    Pinners Conference & Expo

    September 19, 2024 /

    Last year David and I were blessed with tickets that allowed us to attend Pinners Conference & Expo and we had so much fun David promised when they returned this year he would take me back to the event. But the LORD had other plans for our family and I didn’t think about the event being this weekend until I saw a ad for it. I hope if you don’t have time to do anything this weekend that you take the time to visit the Pinners Conference & Expo and check out all the wonderful vendors and classes. The event isn’t just for women but men and even children. We…

    This week I’m sharing a closer look at the Dollar Tree Book Club Kit, something I picked up as a simple, budget-friendly way to add a little structure and fun to reading time. Now that I’ve actually opened it and gone through everything, it feels less like a “kit” and more like a light reading companion set. It’s not complicated or overwhelming, and that’s part of what makes it interesting. It’s designed to sit alongside whatever you’re already reading and give you a loose framework for thinking about the story in a more intentional way. Inside the kit, there are themed prompts and simple reading discussion-style elements that guide you through reflecting on a book without making it feel like work. It’s very straightforward—more about encouraging conversation and personal reaction than anything formal or academic. What I noticed most after laying everything out is how flexible it actually is. It doesn’t lock you into one type of book or one style of reading. You can pair it with something light, something emotional, or something more dramatic, and it still works the same way. It adapts to your reading style instead of trying to change it. Seeing it fully opened also makes it feel more useful than it first seemed. It’s the kind of thing that works best when it’s sitting on a table with a book already open next to it, not something stored away. It naturally invites you to slow down a bit and actually think about what you’re reading as you go. From a value perspective, it still holds up as a simple, low-cost add-on that makes reading feel more intentional without adding pressure. It’s not trying to be a full system—it’s just a small tool that supports whatever reading habits you already have. Overall, after opening it and seeing everything included, it feels like a practical little reading companion that works best when you’re actively in a book and want a bit more structure around your thoughts without turning it into homework.
