more of the same

On Tuesdays and Thursdays, I post a picture and just a few words.

I'm pretty sure I could take a picture like this every summer day.

summer reading

I am so blessed to have a house full of readers.

Sure, we encourage reading around here, but nurture can only do so much, and I realize that I shouldn't take for granted that all four of mine have a reading nature that responds to nurture.

  1. Great pic. I too am blessed with a house of readers. My husband and I love to read, as do our children. They enjoy writing as well. Our eldest aspires to be an author, acknowledging it is a challenging career.

  2. I have one reader, out of two kids I'm trying with my 7 yr old! and I try to keep good books in front of my 13 yr old, have you any suggestions on some good clean books for 13 yr old boy?

    1. Artemis Fowl series; Mike Lupica (sports themes); Rick Riordan; John Grisholm (has a series for kids); Hunger Games trilogy

    1. Oh, yes. To have lots of free hours to just read? That would be epic.

      I did get to do that when I was a kid, but now I have more responsibilities and much less free time!

    1. Zoe was JUST like that. As a toddler, I'd always find her sitting on the floor or in the bed with a big pile of books around her.

      She ended up being a very early reader and I didn't have to do much work at all to teach her how to read. Maybe your youngest will be like that!

  3. What a great picture! Makes me think of my childhood and makes me smile. The love of reading transcends age and time.
