Ready, Set, Read!
We are participating in our local library‘s reading program “Ready Set Read!”. They have a long list of different books to read for pre-K aged children. For every 10 books read from the list we earn a prize and after we have read 60 books we get a grand prize. The books that they chose have a lot of educational and STEM focused topics which I love. The majority of the books listed are ones we have never read so this is a great opportunity to introduce some new reading! I hope we can at least get through 10/20 of them!
Here is our pick from the list for the week: 
Have you or your child ever done a reading challenge before? Comment below! Thank you for visiting & happy reading!
Lush’s Dream Cream=Amazing! I purchased this product after reading several reviews over the years about how great the stuff was for helping dry skin and eczema. My son has mild eczema & we have been using throughout winter to combat dry skin. So far, this dream cream really is a dream. I love how Lush’s products are made of non-toxic ingredients which makes me feel better about applying it to my sons skin. The smell of the cream is warm and yummy, it reminds me of a creamsicle. The texture is so creamy and a little bit goes a long way. Hands down, the best moisturizer I’ve used!
Maybelline’s Fit Me Lose powder is a first for me, but since buying this product I have no real complaints. It is an affordable, basic, everyday powder that I use to set my foundation and concealer. It has a translucent, light coverage. I definitely will be repurchasing again.
Oh yes, my favorite. My Anastasia Beverly Hills concealer/ foundation stick. I have been using this product for probably over a year and it isn’t my go to product for a basic coverage on the face and under eyes. It has a medium to light coverage and stays put fairly long. And this is my second stick and it has lasted me so long.
The Naked 3 palette. This is my all-time favorite eyeshadow palette. The colors are pink-ish and go well with an every day basic look. This is the only naked palette that I have owned or tried. I absolutely love urban decay eyeshadow’s.

This book is so nostalgic to my childhood I had to add this to our collection! This will be fun to scratch and sniff through all the holiday scents!
A new favorite! This book is about an adventurous boy named Alec who loves to climb trees! Impressed by the beauty and size of the tree, the beloved tree is chosen for the cities Christmas display. Conflicted, Alec brainstorms and comes up with a plan! Super cute read and shows our young ones the importance of trees in nature💕. I love how the author included a note on the history and tradition of the 🎄 Christmas Tree.
This is another wonderful book that tells a tale of the Christmas tree and the importance it has in the forest not only for the animals and nature but for a family tradition. This book always warms my heart! 
This is a book my son listens to all year round.😝 This book allows you record your voice reading the story. The classic tale of Santa Claus is one of my sons favorite book! 
A super cute read about a boy who had Santa Claus for a Dad. After his dad sprains his ankle he finally gets his wish to help his father deliver the presents. Towards the end of the night he gets to deliver an even more special gift to one deserving child. This is beautifully written and has a good message!❤️🎄
One of my sons favorite book character is Llama Llama. He was thrilled when we checked this out from the library! It tells a tale of how being patient is important.❤️
I am so excited for my son to receive these. He is obsessed with talking through intercoms, speakerphone, microphones, etc! He is obsessed with flashlights as well which is included on these! These will be super fun!
My son has never spoken of LEGOs until recently. I have put off buying these for the obvious: hundreds of mini pieces to get lost and wedged in random places. My inner OCD is ringing the warning bells on this one. Any tips on organizing LEGO toys please comment below!!
My son is into policeman and fireman and I know he will have endless play with this!
My son is obsessed with cars, tires and wheels. He will be thrilled to see this! Hopefully this stays as a toy box and not a toy!
