240: Nightly Family Reading for Building Memories, Imaginations, and a Calming Routine

In the second part of Carole’s conversation with Rylee and Ben Applebee, they share how this method has captured the children’s heart as they have developed a love of books. Their routines are a necessity for this family of 11 children and reading nightly has really bonded them together over the characters in the books that Ben reads. They touch on the value of motherhood and how best to foster a Godly mindset that comes with it.
