You named many of our favorites. 🙂 We just got a neat book at the library today called “What’s in the Garden?” by Marianne Berkes. It has a riddle for each vegetable and the the next page gives a simple recipe that uses it. The pictures are very pretty and realistic and feature kids cooking or caring for plants.ReplyCancel

Lovely list! I have such fond memories of many of those books (though there are a few that are new to me!). We love reading here as well and have many lists of favorite books. Thanks for the trip down memory lane!ReplyCancel

You named so many favorites. 🙂 I’m excited to steal some ideas from your Pinterest boards for my little guys!

We also would have to add “The Snowy Day” to our list of winter favorites. If I remember right, you had some fun ideas for that one too.ReplyCancel
Daniele @ Domestic SerenityFebruary 3, 2014 - 11:21 am

Oh yes, Brittany – we really like ‘The Snowy Day’ too! So much great literature out there. 🙂 I’m fairly sure my FIAR Pinterest board has activity ideas for this book. Thanks for commenting…ReplyCancel

I love what you wrote:
“when my heart is centered on Christ, celebrating our faith comes more naturally {more calmly!} than if the goal is simply to complete a craft or activity.”

That is so true. I’ve found that some years we do more and some less. But the biggest thing we focus on is turning our hearts towards Him.ReplyCancel

Daniele,

Thanks for this post! I’ll be homeschooling our Kindergarten aged daughter next year as well as our two boys. While I won’t be using the FIAR curriculum this year, I do plan to read aloud to her quite a bit as well as have audio books for her to listen to when I am working with the boys. I pinned this post so I can refer to it throughout the year when I am looking for books for her 🙂ReplyCancel

We have just started FIAR volume one. It’s been so much fun. Your plan looks very nice. Since I only bought volume 1 I arranged ours for the seasons too but just from the 1 volume. The nice thing about FIAR is that you can do as much or as little as you want for the day. Somedays we just keep going and others we have too many things going on so we’ll read the book and 1 or 2 activities. So much fun.ReplyCancel
