  • How do you connect with your kids? I was having a conversation with my BFF Heather of @wheelingtodream about how sometimes it’s hard to come up with things to do with our kids. But COLORING & ARTWORK is one thing that is genuinely fun to do together! 🎨❤️(plus reading of course!) . . What is your favorite way to connect with your kids? If you’re looking for unique activities to do with them, check out the premium membership of the intentional book club! We have a focus theme section that has activity ideas curated around meaningful topics. 💜
  • First & foremost: If you are not already a member of The Intentional Book Club, you totally should be - it's 100% free to create an account and get started. This is a place for you to find AMAZING children's books that you will fall in love with AND align with your values & #intentionalbookshelf . . . Now, once you're in there, you'll notice an amazing page called "Focus Themes" which you only get access to if you become a premium member. . . . We have over 9 focus themes (and counting - it grows nearly every month) ranging from things like penguins to goal setting to simplicity. Every focus theme comes with: book recommendations, activity ideas for the whole family & discussion questions to help you and the kids dive deep into the themes. . . . We'd like to spend some time highlighting the #intentionalbookclub focus themes here on our instagram account! The very first theme we created was GRATITUDE (and it's *perfect* for this time of the year, especially around thanksgiving). . . . Teaching our children the power of grateful hearts & minds unlocks their potential to be thankful for what they have, and see the beauty and positive even in the hardest of situations. I think we can all agree, too, we'd be jumping for joy if our kids always said "thank you!" with grateful eyes for anything they received or any kindness that was bestowed upon them. . . . If you want to get access to the gratitude theme bundle + all of the other ones AND our entire library of author, illustrator & publisher guest interviews...head to the link in our bio and click the "premium!" button...and if you're already a book club member, go upgrade your account today for instant access!

  • It’s almost #halloween2018🎃👻 Last week for our local book club we made a little Halloween space for the kids! I love decorating with books & encouraging creativity through literature during the holidays!
  • When a children's book can even teach ME something, I feel like it's a slam dunk. "Be Kind" is a short picture book that attempts to answer the question, what does it mean to be kind? through unique examples and illustrations. . . Being Kind could be using someone's name when you talk to them (this was SUCH a good point & one that this book taught me!) . . Being Kind could be standing up for someone that is being bullied. . . Being Kind could be asking someone to play with you when they are all alone. . . This is SUCH an incredible book for you #intentionalbookshelf. It's diverse, it's inclusive, it's genuine and it's got such a pure message. You can learn more about this book & read other reviews by searching it in The Intentional Book Club, it is archived under: bullying, kindness, inclusion and friendship.
  • Psst...I have something to tell you. I have a big goal for 2019. I am planning to rewrite The Intentional Bookshelf - to include stories and anecdotes from real families (like you!) who've put the concept into practice and have seen real results. I'm also 2 more years into this parenthood journey and I've tweaked the process just a bit and refined it (plus, I have my own stories of triumph and failure to share). I have 30 copies of The Intentional Bookshelf (the original) on my shelf. ​​​​​​​After these 30 are gone, I won't be signing & selling this version anymore, so this is it. ​​​​​​​ >> If you haven't read the book yet & want a signed copy, they're just $12 (free shipping and everything). >> If you HAVE read the book but want a signed copy, go grab one. >> If you have a friend that needs to hear this message, do them a favor and grab them a copy. >> If you're thinking about what thoughtful, meaningful gift to give to your brother & sister in law who just had their first baby...grab a signed copy of The Intentional Bookshelf and help give them confidence and energy as new parents. ​​​​​​​ There's no time limit on this, but when they're gone, they're gone. I'm creating the space needed to write this new version of the book and I am so eager to dive really really deep into this concept of parenting with literature. Order one of the 30 (only 28 now!!) signed copies by clicking the link in my bio. 🧡📙🍂
