Getting Ready

atomiclola 0 Comments July 9, 2026

The girls and I are getting ready to travel to Boston, MA for the Excel National Festival. We’re thinking of starting an online log of our journeys to share with you. Tell us— what would you like to see?

What we’re reading:

Olivia (Age 7):

The Owl Diaries Series

My first grader is loving this chapter book. Owl Diaries is a Branches series from Scholastic which means it's made just for her. It's perfect for helping her grow her independence as a reader.

Evette (Age 5):

Beauty and the Beast

My little princess cannot get enough Belle these days. We picked up this book for her on our recent trip to Disney World. It's a Golden Book, but it's big! It's a wonderful telling of the Disney film.

Sonny (Age 3 months):

Apples to Zeppelin

This was a fun gift from Sonny's cousins. He loves hearing our voices read to him and the bright pictures on the page. It's so important to read with our little ones. He's already started mimicing the sounds that we make, especially oo's and oh's.

Oh, and when I get time:

Winter in Paradise by Elin Hilderbrand

A friend of mine recently suggested I check out this author when I mentioned that I was looking for a good series. I'm about halfway through this book and I am loving it!

Bonus:

The 3 Minute Gratitude Journal for Kids

I thought this gratitude journal would be a great introduction to journaling for my girls, and is it ever! In times like these, it is especially important to reflect on what we are grateful for. I was so excited to find this journal and children will have no trouble finding meaning in it as well.
