DC Super Hero Girls: Finals Crisis | Shea Fontana

Today, for #tiaratuesday, Princess Ellie wanted to show off her favorite book of the moment. Yesterday, her Super Hero Girls action figures staged an elaborate reenactment of this storyline that lasted more than an hour.

Ellie cannot read well on her own yet, but as an auditory learner, can memorize just about any story we read to her! We ❤️ audiobooks!

LauraBeth So cute 💕💕👑 8y

LeahBergen Oh, the sweetness!!!! I tip my virtual tiara to her and that epic story reenactment. 💗💗 8y

Cinfhen Wish we had access to video! Would have loved to see princess Ellie, superhero in action 💞💞💞 8y

The Essex Serpent | Sarah Perry

Current vibe—warm light, smooth wine, soundtrack: The Fugees, and a book that only 20 pages in I can tell is damn good. Yeah, it's gonna be a swell evening.

ErickaS_Flyleafunfurled Been dying to get my hands on this one! 8y

saresmoore @ErickaS_Flyleafunfurled I was lucky to win a copy in a giveaway! I can already tell it is worth every bit of the acclaim it has received. 8y

LauraBeth This looks like a lovely evening 😀 8y

saresmoore @LauraBeth I wish you could just pop over and join me! 8y

SharonGoforth Enjoy your evening! Excellent book choice 😊 8y

LauraBeth That would be awesome! Instead, I have to go slog to the gym (trying to encourage the husband to get his act together and get healthy - it is like herding cats) 😀 8y

EvieBee Fugeela! 8y

saresmoore @LauraBeth SO MUCH of the life of a wife & mother is like herding cats! And then we bring home actual cats! 😼🤦‍♀️ 8y

saresmoore @EvieBee84 🙌 8y

saresmoore @SharonGoforth Ohmygoodness, it's so wonderful! 8y

LeahBergen Oooo, I was having a wine tonight, too. This looks lovely! 🍷 8y

Cinfhen I'm feeling the vibe🙌🏻love the Fugees - it's actually #TiaraTuesday in my part of the world....expecting a photo of princess Ellie later today, fairy wings optional 😉 8y

The Quiet Enemy: Stories | Cecil Dawkins

I'm thoroughly enjoying the second story in this this collection on a stormy evening. Dawkins has quite a fascinating way with words. I want to be her friend.

Not pictured: Princess Elliott in a crown and ballet slippers, because every day is #TiaraTuesday. 👸🏻

shawnmooney Oooooh, is that the one with the characters Jimmy and her husband Burt the Trader? If so, that was probably my favorite in the book! 8y

saresmoore @shawnmooney Yes! Good memory! It was weirdly wonderful, with tangents into meta reflection and characters described so vividly to begin with, then left undeveloped. The story felt unfinished, but I suppose that's the only way it could have been, given the subject matter. Her quirky descriptions and long sentences are reminding me of Elspeth Barker a bit.

LauraBeth #tiarathursday works! 👑😘 8y

Cinfhen Or #royalthursday @LauraBeth 😂🙌🏻👸🏻 8y

andrew61 I've not heard of this author but it looks very good, more book hunting! 8y

saresmoore @andrew61 She's a wonderful writer with a really unique storytelling style. She was a friend & contemporary of (and more or less mentored by) Flannery O'Connor. Her writing is based mostly in the American South (Georgia) & Southwest (New Mexico). 8y

Hobbinol Reading on a stormy night is the best!⛈⚡️👍🏻 8y

saresmoore @Hobbinol I love storms! 8y

Van Gogh Cafe | Cynthia Rylant

Today we are imagining and depicting the unseen fourth wall from Van Gogh's bedroom in the yellow house. Or I should say, "Monsieur Vincent's" bedroom, as the Arles locals would have called him, right @Libby1 ?

Our spring poem for today referenced a lark, so we'll go off on a musical tangent, too. Formal lessons can wait, right?

christineandbooks You're a homeschool rockstar...👌 8y

LeahBergen This is all kinds of brilliant. And I need to start working a tiara into my own daily home wear. 😂 8y

GypsyKat What a clever idea! 8y

Hollie @LeahBergen me too! We'd be fabulous! 👑 8y

MayJasper Inspiring 💫 8y

saresmoore @christineandbooks Oh, thanks! It's the days that aren't in pictures when I'm more like a homeschool roadie, or at best a groupie... 8y

saresmoore @LeahBergen @Hollie At some point, I'm determined to find her a tiara that isn't plastic. For a six year old, she takes surprisingly good care of her accessories! 8y

saresmoore @GypsyKat @Mayjasper I can't take credit for the art idea, I subscribe to a neat website for those lessons. 8y

GypsyKat @saresmoore may I ask what the website is? My cousins homeschools her two kids, and I'd love to pass it along. 8y

saresmoore @GypsyKat Of course! The website is http://www.arthistorykids.com/ , the subscription with lesson plans is called The Studio. It might be closed for new sign-ups through May, but there is a ton of great info on the site. Another site is love is brightly.com —loads of book recommendations! I swear by it! 8y

GypsyKat @saresmoore Thanks very much! I'll let her know. 😊 8y

LauraBeth 💕💕👑 8y

Hobbinol How wonderful 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻And I think I will too @LeahBergen ! 8y

Suet624 I want you to be my mommy. 8y

saresmoore @Suet624 Funnily, MY MOM has told me the same thing! That probably reveals a lot about my childhood. 🙃 8y

Suet624 I can imagine my kids wishing you were their mom too. 😀 8y

MamaGina I ❤️ this! In another life I was a museum tour guide and loved teaching children about art. Their comments and questions were always so much better than the questions adults asked me🤓 8y

saresmoore @MamaGina How cool! It's true about kids & art. Ellie's depiction of Vincent's fourth wall was minimal, with a single painting of sunflowers in the center. I didn't even think of that! 8y

Cinfhen I love the tiara on Tuesday look 😍 8y

saresmoore @Cinfhen I think I can feel a Litsy movement coming on! @LeahBergen @Hollie @LauraBeth @Hobbinol #TiaraTuesday 8y

Hollie Yes!! @saresmoore 8y

readinginthedark Fun! 8y

Moray_Reads What a great idea! 8y
