Cat's Library Review: Scooby Doo! Mummies at the Mall

 With Cat starting Senior Kindergarten this year and a hyper focus on her learning ALL THE THINGS in order to be able to be able to make it into Grade One I thought I would add a fun new addition to the blog where we followed along with her progress.

One of the things we were looking forward to most this year was seeing if she could get big kid books out from the library at school instead of the ones that come with one word on the page.  I am a firm believer if they don't hold their interest, they won't help them with reading.  For her very first library day she chose Scooby Doo! Mummies at the Mall because we have been watching Scooby Doo! on NetFlix.



My favourite things about this book was the activities that were included to encourage the young reader to participate actively in the book.  We are big fans of active participation in our house.  Cat's favourite part of the book was King and Queen.  

It's definitely a fun silly read and overall we give it two paws up.

    We instilled a love of books and reading in our own children at a very young age. What a tremendous help that was as they went through school! Sending my best to your Cat for a year that is fun and filled with learning!

      I am a lover of books and it makes me happy to watch my kids learn to embrace reading.

    I don't understand Senior Kindergarten...is there a Junior Kindergarten?

    When I went to school, Kindergarten was not required; when my older kids went, it was a half day and by the time the third one went - I homeschooled.

    Raising a reader is like the ultimate gift.

      I wish I could homeschool Cat, Ace isn't so bad because he is in French Immersion so it's a different caliber of learning but Cat struggles with boredom and I don't want her to lose her love of learning.

      Oh, and yes there is a Junior Kindergarten. I don't really understand the point of it either. Socialization for the kids who's parents don't send them to daycare maybe? Free babysitting? A year of me listening to how the kids would have rather been at daycare with their friends actually learning stuff?

Happiness can be faked.

What?  I know that was what I said at first.  However it really does work.

One of my favourite take aways from Gretchen Rubin's The Happiness Project is that a part of being happy is acting happy.  Playing the part of what you want to be is advice that people give you all the time in so many areas of life.  Why?  Because it works.  Dress for the job you want, act professional etc.

Acting happier works as well, when you start acting happier you are training your mind to be happier with what you have right in the moment and and it becomes a habit.

Eat to fuel your body.

Sluggish, tired from eating junk because I was always so busy me was not a fun person to be around at all.  She pretty much just worked and slept and occasionally snapped at people because they tired to make her do other things.

A part of the course I am taking is fitness and nutrition and a part of learning about that is learning how food fuels your body.  IT MAKES A DIFFERENCE.  You have to stick with it though to get through the bad parts.  The first few weeks of cutting out processed foods and cutting back on sugar were a nightmare, I felt like I was dying. DYING!!!!

I feel great now though and it takes some planning to work out days when I am busy or we are going out but so worth it.
