- NEED Some MOTIVATION to READ??? || Join me and my kids for MUFFINS AND A MYSTERY
Calling all Book Lovers!!! Have you been in a reading slump lately? Struggle to find time to read? Me too! I love reading but have been struggling to get started with a new book. I am starting this new series called Muffins and a Mystery! We're going to bake muffins together and start a new mystery book and hopefully kick off a new reading sprint to the finish line! I hope you enjoy!

I am a full time caregiver and have many health issues of my own. Im home a lot, dont have much free time, and must walk a lot for my health. I walk laps in the basement daily. 5-15 miles a day and i have worked up to read walking now❤. It helps me get both done
That’s inspiring! I don’t know if I could read and walk at the same time…but I can audiobook and walk! ❤️ so awesome that you’ve figured out how to make it work!
@@ourthriftyhomeschool😂. It was not easy at first but I love to do both now😊. We are adaptable. ❤❤❤
I loved that your oldest daughter mentioned that Colleen Coble was a Christian author. I’ve never read any of the books you ladies mentioned. How do you choose “safe” mystery literature? Would Brendalyn Collins be clean for kids? What a great idea. You are a blessed family. ❤
It's been a few years since I've read any of her books but I think Brandilyn Collins would be ok for older teens.
Yes! We try really hard to only read Christian or "clean" books in our home, so its a given to her. I'm glad she mentioned that though!
I think Brandylin Collins could be ok for a teen that can handle crime type books. It has no language or inappropriate content in her books, but it does have death and maybe scary descriptions....so I wouldn't have my younger daughter read her books, but my older two would be fine.
I have gotten familiar with the Christian authors and publishers out there and pretty much limit myself and my kids to those choices. I have a video from a couple years ago sharing a couple websites that help with my choices. I'll link it below.

The group reading was cute❤
Thank you! 😊
😂Cooking with Toni! ❤I enjoyed this a lot.
yay! Thank you! ❤
I love this idea! Great way to break a reading slump.
Thank you! So glad you enjoyed it! ❤️
Love this…and I would totally watch a cooking show starring Toni…”Keepin it real!”
Woohoo! Thank you! ❤️
My kids and I are starting school today... I think I'll make some muffins.... 😊
Yay! I hope they turned out! I'm glad you were inspired! 😃
Cute series idea, can’t wait for more!
Thank you! ❤️
I love how you keep your books in those baskets. Super cute idea.
Those look like great choices, girls!
I love your mission to read more. I have designated reading time into the school day for my kids. If it’s something they think is optional I’ll get all the push back. For me though, I need to hear audible books. I usually play them (free on Libby) while I do errands.
Thank you!
Yes....if its optional, they tend to choose to do something else unless they're majorly into reading at that point.
I am a huge Libby fan! Some of my books are half read with a paperback and half audiobook! Its so helpful to bounce back and forth when I don't have time to sit and read.
Hello from British Columbia, Canada! HS mama of 4 :) PS, I love the new shirt from your thrifting haul! It's so flattering! May God bless your homeschool this year!
Hi! ❤️
Thank you! 🥰
I love it. You’ve become an online “buddy” to so many of us, and this was fun. Good work 😊
Awww thank you! That is a huge compliment! ❤
Love this! ❤
Thank you!
I love this idea!
Yay! Thank you! 😊
Such an awesome idea!! I am totally trying this 😊
Yay! Thank you!
Love this
Thank you! ❤️
I have been in a reading slump also. Hoping to find a good one to pull me out.
I hope you all update us on the books you are reading!
I have read a couple of the Case Closed with my kids.
They are fun because it is kinda like choose your own adventure. You make a choice at the end of each chapter and either it is. The right one and you keep going or it says case closed and you start over. 😂
Thank you!
I loved choose your own adventure books when I was a kid! I didn't even realize that's what her book was....so fun!
We will definitely update!
What a fun, creative video! You are so personable that I feel that I am right there with you.
My 13 year old daughter loves to read (like me) but she likes fantasy (usually dragons) or adventure books. I usually like historical fiction or mystery.
I love baking muffins!
Thank you so much for the compliment and encouragement!
Two of my girls like totally different genres of books as I do too! ❤
Cute baskets on shelf
Thank you! That was a recent amazing deal! ❤️
I love reading! I finished Rachel Hauck's "The Memory House" recently and really enjoyed it. I'm now reading Corrie Ten Boom's "The Hiding Place" and wondering why I never read it before. So good!
I was just looking at The Memory House. That looks good! I Love the Hiding Place!!! Amazing true story! ❤️❤️
Excited for your new video! I've been in a bit of a slump since having our last baby. But as he gets older I'm hoping that'll change. Either way, he's worth it. Ok, now to watch the video. 😊
Thank you! and congratulations!!! How exciting! ❤
Do a cooking show on here once a month! I love this-- Muffins and a Mystery on Monday--review last month's mystery and start a new one... then read through the month... and do the next episode for youtube! Test out muffins or scones or any baked good... but go with the alliteration. You can also review baked-good recipes. :)
I love it! I’m so glad you like the idea! ❤️
I will find a delicious recipe for next time! lol 😂 thank you for the support!
I love this!❤ I would totally subscribe to your cooking show😊
Yay! Thank you!
You are so funny! I feel like we could be good friends in real life😂
Awww thank you! 🥰
Could you add an egg yolk or applesauce to help the muffins.
See that’s what I was wondering! It needed something to add moisture. Maybe applesauce!
I just finished Tuesdays with Morrie and an reading a walk in the woods by bill bryson. Language warning for bill bryson. Im going to read Ive seen the end of you by the Christian brain surgeon dr lee warren whose son was stabbed to deatu years ago. He has a podcast to help us cooe with hard things
I’ve heard of Tuesdays with Morris but never read it. What did you think about it?
Thank you for sharing! ❤️
@@ourthriftyhomeschool i know tuesdays with morrie has a good message but to be real I hated it. Morrie follows agnosticism with hints of buddism and morrie believed he was more enlightened to the meaning of life due to dying. It felt very much like the author was knighting morrie the messiah and we should pay attention….
Just found your channel. Thank you for sharing. We homeschool our 4 kids also. Wondering if you guys have thought about your husband seeing a functional doctor or functional nutritionist? I'm only asking because after getting covid 3 years ago I struggled with a lot of neurological issues myself , saw multiple doctors that just kept pushing meds. Then I found a functional nutritionist. She has helped me quite a bit. I'm still struggling with insomnia and anxiety unfortunately but thankfully it's manageable but taking a while to 'get back to normal'...❤
Thank you for the suggestion…my husband did see a fictional nutritionist at some point during this journey…I think it helped some, but not majorly. I’m glad that’s worked so well for you! ❤️
Did you go back to work?
Not yet. At this point, God is providing while I work from home on odd jobs, including TH-cam. So we'll see what the future holds.
