Ready for a bight & cheery book list?! To be honest, reading in general makes us smile. It’s the end of the day and we settle in for a book. It’s before nap and someone hops on your lap.

Disclosure: This post was sponsored by John Deere. In addition, this holiday season, John Deere sent us some items for the purpose of review. As always, all opinions are my own. While I’ve been Christmas shopping for my kids for the better part of a decade, I’m a newbie when it comes to shopping for little boys. It’s only been about… Read More
The years seem to be flying by. I wish there was a way to pause time for a bit but no matter how hard we try to, it’s suddenly December and another year is coming to a close.
