Lifetime Reader: February 2017

9 years!

Today is my fake Usborne anniversary. I joined on Leap Day, so February 28 will have to count.

😉

Thank you to those that have cheered me on, purchased books, held parties with me, or sent a customer my way. I appreciate you so much!

💜

When I originally signed up with the business, I wanted to build my family library and only work long enough to pay back my starter kit. I didn't want Usborne to "affect my family budget." It's funny now because it has affected it in a really positive way. I love the big family library I have, the friends that I've made, the "non-readers" that I've been able to help find their perfect book, and the extra income that can pay the mortgage if needed or pay for fun extras.

If you've ever thought about doing something like this, I'd love to help! Whether you're a homeschooler just wanting more books for your family, someone needing to pay BIG bills, or someone that wants to help get books to your favorite charity, I would love to talk!

Thanks again for being on this journey with me!

Book Review: Secrets of Animal Camouflage

One of my favorite series is our flashlight/shine-a-light books. There are hidden pictures on each page that can be revealed with a flashlight. All kids LOVE it and this title didn't disappoint! We learned all about how different animals camouflage to keep themselves safe or to hunt. What are your kids' favorite animals? #flashlightbooks

Day of UBAM

We had our first annual, company-wide "Day of UBAM" today and it was wonderful! Our home office announced new incentives, gave us sneak peeks of NEW BOOKS (coming out March 15!), and let us know that @thetagteampartypeeps will be training at our national convention in June. What has made it even better is having a girls getaway weekend in Salt Lake with one of my besties. Even though we live so close, a "business trip" was so needed (and so fun!). I love being a part of Usborne Books!

💜

If you have EVER thought about doing something like this, I'd be glad to help you on your journey! Message me and I can answer any questions you might have or click here to join.

So... if you've ever thought about doing something like this, I'd love to help you on your jouney!

Flying to space

I teach preschool and I LOVE using Usborne Books to supplement my curriculum. "Raccoon on the Moon" and "I want to be an astronaut..." were so fun to use for space day!

🚀 They also loved playing in our Hideaboo space table tent! Do you have any space-loving kids too?

President's Day Fun!

It's so hard to come back to real life after a long weekend! Yesterday, we had my parents in town, the whole family off of work and school, and we spent the day together. We made a fun stop at Scheel's first. We did some shopping, let the kids play in the play place, and then had a ride on the ferris wheel.

🎡 How did you spend President's Day? #scheelsUT #scheels #lfthx

Valentine's Miracle

This past week, I've been dealing with some health problems and an ER visit. I didn't even have time to think about Valentine's for my kids. My Instagram friend, Leigh, of @littleloveleighs, made me these darling bows and bow ties for my kids and tied them up with a box of conversation hearts. It was such a thoughtful gesture and has meant so much to me as I'm recovering. Thank you, Leigh, for making tomorrow a special day for my kids! Happy almost Valentine's, friends!
