When people ask why I kept reading the Emma M Lion books when I wasn’t really into them until book 5?

Frankly, I have no good response

I think mostly so many people had raved about them that I wanted to see what all the hype was about. Plus, I WAS enjoying them by book 3 - just not obsessed with them

How was your Emma M Lion experience?

I’ve also linked my other top reads of 2025!

What did you think about this week’s section of book club? What stood out to you?

And if Ryan Gosling isn’t your dream Ryland Grace, who would you have cast instead??

Time for week 2 of book club (book is Project Hail Mary)

I think it’s safe to say I love Tarte! These lip products are so good and super popular. (Perfect for tween and teen Easter basket stuffers especially with these cute charms!)

Usually they are $27 each but this set of 4 works out to $6.40 each with the code WELCOME2026

That is a WILD price! (And they have free shipping!)

I get requests for books to read aloud in a classroom almost every single day!

As a former school librarian, I have read aloud hundreds of books to classes of all ages and these are some of my tried-and-true book titles!

#LTKKids

My girls have been using these pencil cases nonstop! Perfect for traveling, backpacks, church bags, or even Easter basket stuffers.

They are so cute, so functional, and most colors are under $10!!!

The best part of my daughters pickleball lessons - I get an hour to read! I’ve linked the romance novel I’ve been reading. ❤️

Off to pickleball lessons and trying out a new sports bra. (I always try the $20 option first! 😂)

#LTKActive

Got the cutest phone call from my mother-in-law last week 🥹

*The eyeshadow palette I am using is on sale - it’s the best one I’ve found since my beloved Flekk palette was discontinued. (Use code FAM35)

#LTKSaleAlert #LTKBeauty #LTKSpringSale

These lists of 20 books per grade level have been such a fun project for me this school year and I love that you’ve enjoyed them so much too!

I’ve linked the 4th grade list below.

These girl’s Reef sandals never go on sale - so 49% off is kind of a big deal.

We are OBSESSED with Reef sandals in our house (my teen daughter has worn hers all over the world).

You know how you know you are old?

You have a favorite vacuum (in fact, I’m so old I have TWO favorite vacuums 😂)

One of them is my Shark vacuum which I’ve had for 12 years. It just keeps working like a champ year after year.

Then I got a cordless vacuum (Dyson) and it changed my life!!! @qvc qvcpartner

#LTKHome #LTKSaleAlert

You all went wild for this Tarte mascara sale yesterday.

Use the code FAM35 for 35% off and free shipping on my all-time favorite mascara.

Also, this lip product is on HUGE sale (and would make a great gift) - the code won’t stack on it, but if you get something else using the code, you’ll still get free shipping.

Powered by 10% Nano Hydroxyapatite which fills in microscopic enamel irregularities - that helps reduce
stain buildup and improve overall tooth smoothness (plus you get better light reflection off your teeth!)

This is a new release and it’s selling really fast - I’ve linked it below! @lumineuxhealth #lumineuxpartner

Even easier than the whitening strips - their new toothpaste. It’s the #1 best seller in the teeth whitening category on Amazon.

My husband and I have both been using it. It’s terrific! We just ordered some for our teenager.

#LTKBeauty #LTKselfcare

I can’t believe this is 50% off right now!!!
I’ve been using this for 5+ years an it is so good, not greasy at all.

#LTKSaleAlert #LTKSpringSale #LTKBeauty

First priority for Ella was whitening her teeth (I felt the same when I got my braces off at 16)

We watched Castle together while we both used these (so good for sensitive teeth!) @lumineuxhealth #lunineuxpartner

This was such a cute dress for my daughter’s school dance!

I’ve wished for ages that I was one of those people who could slide by on a few hours of sleep (or sleep anywhere!) but those aren’t my gifts 🥴

I need a solid 8 hours and I need them basically every night!

So when we travel, I know that prioritizing sleep is a big deal (for me and for the rest of my family!). Making time to get a good night sleep and packing my sound machine and some melatonin are non-negotiables for me because I’m just not interested in spending my whole trip exhausted and grumpy.

Smoking deal on these three historical fiction audiobooks!

I wish I were an expert at this, but frankly it’s hard to find cute, affordable dresses for tweens and teens that don’t look too young or too old and that fit a changing body!

I’ve linked some of my favorites below!

#LTKKids

I love a top-notch audiobook for the whole family when we go on a road trip! #AudiblePartner

It’s a nice break from screens (especially for my kids who get headaches or carsick!), it’s a fun shared experience, and it makes the miles fly by a little faster.
I’d love to hear what your favorite family audiobooks have been!

I have this $9 tee in white and black and it comes in a bunch of other colors too!

So good

I did a reel like this a few weeks ago and it was so popular that I’m making it a series!

I’d warned her that Lola blankets were expensive so she was prepped not to get one.

And then when she opened the box and saw the Lola tape on it, her face was everything I could have hoped for. (My affiliate code is EVERYDAYREADING)

Being a parent in moments like this is just the best of the best!

I’ve linked all the gifts she got for her birthday below. 👇

#LTKKids

My #1 favorite sunless tanner (and I’ve tried so many over the last decade). I started using this last year and it instantly took the top spot - I use it once a week year-round for the most natural, streak-free glow.

Perfect for spring break trips and getting your glow back as the weather warms up ☀️

Use code JANSSENB15 to save (you can also buy it on Amazon, but my code won’t work there).

#LTKBeauty #LTKSeasonal #LTKSwim

My #1 favorite swimsuit! It comes in six different patterns and is currently on sale for 40% off!

#LTKSpringSale #LTKSaleAlert #LTKSwim

This just goes to show you never know what gifts will be the biggest hit!

These were a winner on Christmas morning and have been used nonstop since then at school, church, and road trips!

And under $10? Yes please!
(Also would make a great Easter gift!)

Book Giveaway 3/3

For kids who struggle with stiff jeans, I’ve found the perfect soft jeans that have an elastic waist and drawstring. (They are soooo cozy!)

And right now, they are on sale!

This was a better reading month than January (and a shorter month too!)

12 books still puts me behind but I’m slowly catching up!

You can tell spring and spring break are right around the corner - from mini sound machines to pencil cases, everyone is ready for warm weather!

I’ve linked all these February best sellers (plus the other 6 most popular items!) below.

I never feel badly about classics I missed growing up or in high school because they’re so fun to discover later!

(I was absolutely floored by The Giver when I read it as a college student! It was so good that after I got married, I read it aloud to my husband).

What classics have you not read yet that you’d like to?

I’ve linked all my readalikes for A Tree Grows in Brooklyn below.

When we moved to Utah 7 years ago, we decided we’d do a winter escape trip every year

This weekend we drove down to St George and soaked up the 70 degree weather, sunshine and pool time ☀️

Here were the items that earned their place in our bags this weekend!
