The Christmas tree is gone and many of the decorations are put away, but I’m still savoring this sweet holiday that we spent together: attending a truly incredible Christmas service as a family; cozy moments curled up on the couch doing things like watching It’s a Wonderful Life, Scrooged, Planes, Trains, and Automobiles, and Elf; finishing our annual reading of Rascal, catching up with family and friends with the happy arrival of Christmas cards, enjoying some of the most thoughtful and creative Christmas gifts I’ve ever received, and knowing that even without those presents, I’d be one incredibly blessed woman!
But that’s not all! In the midst of this season of giving, we debuted an idea that’s been brewing in our family for quite some time. On the day after Christmas, we launched Family Reads, a new site devoted to dependably delightful books for kids. It’s been a wonderful family project, with each of us contributing substantially. We’re posting reviews, tips, ideas and inspiration to help encourage a lifelong love of reading. Check it out, let us know what you think, and, by all means, share with your friends. The more the merrier!
Hey There! Great site, what an awesome idea. I miss seeing you – let’s get together soon
Thanks, Lelly! We totally need to get together – I’ll be in touch!
