Hi Friends! Welcome to the month of November! You're going to want to read all the way to the bottom to see some exciting news!

My kids and I are excited about our trip to the pumpkin patch this weekend and decorating our home for Thanksgiving! We finally had a full week of normal school with our new schedule (new post about this coming soon!) and my kids loved it!

One of the things that I've been wanting to add into our schooling was piano lessons. I have search all over my area for a good piano teacher and none have openings at the moment. So last year I invested in some fun beginner piano books and my kids have loved them.

But I was reading this blog post by my friend Arrows and Applesauce (Side Note: She has a beautiful shop full of fun school resources! If you use code: RLB15 you'll get 20% your entire purchase!) and learned about Hoffman Academy. (This is not an ad.)

Hoffman Academy has 300 free piano lessons for kids! So we tried them out this week and so far it's been a hit with my kiddos! I'm excited to see them grow in their piano skills!

As part of my 182.5 Reading Challenge, my kids and I do one of my favorite things together, read! We read each day during our morning basket time new picture books and do an activity together! I have been sending our 2 favorites out to you on Monday mornings. This last Monday I was only able to give you one of them, The Pie Reports.

I was finally able to put the other one together in a post, so here it is for you and your little ones to enjoy! Balloons Over Broadway is such a fun book and we gathered several activities to go along with it as well! I'll have 2 more fun picture book recommendations next Monday for you as well!
