Happy Monday, Friends!
We had the BEST weekend! I know the crazy spring season full of ALL THE SPORTS AND ACTIVITIES will be here before we know it so I’m trying to enjoy the relaxing moments we have now. I hope you guys are READY for the week. Last night I got our life in order so the Slaughters are SET. Who am I kidding? We’ll be good today and then a big ole mess by Tuesday. 😉
In the meantime, let’s talk BOOKS!
Ebby Lee loves reading so after discovering how much I loved my KINDLE-I decided to get Ebby Lee one for Christmas. She was so excited about receiving this gift and packing it for our road trip was nice and easy.
I hit up Instagram to ask YOU for book recommendations for fourth-grade girls. You guys hooked us up with a huge list of recommendations. Lots of you asked me to pass on this list, so here we go.
First, I want to say-I haven’t read all of these books so I apologize if there’s anything remotely inappropriate. I’m just compiling the giant list you guys sent me. There were a few small things people mentioned that needed discussing so I included that with each book.
And, I’m sure our kiddos are all on different reading levels so some of these might be super easy for your fourth grader or a little on the difficult side. Either way-I hope you find something for your daughter, grand daughter, niece, or super special girl in your life.
