And then there is this one. The Lord laughed when this one dropped into my lap. He is BUSY,full of energy, loves pranks, and pulling one over on you. I call him my sour patch kid, he‘s a little sour but then so sweet. He still wants his momma to hold him and read to him before being tucked in and I will hold onto that for as long as I can!
Many of you have watched my babies grow up so I might as well update everyone. This was the last run of Haiden‘s junior year. Next year banners will fly every race with his face to honor him and his fellow senior runners. Scholarships are coming in and my mommas heart is so sad and so proud. Slow down time. It‘s going too fast.
Why not add another animal to the Manzi farm? Hours at the barn have given me lots of time to read and study. β€οΈ
I can not wait to try this coffee. Kittycorn lives in the couch to be loved by all and I absolutely be love my pumpkin more than anything, it goes perfect with my house. And the book is PERFECT for Halloween!! π thank you so much!!! #Coffeebeanbookclub
Another amazing package for our #cbbc (it arrived on time, I however, did not post on time). The kiddos begged to have a piece of the candy as a treat in their lunch box. You know how to make us all happy! Thank you!! #coffeebeanbookclub #illovetheseguys #whohasthelingestrunninglitsygeoup?
I love our group so much #coffeebeanbookclub thank you so much for such an awesome package!! (Note the m&m candy is already open lol) I needed pens so bad and we all laughed when I opened the purple bag with its cute monster face. Love love love it!
Another AMAZING package for #coffeebeanbookclub. Thank you so much! The puzzle is beautiful and oh my GOSH the whole box smelled amazing because of the bath bombs (yes they are already opened because I had to get a closer smell lol)
I love our group!
@Eggs #wondrouswednesday
π₯yep! This year with a double dose of church (penny is singing in the children‘s choir) then family lunch and egg hunt.
π₯ not at all. Between two jobs, parenting, food poisoning, and school this month is kicking my hiney.
π₯ my family and animals!
I‘ve found myself reading in the chicken run lately. The girls are all healthy and full of character. THEY STARTED LAYING!
Amazing AMAZING package, thank you!! And ooooh you have no idea how bad I wanted The Ex Hex!!! I pushed my coffee for this month aside to have this coffee, cannot wait to try it in the morning. My 7 year old literally faught me over the pen (she won the battle but I will win the war!) and note there are eggs missing already (I hid them WAY up high, winning the war and all). Thank you!!!! #coffeebeanbookclub
My mom got dragged to the Daytona 500β¦. How cute is she!?
I am blessed enough to work in a field where I have freedom of time and have been able to be therefor almost every pick up, drop off, race, game, and dinner with my little ones. Never thought I could ask or want more. BUT another perfect βdream jobβ fell into my lap. I am now a reading coach at our elementary school. I have k-2 come through my class. I get hugs in the hallway from my 5 year old and I get to eat lunch with my 7 year old. β€οΈβ€οΈ
Our #LittleFreeLibrary had such an awesome party after school today. I am so happy I get to be apart of these kids reading journey! Hopped them up on sugar, made the cutest bookmarks, and got to pick from tons of books! #startthemyoung #readersmakeleaders
My layout app isn‘t working for some reason but I wanted to let you know I got my #coffeebeanbookclub package!!! There is SO MUCH more fun that came along with this. I‘ve been needing a good red pen so I am so excited about this! Thank you so much!!
Excited about my pink and red February reads! β€οΈπ

I have become MIA from MOST of the internet lately. It was a hard but also amazing year for my family. Some of y‘all know May and June were scary for me. But everyone is thriving and my husband made not only one but two of my dreams come true. I have a beautiful little free library AND chickens. Here are 4 of the many. I‘m happier than ever, just want time to slow down with my babies (and to catch up on my reading!).
The past two weeks have been beyond crazy. I‘m sorry I‘m so late opening/posting. My little man got sick (and is still fighting it) and had to stay in from trick or treating while my other two got to go. This package legit saved him from a full on melt down. Between the jelly window clings, and the awesome diy lanterns (and Shrek‘s Spooky Tales on tv) you seriously saved Halloween. I LOVE my books and can‘t wait to start them! THANK YOU!!!
Our LFL, The Monarch Manor, opened last week. It was a crazy wild ride and thank God my BFF drove over to help me set up, make sure I ate, and kept my nerves down. I was so scared no one would show up. That was not the case though, we ended up getting 37 books into kids hands in ONE afternoon. I‘m so excited I get to bless children this way! It was a great success!!!
#hauntedhallowswap my packaged arrived and I almost opened it! I thought it was from my step mother in law who is also a Patricia that lives in New York! Then I had a really good laugh, becauseβ¦. What are the odds! So excited!
I‘m waiting on one more thing from Etsy and then mine is hitting the road.
The.Monarch.Manor owns my heart! Can‘t wait to get books into so many children‘s hands! Thank you to everyone who helped us get on our feet!

