20-Target-Gift-Card

You may have noticed that I haven’t been around a whole lot lately. I’m really trying to change that as we settle in to our school year. Some days it’s really hard with homeschooling 3 kids, taking care of a toddler and being almost 30 weeks pregnant! Yes, crazy me, I’m pregnant with #5 while homeschooling, being active in Girl and Cub Scouts, Family Faith Formation, and dragging kids to their sports activities: soccer, gymnastics, baseball, etc. No wonder I’m never around!


We did finally settle on our curriculum about a month ago and are working on settling into our daily schedule. We are using Sonlight Core B for Monkey and Little Man and Core F for Buddy. Monkey and Little Man are learning about the beginning of World History and Buddy is focusing on the Eastern Hemisphere this year. We’ve been focused on China for the past 4 weeks and he’s so ready to move on. We’ve learned Chinese Calligraphy and on Monday we will be making apple pie egg rolls. (We should make real Chinese egg rolls, but I know he won’t touch them, so we are making dessert egg rolls.) The younger two are really enjoying our family read alouds. We’ve made it through Charlotte’s Web, Homer Price, Little Pear, and Where the Mountain Meets the Moon. We are currently reading Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle, Mission to Cathay, Young Fu of the Upper Yangtze, and on Monday we will be starting Owls in the Family.

I don’t know that I’ve ever read that many books out loud in my whole life! We are really enjoying it, though. That’s not even all of the books we’ve read, either! The kids each have their own books that they have to read to themselves. Maybe later this week I’ll go over the books that Monkey has read, because she is really loving them and just in the past 6 weeks or so that we’ve done school, her reading has become more confident and much, much faster.

Now on to the giveaway! In order to celebrate my trying to be more present, I want to give away a $20 Target Gift Card to my loyal readers. I just want to thank you all for hanging out with me the past 6.5 years! Simply follow the rules in the Gleam giveaway below. Good Luck!!

  4. We’re currently reading “The Book Thief” and the”Martian”. We’re listening to the audios from the library, their voice inflictions is much more interesting than mine. And each child has their own books to read.

  44. omg I don’t know how to pick a favorite. there have been so many over the years that we’ve loved for some many different reasons. some that got so well loved I had to put them up so they wouldn’t completely fall apart. A current fave is still the Magic Tree house books because it still has some predictability that feels like the old days of reading to them when they were tiny on my lap but enough adventure and newness that keeps even the older ones tuned in while i read.

  45. I love to read Black Beauty to them! It was a childhood favorite of mine, and they love horses!

  53. My kids are older now, but when they were young we loved reading Mr. Putter and Tabby to and with them.

  54. we love reading harry potter together. my niece isnt old enough to read it to herself.

  64. I don’t have kids, but I love to read Gregory the Terrible Eater to my nieces/nephews as that was my favorite book! (:

  69. Oh our favorite…actually all year long…is The Runaway Pumpkin by Kevin Lewis! There are a few books with the same name…..but the one my Kevin is soooo fun to read. It has the best rhymes…and Carter just laughs all the way through. Our favorite!!! The main part says …Round and round across the ground makin a thumpin bumpin sound came the thumpety bumpety thumpin bumpin round and rolly runaway pumpkin! Oh we LOVE this book!

  75. I love to read everything to my son but i love reading One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish because he has it memorized and can read along.

  80. We love reading the little critters series of books.

  92. When they were little, we read “The Pokey Little Puppy. ” Now we are reading the Percy Jackson series.

  96. My daughter and I just finished reading The City of Ember by Joanne DePrau and she enjoyed it very much.

  106. IDK since I don’t have kids but when I was little I liked The Poky Puppy and Winnie the Pooh.

  112. Once our baby is born I can’t wait to read them stories like “the very hungry catipular”, “Going on a bear hunt”, “Good Night Moon” and so many more. I love children’s picture books!

  114. My granddaughter loves me to read Green Eggs & Ham to her, she also loves Are You My Mother?

  120. I don’t have any little ones to whom to read, but when I was young, I remember I used to ask my mom to read Mickey Meets the Giant over and over again. It became an inside joke after a while. XD

    God bless,
    Miles

  131. Mine is only 6 months old, but she seems to have a liking for The Cat in the Hat. It must be the rhyming.

  135. When my daughter was young, we would read the book ” Are you my Mother? ” by P. D. Eastman .

  139. No little ones to read to here, but I always liked the Mrs. Piggle Wiggle series when I was a kid.

  145. My two favorite “read to” kids books are Stand Back Said the Elephant I am Going to Sneeze, and Fox in Socks.

  155. We love to read the classics, “If you give a mouse a cookie,” “Goodnight Moon,” and a boy book my son recently got (it’s for eight to twelve years olds and for boys to read about changes in their bodies man my son oves that book!) are our faves to read right now.
