Here we are, it's time to prepare for summer vacation……and I'm so excited to share, we're launching a really fun Summer Reading Club for kids complete with a free printable Reading Chart that you can use all summer long!

Summer Reading Chart: This free printable is the perfect tool to use with your kids, it even encourages them to read 100 books this summer!

It's the time of year when we start to think about turning off the alarm clocks, long relaxing days and….summer plans.  Now this summer looks a little different than most wherever you are located…..and I'm pretty sure we're all trying to figure out how to navigate it all.  I'm really excited to share something fun that we can all participate in……our Summer Reading Club, it even includes a printable Summer Reading Chart that your kids will love!

Summer Reading Club: This free printable reading chart is the perfect way to encouraging reading all summer break!

Did you every participate in the reading club at your local public library as a kid? They were one of my favorite things to do each summer.  We kept track of how many books we read over the summer on a reading chart they gave us, and at the end of the summer, we earned prizes or a certificate.  Well guess what? We're taking it virtual!  The Lipgloss and Crayons Summer Reading Club starts NOW, and I'm dorkily excited to see you guys participate and to use this Summer Reading Chart that Abigail Art Company created.

Summer Reading Club and Printable Summer Reading Chart

Isn't it adorable? I'm so so so excited about this.  I created this to make it as easy and as fun to use as possible.  The goal? To get our kids (or you if you'd like to use your own printable version) reading and loving it.  There aren't a ton of rules here.  Our overall goal is 100 books (or chapters if you've got a chapter book reader) by the end of the summer.  You can read as a family.  You can read those books or chapters aloud to your kids.  They can do independent reading.  It can be a combo of the two.  Whatever works for y'all.

Summer Reading Chart: This free printable is the perfect tool to use with your kids, it even encourages them to read 100 books this summer!

The point of a Summer Reading Club and this simple Summer Reading Chart? To me? Is to remind us all that reading is fun.  We read for joy and entertainment, not just because we have to for school.

So how does the reading chart work? There are 100 items in the picture (they're listed on the side).  Each time your child finishes a book (or chapter for the big kids)…..they color ONE item.  For instance, there are five beach houses.  They'll color one beach house for each story book or chapter.  When they've finished all five houses, they can check that off on the side.  By the end of the summer? They'll have read 100 books (or chapters) and have completed the reading chart.  Easy and fun, right?

Free Printable Reading Chart: This summer reading chart is PERFECT for tracking how many books your kids read over the summer!

We've got a couple bonuses just for fun.  We made three colorable bookmarks and a certificate of completion!  Each of these prints on a regular printer sized piece of paper or you can order it printed on a larger size.

Free Printable Bookmarks: Aren't these fun?!?

Lydia is so excited, she's going to be doing the Summer Reading Club right along with you guys.  And me? I can't wait to see your kids enjoying the reading chart.  We'll be going live over on Instagram once a week or so to update you with books Lydia is loving, to share some of YOUR book recommendations and to even give away some fun prizes!  Be sure that you're following us over there so you don't miss that part.

I hope you guys love this reading chart as much as I do, happy reading!

🚗 Road Trips……Which one are you?⠀ ⠀ Thi 🚗 Road Trips……Which one are you?⠀⠀This weekend we flew to Sacramento and then road tripped north to see my family up in the mountains.  It was so much fun to spend time together, and it reminded me….we are ALL one of these people on a toad trip.⠀⠀Bonus points to the VERY nice road trip vehicle we had…..the team at @MazdaUSA lent us a 2023 Mazda CX-50 Turbo Premium Plus and it was AMAZING (it even had a wireless charging dock for our phones). It made my snack stops even better (yup, we tried Dutch Bros for the first time and OMG we need them to expand to more Southern California locations ASAP).⠀⠀So, which are person are YOU on a road trip? ⠀⠀#familytravel #drivemazda
….and also why are we commenting negatively abou ….and also why are we commenting negatively about people’s appearances in 2023?Double also: if the worst thing people on the interwebs can say about me is that they don’t like my smile…..then I feel pretty good about what type of person I’ve chosen to be.
💕Because we all want our kids to soar………⠀⠀So fitting right? Elvis named this plane after his daughter.  And all I’ve been thinking about throughout our St Jude experience…..is how certain things truly bond all of us.  Certain things cross economic barriers and continent and language differences.  Parenthood is one of those.  It’s a universal experience.  And I think whether we are parents or role models or aunties or friends……we all know what it’s like to dream and hope on behalf of a child in your life.⠀⠀In 2012, when I was newly married and not yet a parent one of my students was diagnosed with cancer.  Without revealing details about her or her family, I think it’s important to recognize that economic barriers prevented what should have been an earlier diagnosis.  It was one of many times I was reminded during my time with the amazing humans in my classrooms that…..we do NOT all have the same access or experiences in life.  That student and her family were one of the miracle stories.  In fact, when she came back to class, she complained about missing soccer games at recess and fell right back in with the rest in a way that to this day brings joyful tears to my eyes. ⠀⠀I said this on my stories during my trip, but…..I didn’t realize until this experience that families at St Jude NEVER receive a bill.  Ever.  No matter what.  That this access gives families hope during their darkest days.⠀⠀I’m going to be teaming up with St. Jude to do a fun challenge that will hopefully inspire y’all to support them too.  Let’s just say that…..for this scared of heights, refuses to take my feet off the ground theme park girlie……I’m going to making the ultimate sacrifices.⠀⠀What rides would you want to see me go on in support of St Jude? (be kind, I’m literally TERRIFIED of any and all rides that have a height limit). You know they REALLY moved me if I’m even thinking of doing this! ⠀⠀@stjude #stjudeambassador
💕Double tap if you know what the Peabody is fam 💕Double tap if you know what the Peabody is famous for…..so many of you guessed it in stories last night!🦆The Peabody Hotel is famous for their duck parade.  And we got to see it as a part of Day 1 of the St Jude Content Creator Summit.  I’m in Memphis to learn all about how St Jude is doing life saving research to fight and cure childhood cancers.💕Real talk: I get to do a lot of fun things because of this little app but projects like this? Are an absolute honor.  Did you know that patients at St Jude NEVER RECEIVE A BILL? What a gift to families in crisis. I’m so happy to share this next couple of days here in Memphis with y’all and to support such an important organization.🦆Now, swipe to see the ducks. @stjude #stjudeambassador
She IS Ariel. We saw it. It’s a gift. This s She IS Ariel. We saw it.  It’s a gift.  This stunning movie shows a princess who is absolutely……royal.  Graceful.  Brave and……the perfect mermaid. Years ago, I was sitting in the theater during the live action Lion King premiere just days after the Little Mermaid casting was announced.  And in walked Halle Bailey.  This young girl and all I could think was……how much weight of the world was on her shoulders.  The room paused.  And people everywhere stood.  They applauded her and smiled and I thought…..she really is a princess. Halle, you are the epitome of royalty.  Thank you for sharing your shine with the world.I would love to encourage you to follow these amazing creators who have been shining themselves and sharing a ton of special Little Mermaid experiences:@jenniferborget @erikaenchanted@davidvaughn@_the_adventurous_rjay@colormemagic@melizzablackLydia’s, Robbie’s and my full review of the film will be on the blog Monday morning.How excited are you for the film? Who is your favorite Little Mermaid character? #littlemermaid #colormemermaid #ariel