Can we talk about how awesome this dude is? He absolutely hates reading, doesn‘t understand why I do it so much, enjoy it, or spend money on books (I know, I know, he has good qualities too, I swear!) BUT he loves me enough to learn how to wood work, paint, seal, and about a million other little things to make my hearts desire come true! Our families very own LFL!
I had the complete joy being able to watch my husband and dad put the base to our little free library in today. About to start working on the garden around it. Waiting for the clear coat to dry on the actual βhouseβ part.
We did a little βlightβ pruning this weekend before we put up our Little Free Library (don‘t want any branches falling on it!). The support pole and surrounding garden goes in this weekend!!!
My September tbr (that we all know isn‘t going to get read THIS month) I love cozy mysteries, YA, historical fiction, and fantasy so this is the perfect line up for me!
Please help our Little Free Library reach our goal of 100 books in childrenβs hands. We are located a few homes down from the neighborhood k-8th school, so many of the bike rider/walkers go RIGHT PAST OUR HOUSE! We have the opportunity to impact so many children and hopefully start or foster their love of reading and learning. Please repost!

My BFF @Ahw06 let me barrow her book of the month book. THEN came in to get her hair done and set up my kindle to link with my library. I‘ve been wanting to do it forever but I‘m not very tech savvy. First thing I downloaded was book two of the Well Met series! Thanks Ash!!!
@Kshakal you have no idea how excited I am about my coffee mug. I saw one like this the other day but talked myself out of it. I‘m so glad I waited because you got me one IN MY FAV COLOR! Thank you!! #coffeebeanbookclub
Another day at the library with this kid. (All 3 actually went, this is the only one who slowed down). Our library finally opened up the seating area and were so diligent with sanitizing everything. SO happy with the privilege to be able to read and have so many books at my hands (and all my littles!)
Picked up this beauty a few weeks back with Penelope and Ashley. We managed to see an escaped pet hamster get captured. Never a dull moment with those two around.
How is it August?! This is my Aug 2021 tbr pile. Special nod to the end hook that my BFF let me barrow from her book of the month program!
We took a field trip to the Library last week. I turned my back for one sec and he had piled all the books on the couch (I restacked after the photo).#growreaders #readersmakeleaders
@Kshakal I‘m pretty sure the cold brew candy is made up of some addictive drug. I can‘t stop eating them. Thank you so much for such an awesome package! This months book has been on my tbr for a while so I am so excited to read it! #coffeebeanbookclub
Fluffball Renegade is growing way too fast. Roman wants to change his name to βLisaβ I think we should rename him Sir Destruction. He has discovered how to tunnel through pillows and knock things off tablesβ¦ like books, candles, and drinks. I‘m still in love with him though. Definitely more action than any four of the dogs! #catsoflitsy #FluffballRenegadeMeowCowManzi #akaLisa
And the winner isβ¦. @Avanders she got four and three. I‘ll be putting your prize together starting NOW! β€οΈ#coffeebeanbookclub #iloveourgroup
#litsychallenge We all know the holidays are going to be here before we know it. Let‘s clean up our Litsy #tbr lists so we aren‘t scrambling when the holiday swaps start happening! #repost and tag @Mommamanzi
Littens! My best friend joined Litsy!!! She has carried my through the past couple months. Pretty much the worst months of my life and just when I didn‘t think she could get any better she decided to explore her passion of reading again.
Please add and give a warm welcome the Ashley @Ahw06
@Kshakal the coffee smells AMAZING! And I love my cups, thank you!! I love our little book club #coffeebeanbookclub
Just in case y‘all were worried, he is officially an inside ONLY kitten now. And he has Penelope to carry him wherever his heart does and does not desire. She informed us that βJesus sent her Fluffball so we can‘t return himβ ..... I‘m not opening that can of worms with her so yes, he‘s ours. Haha β€οΈ
At this point I am just going to change my name to The Manzi Zoo. After we rescued Millie a little over a year ago I thought we were DONE with trying to save the world. But NOPE... we had been hearing a dog squeak toy for about a week in the back bushes of our yard. Penelope swore it was a cat (she was right!) Meet the newest Litten Kitten Fluff Ball Renegade! #Littenkitten #catsoflitsy
Ask me how proud I am of Miss Penny Pie?! A few of you know she has been struggling this year with her reading as she is going through eye therapy. She has two eye turns and only 1% depth perception. And yet she persevered.... don‘t know why it says 2017 BUT it is what it is. She went back into a school setting with only 2 months left to go and NAILED it.
Penelope was born an old artistic soul and I am so grateful to be her mom.
@Kshakal I am not going to lie. That candy bar didn‘t make it an hour out of the postal packaging. Penny and I ate it during our spelling studies haha. It was a great motivator for both of us. I‘m in love with the pot holders. Thank you so much!! #coffeebeanbookclub #yallmyfav!
