14 Classic Picture Books That Have Stood The Test of Time
There are some picture books that have just proven themselves over and over again. Of course, everyone has a slightly different opinion on which books are actually good classic picture books. Truthfully, my kids even have different opinions than me (if they had made this list Curious George would have been included). When trying to decide the criteria for what made a picture book a classic I decided to go will anything published in 1986 (the year of my birth) or before that. I think that makes me a classic in this definition. That’s one way to feel old. Next week I plan on coming back with a list of what…
Another Homeschool Resource Haul: lots of good books and games for our homeschool!
We got a “few” more new books and games for our homeschool and I wanted to share these new resources with you! I’ve been stocking up on some new books and games for the new school year and I’m so excited about some of the new resources we have.

Reading good books and playing fun games are some of our favorite fun learning activities. Some of our FAVORITE homeschool resources.

19 Picture Book Biography Stories
It’s never too early to introduce kids to biographies. I love the increase of the number of biographical picture books in the last number of years. It’s not even just the number, it’s the quality as well. Even I have learned a lot about history thanks to some well written picture books. In this list I’ve included mostly books we have read but there are also a few I’ve heard really good things about that I want to check out. I’m sure there will be a part two to this list because I can already guarantee I’ve forgotten some really good ones. If I’ve missed a great biographical picture book you…
