Books are treasures in our house. And I'm one that can't say no to more and more books. We have stacks of books from the library. I buy new books from Scholastic and Amazon. We visit the Little Free Libraries. We devour books in our house.

It's a problem that I know many of you also share with me, but when I see the benefits of creating a home of readers with my own two daughters ... I know we are doing the right thing.

This week my readers were reading in the wild ... in the dark ... in the car, and even in bed, under the cover of darkness. And to be honest, it brought a smile to my face. (Just as the title suggests.)

    You have set such a great example for the girls and your students. Such great pics - I especially like to ones in the dark - sneaking to get in just one more page and then falling fast asleep, dreaming of what they've just read. Love y'all, Mom

    How wonderful to be able to pass this love of reading on to your daughters! I loved the photos as well--they put a smile on my face too.

    What a great saying and what a wonderful way to follow it through, no better foundation than instilling a love of reading in your daughters

    What a beautiful environment you've set up! It's so fun to collect books. I haven't found a way to stop yet (and I'm not planning on it).

    Your girls are growing fast! I'm not a bit surprised to see the wild readers they are.

{#sol15} deeper than beauty 8/31

The March Slice of Life Story Challenge hosted  at the  Two Writing Teachers Join us for a month of writing! I have twin four and a half -- almost five! -- year old daughters.  I try to be consciously aware of what I say and do in regards to my body image and self-esteem and also with their body image and self-esteem. First of all, because I don't want them to believe everything that society says is true.  Even if they don't fully understand it today.  In addition, because they are fraternal twin sisters, I want them to understand they are individuals with unique and different bodies that God created for each of them.   However, society -- including my loving family and friends -- tell a different story and harmlessly create a comparison war.   My girls constantly hear how beautiful, adorable, cute, fill-in-the-blank with any other
