6 Books to Cozy Up With This Fall

 Reading is and has always been one of my favorite pastime activities. I read at least 4 books per month whether it is an e-book, physical book, and lately I've been listening to audio books. Thanks to my Kindle Fire, I have surpassed my reading goal or the year, I'm able to quickly download e-books, I'm able to read at night, and I have Kindle Unlimited which is a subscription service that gives me reading access to thousands of books and magazines. I would like to share with you a few books to cozy up with during the cold months. 

I always love curling up with a good novel during the fall months. Reading a novel is a relaxing way to end a busy day. Dirty Pretty Things is a beautiful book so far and I am excited to read these other novels as well. (Pictures are clickable) *This blog post contains affiliate links.

1. The Haunting of Brynn Wilder  2. Dirty Pretty Things  3. The Restaurant

The fall season is a good time to focus on cleansing your mind and the spaces around you. Meditation and practicing mindfulness has been a daily practice for me, and I like to refresh myself with a new meditation book periodically. Hygge has been an interesting and fulfilling concept in my life as well. Since hearing of Hygge, I've been fascinated with it's views of coziness. 

4. Practicing Mindfulness  5. Hygge  6. The Year of Cozy

This fall season for me will be one of relaxation, cleansing, and enjoying time to myself. Curling up with a good book is a beautiful way to appreciate moments of stillness in our busy lives. What books are you picking up this fall?

1.  Read and learn about poetry.- As an avid reader, poetry is my favorite genre. We will be reading different types of poetry and learning to compose our very own poems. Education.com has a nice selection of poetry resources. Notes From The Portable also shares how you can teach poetry! 

 

2. Spend time in nature. - We love being outdoors in the mild spring weather. Lots of hiking, nature journaling, bird watching, and breathing in plenty of fresh air! 

3. Make seasonal snacks.- These fruit pizza crackers look yummy, how fun are these healthy bug snacks, and of course you have to make spring trail mix. We usually make dirt cups every year for Earth Day, here are the instructions on how to make them! 

4. Read about Earth Day. - For as long as I can remember, I have taken my daughter to an annual Earth Day festival at a local college. I'm not sure if we will be able to attend a festival this year but we will be reading about and doing Earth Day crafts!

5. Tell a few funny jokes for April Fool's Day!

This month will be so exciting! We have already had nice weather to begin nature journaling and poetry books have begun arriving in the mail. What are your plans for the month of April? Let me know in the comments below! Until net time.

1. Prepare for your spring garden. - Flower and food gardening is a fun hobby so we will be making crafts to decorate the yard and the garden. We will also finally be able to order butterfly larvae to raise, observe, and release this spring! 

2. Have a craft day! - Pinterest is filled with craft inspiration and is usually my go to when looking for something specific. This cute Egg Carton Flower craft looks really simple to make. How pretty is this Spring Tree Broccoli painting?! I think we will follow these exact steps, paint on canvas, and hang it on the wall. A tree broccoli painting would be nice to make for each season too. Windsocks are always fun to make and these Cherry Blossom Windsocks are so pretty! We don't have many Cherry Blossom trees here but a nice spin on these would be a Dogwood Windsock! 

3. Read March themed books.

4. Make yummy, March themed snacks. - I'm actually not a big snacker and neither is my daughter. Shocker, yes I know! But themed snacks are fun to make and enjoy occasionally. This website has 35 St. Patrick's Day recipes to enjoy. Shamrock Bark, umm yes please! My go to recipe would probably this St. Patrick's Snack Board and I could definitely see myself eating these Healthy Snacks for Little Leprechauns. 

 

 

4. Learn about amazing women in history. - March is Women's History Month and we will be learning about some awesome women who made wonderful contributions to our world. Here are some coloring pages and printables to guide you.

The spring season is probably my favorite season of the year. I am excited to do these projects this month, especially learning about women's history. What is your favorite project listed here? What are you looking forward to this March? Let's chat in the comments below! Until next time.
