This printable combines two classic kids’ activities: coloring and reading. These print and color bookmarks feature cute little trees to color. They’ll also encourage reading and have space for personalizing.

Although they have very different interests, both of my kids love to read. My son might bury his nose in a graphic novel or read a nonfiction book about space or technology.

My daughter, on the other hand, can usually be found with a fiction book (or three) that weigh enough to make her backpack awfully heavy.

There’s one thing they both have in common. Neither one of them can keep up with bookmarks. Dozens come into the house from school or the library, and I’ve even bought a few. Somehow, they always disappear, though.

I imagine that they are hiding with a handful of odd socks and that one Tupperware lid.

If your child is like mine, you’ll love these print and color bookmarks. You can print as many pages as you need, anytime.

There are four bookmark designs and each one has trees and text to color. The print and color bookmarks are on one 8-1/2 by 11-inch page.

I recommend printing on card stock so they are sturdy. Although I didn’t do this, you could even laminate each one after you color and cut it out.

Of course, these aren’t just for kids. I love all the new adult coloring pages and books available. I don’t always have time to finish the most detailed pages, though. I have to admit, I also feel like I should be making something useful.

That makes these perfect because you could color them in a short time and then use them in your books. Plus, it’s a great excuse to set aside time for relaxing and coloring or reading.

I received a free copy of this item to help facilitate this review. All opinions are 100% mine.

Who else believes food is such a family thing? I sure do! I remember helping my grandma in the kitchen when I was younger, loving her delicious home cooking. I still enjoy the times I get to help her make recipes we’ve had for years! The Keepsake Kitchen Diary from Lilly & Val is the PERFECT heirloom type item that makes passing down recipes from each generation not only easy, but beautiful and fun!

This idea is so neat – a beautifully designed, spiral-bound recipe book with everything you need to keep track of your family’s favorite recipes! The cover is sturdy, and even the pages are a durable, thick cardstock type so you can be sure it’ll last. There’s pockets inside the front and back covers for you to stick notes or special keepsakes, and the cute pink tabs make finding things super simple.

For each chapter, there’s a neatly organized table of contents – don’t you LOVE it when things are easy to find? They also included several useful pages such as a Quick Calorie Guide and Ingredient Substitutes. Yup, going to be using those plenty!

As you can tell, there’s hand-drawn illustrations (by Valerie McKeehan) all throughout this DIY cookbook, from the random sketches and accents, to the fabulous chapter pages like this Dessert one…

Inside each chapter are the pages for inputing the recipes – everything from instructions, notes, difficulty level and even plenty of space for memories involved with that recipe! Fudge would be a BIG one for me, since it’s something I truly enjoy making with my grandma and have since I was little. In the back they included 12 easy-tear-out recipe cards to make sharing easier! Of course each card has a cute illustration on the back 🙂

There’s room for approximately 200 recipes in the one-of-a-kind heirloom, making it beautiful and easy to bring joy to you and the people you love (and love cooking with) for generations!
