Wild Kratts Book Review

-

 Hello!

It’s snow day number 4 this week, the kids got to school yesterday which was wonderful and they both really enjoyed seeing all their friends and showing off the skills we’ve worked on over the break to their teachers. One of those big skills was our reading and sounding out words!

The boys received several books from their favorite brother duo for Christmas and the Wild Kratts books do not disappoint!

Jamie and I have started reading a story out of this or the other compilation book before bed every night since Christmas and now he’s in the rhythm and insisting on it which I LOVE! The books are perfect for his comprehension and reading abilities. I still read the majority but there are a lot of headline words in bold at the top of the page that he practices spelling and sounding out, mostly species names, and he is doing wonderfully. It’s also really fun to point out what Martin and Chris are doing on the pages and they use their taglines in the story which is great for sight reading for Jamie as well.

Outside of that I’m learning new things that I didn’t know like there are 38 types of wild cats ranging from large to small, the Bengal Tiger is the biggest, and that Jamie knows pretty much all of this already! 🥰

Arnis loves these books as well, we just read more in the afternoon for him and we do different books at night that Grant typically reads for him. 

That’s all for today! Onto another day at the house and hopefully getting some grocery shopping done before this snow storm starts back up. 

As much as we’re enjoying and nervous about more snow, we’re also keenly aware of everyone affected by the fires. We’re staying in touch with Grant’s side of the family in the LA area and they’re all safe but it’s a mess and absolutely heartbreaking at the level of loss and destruction from these wildfires. I wish there were more we could do. 

💛 Jessie

Let’s Look: Low Level Goals for 2025

Hello, I’m going to try to keep up with this concept/challenge/link-up (seriously I need to figure out how to do that properly) from Mixandmatcama.com and alittlebitofeverythingblog.com for this year. It’s a once a month post about different things in each persons life and I love reading it on their blogs so it might be fun to look back on later in life about my own life. 🙂 I already shared my “resolutions” which are essentially these goals but here’s a recap a couple of weeks in of what is actually going to happen… I think. 1. Mailing a letter or card once a month to a friend I don’t talk to regularly. I still love this concept and it’s fun to try to keep connected with a couple of my sweet friends in a way that feels more personal but still doesn’t add too much to an already busy schedule. This will be the last week of the month and I can easily grab a card from the zoo or Trader Joe’s or just write a letter and it’ll still be fun. 2. Family Bible time. Originally I thought a nightl...

 Hey there! I'm Jess, a mom in Cincinnati Ohio, who is passionate about my family, doing my best to help the planet, and, hopefully, bringing a little positivity to the internet. I've worked on doing a practice blog for the past year to see if this is something that I want to pursue and it has been very therapeutic for me.  As an intro, because no one wants to hear me ramble in paragraph form, here's 10 things about me: 1. My family is my priority. Always.  2. I'm extremely type A and therefore already have a schedule for this, if my mother ever reads this she's likely rolling her eyes and telling me to chill. 3. I can't sit still and will therefore fill my schedule part a a coping mechanism and part just because it's me. 4. I've been working extremely hard this past year to prioritize things that serve our family and saying goodbye to whatever adds unnecessary stress. 5. I'm a hardcore Enneagram 2 (the helper) and therefore my professional backgroun...
