life with two sets of twins
I told myself I wasn’t going to be buying my kids anything for Valentine’s Day this year because we are spending it at Great Wolf Lodge. Which is $$$$$!! So, I’ll just be sharing all the things I WANT to buy for them and basically all things Valentine’s Day!

I don’t know about you but I LOVE themed holiday bookshelves. I feel like most of our children’s books revolve around the holidays or the “time of year”. Children’s books can be expensive so thrift stores like Goodwill or Salvation Army are good places to look. Amazon too! I usually get one new book per season, so it doesn’t seem that expensive. I’m going to be sharing my favorite St. Patrick’s day books that we love.
One of my favorite Christmas traditions is picking out a new Christmas book every year. Our collection is really growing because I’ve been doing it since McKenzie and Kasey were born (2008!). If you do the Elf on the Shelf tradition it would be a fun idea to have the elf bring a Christmas book on the first night every year! Over the years you will begin to cherish all of your books and they can be passed down to your kids and grandchildren. I LOVE special little things that make the holidays even more meaningful. I thought I’d share our absolute favorite ones to read every year.
As I’m typing this blog post… I’m surrounded by four LOUD wild and crazy kids. Kasey is teaching the babies to say, “I like big butts and I cannot lie”. Mason just chucked the remote at his sisters head. McKenzie is asking me if she can wear her bra to school tomorrow.
This is my life you guys. I’m slightly obsessed with them.
BUT what you really came here for was to know our favorite Halloween books for kids!
I’m back with another reading list! I’ve been so proud of myself because one of my goals of 2018 was to read at least one book per month. Well, I’ve been killing it! Making it a point to read every day has been a priority for me because its what I love doing and I’m trying to do more things for “me” lately. Of course I love reading to my littles too! Here is what we picked out of our home library to start reading this summer.
