printing photos for yourself? Is there a method to the madness? I want to make albums but not sure how to start! How do you organize them? What a fun question! I am excited for this blog post. Printing photos and making memory books for our family is one of my favorite things to do with the crazy embarrassing amount of photos I take! I print family photos for frames around the house (like this), I print them small and use them for bookmarks or pinned on the ... continue reading...
March Books
We started to listen to "our stories" in the car nearly every time we drive around which added three books to this list!

We do reading for homeschool and lots of picture books during the day, but I wanted to read more stories with them that we can talk about together. Car stories has been a huge hit (for Hilde mostly ;)) and I've been stocking up on CDs from our ... continue reading...
Our Three Easter Baskets
Easter Baskets 2019 | 2020 | 2021 | 2022 | 2023 Another year, another Easter Basket post. I make an Easter Basket every year - they are the stockings of the Easter season! I only realized a couple years ago that not every family does Easter Baskets in the same way we do. They use them for picking up eggs on a hunt (we do that too) but not surprise baskets of goodies to wake up to on Easter Morning! Well, I grew up in a home with the later and I cannot help but continue the tradition! ... continue reading...
Februrary Books
I read seven books the month of February and was thankful for the extra day we got this year as I finished three of these books on the 29th ;) The girls and I started listening to audiobooks in the car (I pick up the CD versions at the library) and that has been great fun for us all! I sometimes struggle with how to rate books - books I enjoyed can get 3.5 stars and other books I didn't think I liked can get 4.5 stars in the end. It all depends on what I am feeling and writing down about the ... continue reading...
