Designing Your Own Bookmarks + Listening to Your Audiobooks = The Perfect Crafty Evening 🎧

Have you ever seen the acrylic bookmark kits? If you haven't tried them, you should for sure! Not only did my 18-year-old daughter enjoy making them, but so did my 8-year-old. Oh, how I wish summer would never end! ☀️

Follow the link in my stories for a link to these crafty creations. I mean, you can never have too many books or bookmarks! 📚

Do you ever move between a physical copy of a book and an audiobook? I love hybrid reading!

There's nothing like a couple of days in one of my favorite places: Ogunquit, Maine. 🌊

If you ever visit, you must visit the @perkinscovebookshop and dine at @cove_cafe 🍽

From storytime to the streets!📚✨ We took “Benny Builds a Dam” for a neighborhood walk and tucked him into a Little Free Library—ready for his next adventure. Take a book, leave a book… such a simple idea, such a beautiful way to share stories. 💛

Have you ever discovered a hidden gem in one of these? Or left a favorite book for someone else to find? 👇

It’s March Into Literacy Month and National Reading Month! ✨

Literacy isn’t just about learning to read… it’s about watching a child’s eyes light up when they recognize a word on their own. The “read it again!” moments. The confidence that quietly builds page by page.👏
If you’re looking for a sign to add one more book to the bedtime stack... this is it.
