I'm so excited to have the Shiny Sparks article series back in the blog rotation. I love learning about and discussing the different ways creative people stay connected to that inner spark. This week's installment is a treat. Her instagram feed inspires me, so I reached out and asked her to be a part of Shiny Sparks and was delighted when she accepted.⠀

Last weekend we had the opportunity to take our children to a live musical. We love participating in cultural events like this, but with a small entertainment budget, we don't often get to go to the higher cost events like live theater. That's one of the many reasons I'm so appreciative of our public library's summer reading challenge. My children have received some wonderful prizes as a result of consistent reading over the summer. That's how we were able to enjoy the musical ‘Diary of a Worm, a Spider, and a Fly’ last weekend at the Dallas Children's Theater. The show was super cute and my kids are still talking about it.

Since we're starting to enjoy the benefits of our reading efforts, I wanted to repost my summer reading guide. This short blog post offers resources both online and locally where you can encourage your child to read over the summer.⠀

Check it out at the link in my bio "recent blog posts" and share with a mom friend. What's your favorite summer reading program? If you don't do reading programs, do you participate in any educational camps or online programs? Share your favorites in the comments.⠀
