How is it that I blinked and summer is officially over? This is one of my favorite places to read a good book, but I’m not anywhere near done reading a stack of books I should have finished last week. Sure I could blame it on the view, but I’m making a commitment to catch up—no matter what! . . That means I will read a few hours every day this week and next. 😱No excuses like work, babysitting, hiking, houseguests, stargazing, or I spread 5 yards of mulch yesterday and forgot. 😳 Yes, I did all those things. You did too, right? 🙀 . Have You finished your summer reading list yet? If not, what are you reading? Let’s do this together. • • • • #reading #readingnook #writing #amwriting #books #bookstagram #picoftheday #writerslife #booksofinstagram #readinglist #thingstodo #summer #mountainview #bookish #photography #summerfun #bookworm #bookworms #reader #bookwormproblems #summerreads #readersofinstagram #dovestoriesauthor #dovestorieschildrenschapterbook #cooandflutter #childrensbooks #kidlit #childrensliterature #kidsbooks #livethelittlethings

Cute painting, right? I love dancing bears, and dancing 🦌 and 🦊,🐴 too. These three rascals kinda remind me of four little boys I knew many moons ago. I remember my sons horsing around in the fort my husband built in our backyard (with a little of our help), playing football, and watching movies every summer. I always made sure we had an hour of reading and rest time after lunch. I loved stealing a few precious moments to cuddle with them on the couch. The older boys read silently and I read to the younger guys. We made so many great memories every summer. They’d run and try to ride the waves at the beach, or carve and whittle their own walking sticks before we took long hikes in the mountains. Reading time fits in with those fun summer memories. My oldest loved adventure stories or action hero stuff. One loved sentimental stories like the Frog And Toad or the Berenstain Bears series. The two younger boys loved Magic Tree House, Magic School Bus, Harry Potter, Etc. Today, two of my sons have 2 children each. 🤭😳That’s crazy! Now I cherish the days when my little grands come for a visit. They love books too. They like to choose their favorite stories off my office shelves so I can read to them. To many moms and dads, Labor Day signifies the end of summer. I say hold on to it forever. Let the little bears dance all year! Do certain photos, books, or paintings bring back great memories of your kids or your childhood? I’d love to hear about it. 📚😘💙 • • • • • • #children #reading #read #summer #summerfun #family #familyfun #books #dancingbears #threebears #writersofinstagram #momofboys #kidsbooks #kids #grandkids #childrensbooks #dovestoriesauthor #kidlit #bookish #bookworm #summermemories #memories #childhoodmemories #mountainstories #dovestorieschildrenschapterbooks #writerslife #mountains #beach #dovestoriesthegardenershelpers #livethelittlethings
