Valentine Reading Picks

9 Feb
Spread the love
  • Tweet

Over the fall, I decided to pick up one more thing to do around here – become a seller of some of my favorite books out there – Usborne. I love their books and my girls do too so it seemed like a good fit. While I joined at the most hectic time of my life, I did it with good intentions and even if I’m really getting started a bit late, I am still excited to see how it goes. With that being said, I do have a few of their books and others that are perfect for Valentines Day with your kiddos. So here are some of our favorite Valentine Reading picks!

PRINCESS & THE PEA AND SLEEPING BEAUTY PEEK INSIDE BOOKS

I really love these peek inside books that allow your littles to see what’s coming on the next page and even see what they just saw on the last.  It keeps the book inviting for your kids and their imaginations going!  These Princess Peek Inside options are fun for Valentine Reading because they are fairy tale loves stories, but can go all year round too!

I LOVE YOU HOO

I really love how this book flows… I Love You Hoo is adorable and the rhyming feel is perfect!  I also love the look of this book… it’s cartoonish, but has a whimsy feel.   You and your littles will love reading this together at bedtime!

THE APPLE OF MY PIE & YOU COMPLETE ME

The most adorable board books.  I love the play on words with these different foods.  They are perfect for preschool age kids who are learning to recognize words, foods, and remember little sayings.  This one is great Valentine reading for those nuggets!  

POP-UP FAIRY TALES SLEEPING BEAUTY

We have found that Usborne has the most engaging and beautiful pop-up books!  You might have heard us talk about The Three Little Pigs but this fairy tale seems a little more appropriate for Valentine’s Day… just a little.  hahah.  It’s still kind of a dark story.  But who doesn’t love fairies and sleeping love stories?!

OTHER READING SUGGESTIONS

WHERE HAPPINESS LIVES

Where Happiness Lives is the most beautiful story of how happiness isn’t always the same and doesn’t always come in the same little pretty boxes.  I love that it is engaging with lift and flap peek-through pages.

CUDDLE BEAR’S BOOK OF HUGS

This book is the cutest little book of hugs!  Teaching kids how you can practice with your teddy bears and not make them too tight or too loose!  It’s adorable!  How do you hug?!

A few others we are going to pull out for this week are:

Beautiful Oops
Don’t Tickle the Hippo
A is for Awesome
Forgotten Fairy Tales of Kindness and Courage

Now which ones will make the cut to the girls Valentine’s Day Baskets?!
Hmmm….

⁣
Because Ella loves art so much I think we will have a mix of things but today on the blog {link in bio}, I’m sharing my favorite picks for artwork above Ella’s bed!  There’s trees, rides, and sayings... and I am just not sure who will win out! ⁣⁣

This little tiger was made by my cousin @teethdreams and I’m excited to finally have a home for him.  He actually has little tiger friends who have gathered too!  In fact, we have three now!  Will they all make the cut?! Swipe to see our collection. ⁣⁣

It’s that time of year again to revisit those fu It’s that time of year again to revisit those fun red white and pink candy-cuterie boards!  This year we gave ours a little XOXO feel! ⁣
⁣
All these sweets came from @dollartree, @homegoods, and @target!  All together it was maybe $25!  @dollartree is my favorite place to. Grab supplies for candy and food boards like this! ⁣
⁣
Do you make candy boards?  This one barely made it to pictures!  The girls were eyeing it the entire time I built it!  But almost everything was only $1 so I could afford to grab a few extras for the candy snatchers! ⁣

You’ll find the list of more inspiring movies over on the blog - hellomissmartha.com - and I think they are all good for most ages!  We watched Remember the Titans on MLK Jr Day and I was amazed at how many questions Ella had so we are pushing into this a little more and celebrating Black History Month with movies and more! ⁣

Let’s talk kitchens. 👩🏼‍🍳⁣ ⁣ What Let’s talk kitchens. 👩🏼‍🍳⁣
⁣
What’s your favorite color scheme for kitchens?  I’m thinking this will turn to a moody neutral room. We shall see. Woods, linens, and some wooly texture maybe?! I need to warm up these cool gray floors. I was thinking a little funky at first, but I’m already doubting my initial mood board game plan and ready to nix those teal chairs that made their way from the old house...⁣
⁣
Today on the blog I shared the mood board, sources, and what I’m working towards in this area although it’ll be a long ride... ⁣
⁣
I said when we moved I wanted a more adult house but my kids remind everyday with their actions that we probably aren’t there yet.  Their continual love of slime and just being pretty sloppy over all is interfering but we are working on it 🤣🤦🏼‍♀️⁣
⁣
Anyone else’s kids preventing them from moving on to more adult feeling rooms in their house? ⁣

Also, trying out some presets from @nickypresets on this photo (and in my stories) — what do you think?! I actually think it makes my home feel more like what it really feels like than I can capture with my phone so I’m loving it!
