Construction Site: Merry and Bright! The construction crew is getting ready for Christmas just like we are. They’re busy putting up the tree and hanging the lights!
This book is a Christmas version of one of our favorites, and the lift-the-flap style makes it so fun. Another holiday book that we’ll look forward to every year…

Shhhh, little Cooper, only one more night until Santa comes! Goodnight, goodnight 🎄🚧🎅🏽🚜

Modern Lyjenna Thanks!

Believe in your #shelfie ✨ “Goodnight Goodnight Construction Site” has always been one of Ledger’s favorite books 🌃🚜💤 we couldn’t wait to get him the “Construction Site: Merry and Bright” holiday version and it was a hit!⁣⁣⁣

If you have a truck-loving toddler check out these books! We even stopped on our most recent road trip to watch construction work. He didn’t want to get back in the car. So glad I got a pic that day. Swipe to see!

Construction Site on Christmas Night 🚧🎄
After the craziness of the coconut and rice bins I needed to find a simple filler that wouldn’t make a mess. I ended up using cotton balls to create the snow for our Christmas construction bin and it was perfect! My daughter loved scooping and filling the trucks with “snowballs”

This is our new Christmas book for the year and we are loving it! 🎄

Thank you to teach.read.mama

•One week until Christmas!
My boys visited Santa today and they are waiting patiently for Christmas Day. There’s nothing like seeing Christmas through your children’s eyes.

Here are a few of our favorite Christmas books and you can find more in my highlights or an entire list in my private FB community!
What’s your favorite Christmas picture book?

Rescue and love...

I am ALL ABOUT rescuing old things and surrounding myself with objects that have a story and a past — (and, ok, I DO love a deal!) … Liquor cabinet: purchased at a charity shop for $195 and painted (oil-based enamel) • Off-white chairs: 5 purchased for $125 from FB Marketplace; recovered, tufted & nailhead trim added • Chandelier: FB Marketplace, $90 • Wingback Chair: inherited and recovered with designer hunting dog fabric remnant (back and sides had to be done in a different fabric) • Round Black Table: Wayfair purchase! • Club Chairs: Snagged from a friend’s ( @paulapetersenborchardt ) garage (!); reupholstered (the bolster pillows are embroidered with my grandmothers’ initials 😢❤️) • Old Plate Rack: spray-painted flat black (thanks, @rinkerphotography !) • Leather-topped Rectangular Table & Lamp (vintage finds): FB Marketplace

Our Christmas tree filled with bits of memories...

Our Christmas tree is filled with reminders. Bits of memories hang from the branches — reminders of what we’ve done and where we’ve been, of who we once were, who we’ve loved and who we’ve lost. It’s an emotional journey, looking at all of it — bittersweet. But, ultimately, it’s a reminder of how incredibly blessed I’ve been in this life, to have been a mother to beautiful little boys who have become remarkable young men, to have walked this earth with amazing people in so many wonderful places — with faith always alongside.

More to come...Construction Site: Farming Strong, All Year Long

Thank you, @booksgrowminds for this incredibly kind post. I’m honored. And, just a teaser: Next year will bring: “Construction Site: Farming Strong, All Year Long.” I’m really excited for truck-loving kids to meet Big Tractor and Small Tractor, (and all the cool tractor attachments!), Pickup Truck and Combine Harvester! Lots of work to be done on the farm, in every season!

Do you have a little builder? My kids LOVE construction vehicles. Love may be an understatement. For example, last night while my husband I were cooking dinner, we kept tripping over my son who was lying on the kitchen floor, Demolition book in hand, flipping pages while rolling his little @shopcaterpillar truck back and forth. That kind of love.

@sherririnker ‘s Construction Site, New York Time’s Bestseller series is out of this world. This series centers around several construction vehicles who work together to problem solve and build. The stories focus on teamwork, collaboration and friendship. This set would make the most a m a z i n g gift this season. We enjoy the colorful illustrations, vocabulary, teamwork and rhyme schemes in this series and we can’t wait for even more additions to our collection!
