In our home, reading is always a top priority. It is such a valuable skill and can easily be incorporated into each and every day! I feel that it is so important to encourage a love of reading in children so I am extremely excited to announce the Adventures with Books Kids Book Club!

Adventures with Books Kids Book Club

No matter where you live, you and your entire family can take part in the fun! Children as young as 2 can participate and you, as the parent,can learn alongside your children.   Each month on the 20th, I will announce the next month’s theme along with a few of my favourite titles. This is will give you some time to gather any books that you have related to the theme and/or order one of my favourites.

Join my Adventures with Books Kids Book Club and have fun learning about a new theme each month! #bookclub #kidsbookclub #bookclubideas

On the 1st of each month, I will send out an email with a few of my favourite activities related to the theme.

Throughout the month, we can all post in our private Facebook group what we are doing, suggestions for activities and questions. This will be a fun way to share in real time what we are reading and how we are using the themes in our own home!

My goal with the theme each month is to tie it into our learning as much as possible. You don’t need to be a homeschooler to participate. If you aren’t a homeschooler, you could use the theme for bedtime reading books. You can do as much or as little as you would like, maybe you would just like to read one book and do one craft per month. Or maybe you want to read a new book each week with a new activity!

Join my Adventures with Books Kids Book Club and have fun learning about a new theme each month! #bookclub #kidsbookclub #bookclubideas

Share with Friends and Family – A Local Club?

Do you have a friend or group of friends that would like to join? You can share this post with them so they don’t miss out on the fun! The best part, you can then have your own local book club to go along with the theme where you do a group activity and/or craft together. Maybe even a field trip?

Ranching with Kids
Though I spend most of my days multi-tasking betwe Though I spend most of my days multi-tasking between all the tasks of being a mom, I tend to get my BEST work done outside in the fresh air. There is just no better place to be with three young boys than outside, running off all their energy and living life on the ranch! Who agrees?
Wow! Winter came in with a blast! We are now feedi Wow! Winter came in with a blast! We are now feeding hay once per day to our 2 year olds and a few of the older cows. We will soon start feeding the cow herd hay as well. But right now, the cow herd is grazing some amazing grass that we had saved for when the snow arrived. We also supplement them with protein tubs to make sure they get sufficient protein as the grass may not have quite enough protein this time of year. 

PS - This is one of the photos in our 2023 calendar, which we are now taking orders for.
What a busy week and it’s not over yet! Between What a busy week and it’s not over yet! Between hauling square bales, moving sheep fence, helping the boys with their show projects, checking hay, running the boys back and forth to the tractor for their “turns” baling hay, beef deliveries, tending to the garden, and doing all the other mom tasks, every day has been full. But I wouldn’t have it any other way. Being a mom on the ranch to three incredible boys is so special. Watching their keenness, enthusiasm and love of life is the reason why I do what I do. However. I have to admit, I am not sure how to keep up to their energy level sometimes. They don’t tire out!

This is important so that we can ensure that the animals are healthy and have adequate water and salt.  It is also very necessary to check the condition of the pasture to help us determine when the cattle need to be moved to maintain, and often to continue to improve, the land and the grassland ecosystem.

I felt like I was constantly getting discouraged as we couldn't stop the lambs from getting out of their fenced pasture.  Then, I reflected on what I have been learning on social media by watching other sheep producers. This gave me a fresh outlook and I was able to figure out a new solution for all of the sheep to help better manage their large pasture and keep the lambs contained.  Everything changed, and all it took was a new perspective.  I didn't need to continue doing things the way that I had been.  Sometimes we just need a new perspective. Do you agree?
I will be the first to say that I was a bit scepti I will be the first to say that I was a bit sceptical about using electric fence for our sheep as I haven’t had the best experience in the past.  However, I am now 100% confident in using it while increasing our grazing potential for sheep on our operation. We currently use 2 sets of the electronet with the energizer from @fencefast_ .  I was amazed with how well it is keeping the sheep in, even when it is placed within tall grass. It is helping to protect the ewes with lambs from predators and allowing us to rotational graze the pasture. We are resting some areas of the pasture that have been grazed heavier and grazing areas that have a lot of grass that needs to be used.
