🍓🫐This is your sign to head to the nearest berry patch with the women in your family and frolic! TWEENS 8/9-12 year olds are known to cave into peer pressure and society expectations around this age and start to shrink their presence in public. I hope my sisters and I are leading by example with moments of joy, resilience and soft living that will become second nature to them as they grow older.

23 ya'll! 5 years after Juneteenth was made a federal holiday and we have so much more than Juneteenth for Maisie and Juneteenth Jamboree! Seeing all of these books in one collection is pretty amazing. My hope is that you find a favorite to share with the little ones in your life!

23 picture books about Juneteenth...and I could have added more but these are my recommendations for teaching your kids about this fun summer holiday that celebrates the day all African-Americans were emancipated!

Things to do in Atlanta with kids! We headed to the last weekend of the Renaissance Festival in Fairburn, GA. I hope this inspires you to check it out and don't fret because the spring festival is over the fall festival looks amazing and will be at night during spooky season!

This bookish field trip was inspired by:

👑❤️ Kaya Morgan's Crowning Achievement: 👑❤️
By Jill Tew

The story follows Kaya Morgan grieving 12yr old who has always shared the Ren fest with her dad, but is having a hard time finding her joy since her dad passed and the ren fest was their thing.
Even though her family thinks her love of medieval times is weird and she was given the role of course jester and not queens apprentice at the Faire she is determined to hold onto her and her dad's dream of being the first Black Queen of the Faire!

Squirrely has already read this book twice.
And that is saying a lot.

When will your kids be home for the summer? I'm not ready but I'm getting there.

Because I freelance, summer has meant a complete disruption to my work, you cant read, video, or write with constant interruptions without slightly losing your mind.

I could wing it but having a plan helps so much. So I prep the house the best I can, book some camps and hope for the best.
