I have always loved books and reading. I want my kids to be good readers and have a love books like I do. I try to have fun activities for them that involve books. I rotate books depending on the season and holidays that are close by, we go to the library often, and I try to come up with fun activities or crafts that go along with my kids favorite books. Right now my kids favorite thing is making a blanket fort and reading our books in there!

My kids and I had a blast during our own Pajama Jam Reading Party. My 5 year old Hayden especially loved helping me make a blanket fort that would be the perfect location for our party. All of my kids “friends” (their stuffed animals) were apart of the party and we had a few snacks and drinks. My kids even found my old Teddy Ruxpin and all of his books at grandma’s house so he joined the fun. It was nostalgic and wonderful to watch them. They loved hanging out in their pjs, with comfy blankets, books, and treats. I loved watching them get all cuddled up in their fort with their books.
Halli’s favorite part was of course the food! She is a girl after my own heart…. She also has a few books she is obsessed with right now. She loves “The Hungry Caterpillar,” by Eric Carle, and also any of the books from Baby Lit, Pride and Prejudice is her favorite though. Hayden also loves books and is starting to read on his own! He was so proud to read books to me and his little sister.
He is the best brother. He loves the book, “What Brothers Do Best/What Sisters Do Best” by Laura Numeroff, and illustrated by Lynn Munsinger. They had such a great time in their fort for our Pajama Jam Reading Party.
