How To

Knowing how to make reading fun for our kids can be exasperating!
As a kid, I spent hours every day reading in the summer. I'd come home from the library with stacks of books. I was so jazzed when I got my "personal pan pizza" from Pizza Hut after I completed the Summer Reading Program.
Do you remember those days?
My kids are not quite as easily motivated. With summer coming up, I want to find ways to get them into books, but it will take more than the promise of a pizza to get them to dive in. They like to read but don't love it like I did as a kid.
That’s why I’m truly grateful for this interview with reading expert Janssen Bradshaw. She gives strategies for how to make reading FUN this summer. Fun is something my kids can get on board with! I’m excited to share Janssen’s wisdom with you!

Are you stressed about how to entertain your kids this summer?
The long, hot summer days can be, well, long (womp, womp). 
That is why I’m so excited to share my interview with Andi Smiley about her secret for entertaining kids this summer. 
And what, might you ask, is Andi’s awesome secret for entertaining your kids this summer? (drumroll…) It’s podcasts for kids!
I (obviously!) love podcasts, and if you’re a follower of my show, I’m guessing you do, too. But do your kids know how great they are? If you haven’t yet introduced your kids to the amazing world of podcasts, you are in for a treat.

360: A Secret Tool to Keep Your Kids Entertained this Summer// Andi Smiley

Does positive journaling feel disingenuous to you? After all, there are really hard days when you’re a mom. Sitting down at the end of a rough day and writing down something positive can feel dishonest. Hop on to this week's episode and listen as I share an email I received from a listener who struggled with this. Hear how she navigates the balance between authenticity and optimism, and then hear how I’ve tried to do the same. 

If you have any thoughts about this balance, I’d love to hear! Come join me on Instagram, or leave a comment on my blog post!
