Instill a Love for Reading in Your Child with Bookroo

Disclaimer: I received a discount on this subscription box in exchange for my honest review. I received no other compensation and all opinions expressed are my own. 
Subscription boxes are becoming all the rage. There are subscription boxes for clothing, jewelry, health products, hair products, healthy food, age appropriate activities and so much more I haven’t even named. There are quite a few boxes that I would love to sign up for, but the hefty price tag just isn’t in the budget right now. Not to mention, some of the items I don’t necessarily need, at least not on a monthly basis.
But insert Bookroo and we have an entirely different story. When Bookroo reached out to me about reviewing their company I did a bit of research and knew this was worth every penny. What is even better is it doesn’t even cost that much, it’s completely affordable!  
From day one it has been extremely important for me to instill a love of reading in Jase. I love to read. I love getting lost in stories and pretending I am right there in the midst of the characters. I have so many favorite books I would lose myself in as a child that would inspire and spark imagination like nothing else could. Now that I am an adult and have been placed into various roles throughout my life I love what reading books has done to grow me in the areas of leadership, ministry, and being a wife and mom. There is so much that can be offered in the pages of a book.
Little by little we have tried to grow our children’s book Library. The truth is, I am not entirely sure what some of the best books out there are! There have been a few we would pick up from our library and fall in love with that we knew we had to add to our children’s collection along with some of the childhood favorites of mine, but aside from that I never know which books to get. I don’t really have time to browse through book stores with two kids attached to my hip either. Books also aren’t as inexpensive as you think they would be so building a library for your child can definitely add up in cost. 
Bookroo takes care of all of the hard stuff at a completely affordable price and makes building your children’s library a piece of cake! When you sign up for Bookroo you have the option to purchase a month to month, three month, or six month plan. The more months you add onto your plan, the more of a discount you get on the monthly cost. You can also choose if you want picture books or board books in your box. 
When we received our box Jase was SO excited. He didn’t even know what was in it, but he could not wait to open it. I one hundred percent think that presentation speaks volumes for a company and when we opened the box to find each book individually wrapped in adorable paper and a sweet note from the company I was completely sold. I love when companies go above and beyond and Bookroo did just that. Jase opened every book shouting “whoa! cool!” the entire time. The books that came in his box I had never even seen or heard of and we have read them more times than I can count in just one short week and I love them! 
The retail value of the books in the box exceeds the price that you pay for the subscription which alone makes this absolutely perfect. I love that Bookroo has offered an easy solution for me to grow a library for my children so that I can instill a love of reading in them. Since we have received our books I have started a new goal with Jase where I read him a book before nap time and before bed time every day. He has come to really look forward to curling up in my lap to read a book and has helped him easily go to sleep right after. Not to mention it has been a great way to spend one on one time with him while his baby sister naps. 
I am so excited to share with you that Bookroo is offering to give each of you $4 off when you sign up here for your subscription box! Not only that, but they have an awesome promotion going on right now for the first 250 people who join, there is an option to give a box to a friend. You can read all about that here. 
If you are looking to grow your child’s library and instill a love of reading in them Bookroo is just what you need. I am already looking forward to our next box!

You deserve to exist, with the same grace and love You deserve to exist, with the same grace and love that you so freely give to your family. It’s not just about holding space for them; it’s about holding space for you, too.

You don’t have to shrink yourself to make room for others.

You deserve to take up space too.
Sometimes, the habits that helped us survive becom Sometimes, the habits that helped us survive become the hardest to unlearn. Those patterns once kept you safe, but now you’re learning they don’t need to anymore. 

Give yourself grace—you’re unlearning survival. Healing takes time, and with each layer you peel back, you’re discovering the person you’ve always been beneath the survival.

And if you’re anything like me, you’ll really learn to love her. ❤️
✨ NEW SEASON ✨ I’m not a big fan of change. ✨ NEW SEASON ✨

I’m not a big fan of change. My nervous system gets all panicky and tends to over research every possibility that could take place. It likes to tell me safety is in the details. 

But I know that’s not true.

This year has been a big year of growth for me in this department. Trauma told me control was my safety, but the truth was all I ever had was a false sense of control. 

This year has offered plenty of opportunities for me to say, “Okay God, you have my yes, wherever that leads.”

No over research. No over analyzing. No predicting every possibility. No trying to control the outcome.

Just a heart that says, “Yes.” 

Even when I don’t understand. Even when I’m nervous how it will turn out. Even when it feels like right now isn’t bad. Even when my heart’s confused. 

Even when….

God has been asking us both a lot lately, “Do I have your yes, no matter what that looks like?” Friday was the end of a season for Chad working at the Appliance Guys, and today starts a new season of a new company. It was NOT an easy decision, and it came with a lot of tears (mainly from me - are you surprised?). His boss, where he’s been for the last almost six years, has been an incredible support for our family as we walked through some of the hardest seasons of our family. They will always hold a special place in our heart.

But God said “it’s time” and my faith-filled husband said “Yes.” I have to admit, I don’t envy how hard this decision was for him. It affects us both, yes. But he had to walk it out. And I’m so grateful for His leadership and faith to Jesus to step into the next season when there are so many unknowns.

Sometimes, all God wants to know is does He have our “YES” no matter what that means. No matter what that changes. 

May I live my life in a way that has an open heart to hear from God and a willingness to say “YES” even when….

(PS he was so thrilled I made him take this photo. 😂 But I know this season will be one we forever ever want to remember, because God always shows His faithfulness).
I wonder if they would have chosen life for her. I wonder if they would have chosen life for her.

I wonder if they would have seen what was growing inside of her, and the fight that was about to come on the other side, if they would have said her life was worth saving.

I wonder if they would have discounted her before she had a chance. 

I wonder if they would have made a prediction about her quality of life and deemed her not worth the cost.

I wonder if they would have saw the life saving measures she would need and decided that it was worse to let her live.

I wonder if they would have saw everything that could go wrong, the bleak prognosis, and compared her to statistics. 

I wonder if they would have made a choice to encourage a decision that robbed us all of the miracle we see today.

Whether 48 hours or 4 years - her life has changed mine for the better. It’s heartbreaking to think someone may have once told me she wasn’t worth it.
