Sharing PaperPie books and bear-y fun reading adventures for families everywhere. I found them way back in 2010!
Yes, I was becoming a collector of Usborne Books when my kids were small, so I searched them out only to find out that I could partner with them and spread literacy - awesome!

Today my daughter is getting married, and this story felt especially fitting to share. 💕
Some of my favorite memories are of reading books together and dreaming about all of life’s adventures ahead. Today, she’s beginning one of the greatest adventures of all. 💍
(About the book) Inspired by the true story of Rose Bertin, this beautiful book celebrates dreams, creativity, and the dress that helps make a special day unforgettable.
💕👰♀️💒🤵💕

I stopped by Hobby Lobby today…
I’m not buying it.
There are still weeks of sunshine, stories, slow mornings, ice cream, walks, and memories waiting to be made. 🧡
We don’t have to rush through the next few weeks! I’m excited to share some of my favorite books for summer, simple learning ideas, and fun resources with you here and in my VIP group! https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1JVYFHhu9T/?mibextid=wwXIfr

Don't let the back to school aisles, and especially Hobby Lobby rush your summer!!!!! There’s still time for slow mornings, adventures, and good books! ❤️
I’ve got some fun things to share before summer slips away!
Over the next few weeks, I’ll be sharing simple ways to keep kids engaged and learning — without turning summer into school.
Think:
📚 favorite book ideas
☀️ easy summer learning moments
🎲 fun activities for curious minds
So let’s ENJOY these last weeks of summer!
What’s one thing your family has loved doing this summer? ☀️

The music is about to drive me bonkers, but it’s Christmas in July!
☀️🎄🔥🎄🔥🎄☀️
At least I’m inside today from 8-2 along with many other great vendors - jewelry, bags, bows, and more - just had a yummy homemade oatmeal cream pie! 😋
