Week 14: Dive into Inspiration and New Adventures with Audiobooks!
Welcome to Week 14 of 2025! If you’re just stumbling upon our weekly challenges, don’t worry—you can jump right in now! The year is still young, and there’s so much time to embrace new opportunities and make meaningful progress. We truly believe in happiness, wellness, and blessings for everyone!
This week, we’re kicking off a challenge I’m really excited about: making a dedicated effort to listen to audiobooks together as a family. We’ve always loved losing ourselves in stories or learning from others via audiobooks, but let’s face it—life gets busy, and time often slips away. We’ve found that when we prioritize getting our audiobooks in, we experience the best family harmony and individual fulfillment.
So, the plan is simple: let’s carve out some time each day for audiobook listening. Whether it’s winding down before bed, sharing a story during family meals, or even tuning in during our car rides, we’re committed to reconnecting through the power of storytelling.
Audiobooks aren’t just fun—they also bring us valuable lessons and insights we can discuss as a family. The other day, I asked the Dadman for some audiobook recommendations focused on personal growth, and he came through with some real game-changers: Effective Communication Skills, Science at the Doorstep of God, Self Help, The Four Agreements, The Energy Bus, and Never Finished (fair warning—this one has some strong language). These titles really highlight how important it is to keep learning and growing from various sources.
I personally love The Read-Aloud Family, which was recommended by some fantastic homeschooling moms I’ve met this year. It’s loaded with insights that resonate with anyone looking to strengthen connections and truly enjoy the journey of learning—no matter where you find yourself.
The kids have also dove into a treasure chest of Yoto cards, with Brain Bots being a huge favorite. As a mom who is passionate about creating an enriching environment, I can’t stress enough how important it is to have tools that promote engagement and learning—no matter what your family or schooling structure looks like!
It’s hard to believe we’ve had our Audible subscription for nine years now! While many subscriptions have come and gone, this one has been a constant fixture in our lives, lighting up our shared experiences and overall well-being.
This week is about embracing inspiration, seeking out new adventures, and diving into this week’s challenge! Let this challenge remind you that every day holds the potential for joy, growth, and discoveries through the magic of continuous learning and story.
Wishing you all a fantastic week ahead filled with positivity and uplifting experiences. You can do it! Let’s make it a great one!

Just another mom!
