Books your child should read after Harry Potter? How many of us parents have faced this dilemma?

Our Week in Review
Welcome to another Week in Review. This is where I catch you up on all the goings on here at Nourishing My Scholar. This week has felt a bit out of sorts actually, because our natural rhythm has been disrupted by dental visits for the children and a veterinarian visit for one of our fur babies. I must say that I find books like A Gracious Space, especially helpful in weeks like this when … [Read more...] about Our Week in Review
Our Week in Review
Another week has come and gone. Anyone else exhausted? I know I sure am. Perhaps I just need more caffeine in the way of coffee! I always start my day with coffee and now that we've entered into a new school year I like to start my day with a bit of encouragement. I've really been enjoying Brave Writer's Julie Bogart on Facebook. Each morning at 8am she is live with … [Read more...] about Our Week in Review

You can read about his favorite books here at our Favorite Read Aloud Books. We had a little boy with big ideas that could understand complexities far beyond his years. He knew the sounds that the … [Read more...] about Inspiring a Love of Reading with the Love of Animals
Our Week in Review: Including Gardening, Chickens, and Reading
Welcome to our week in review! We have been living on my sisters farm now for over a month and I think we are finally starting to find our rhythm! Farm life has so much to offer our children as they connect with nature and the animals all around them. Back in March (about two weeks before we moved to the farm) Uncle Joe hatched 24 Bantam Ameraucana chicks. Since arriving, the … [Read more...] about Our Week in Review: Including Gardening, Chickens, and Reading
Our Book of the Week: RED
I wanted to share a book with you. A book that the children keep asking for this week. They ask for it as soon as they wake in the mornings. They ask for it at breakfast. They ask for it at lunch. They ask for it before bed. This picture book by Michael Hall is simply called Red: A Crayon's Story. Our three year old actually discovered this gem of a book at the library. I wasn't sure … [Read more...] about Our Book of the Week: RED
