Join the 2020 Summer Reading Challenge!
The 2020 Summer Reading Challenge kicks off today! I am so excited to host this with Jaclyn from Coffee, Pancakes, and Dreams. This is our 2nd year hosting the challenge and we are excited to have you join us!
Do you love to read but feel like you don’t have the time to read now that you have kids? You are not alone.
But it doesn’t have to be that way.
We can find the time to read, even with kids around! Keep reading for tips to find the time, after I share about the challenge details!

Download the bingo card.
Head here to get the bingo card. Then you can save it to your phone or print it off.
Start reading!
The bingo card is fun because it encourages us all to read a variety of books.
Check-in for Tuesday Book Favorites.
Every Tuesday, Jaclyn and I will be sharing on Instagram about what we are reading. You can follow along with us (Keri and Jaclyn).
Let us know when you have bingo!
Bingo is 5 across, 5 up and down, and diagonal. When you get Bingo you can email me a picture of your Bingo Card with the marked bingo or share a picture on Instagram and tag us (Jaclyn and Keri). On August 15th we will draw a winner to receive a $25 Amazon Gift Card!
Tips to find time to read as a mom:
- Have a daily reading time and when your kids read, you read too!
- Read while the kids play.
- Get on your library’s website and put holds on the books you want to read. This is a lifesaver because then when they are ready you can pick up. Trying to find a book when you have a toddler is a challenge we do not need to face.
- Read before bed instead of scrolling the phone.

So excited to start this challenge! I lobe your ideas for reading more. I just started reading before bed and it helps me fall asleep:)
This sounds like such a fun challenge! I mentioned on Jaclyn’s blog that I’ve been slacking in the reading department lately. I might need to join this and get myself in gear!
I️ definitely need to incorporate more reading into my life! Before kids, I️ could read a book in a day – now I️ can’t imagine having that much free time! haha
Oh my gosh, how fun is this?! I love it! Great way to get motivated to read more!
Thank you! Yes, I love reading but have to remember to make the time.
