(I firmly believe that if you don’t enjoy reading it, your child won’t either. I am in the process of sorting through them, organizing them and making sure I keep the best quality ones that the children and I both enjoy reading. You see, as a former early childhood teacher, I accumulated over a thousand picture books in my decade teaching. You can read more in my disclosure policy. I’m building up quite the free audio library and I wanted to share these tips and tricks with you. While my main source of audio books used to come from the library, I have since discovered several ways to get free or cheap Audible books on Amazon. I also have learned to enjoy listening to audio books. I have thoroughly embraced the free Kindle app on my phone and love that I can pick up my book whenever I have a couple spare minutes. Since my time for reading is more limited now, I have learned to read whenever I find spare time. What’s most important is that I am reading to and with my children because I want to instill a love of reading in them. Now that I’m a mom of four little ones, I’m not reading the 100 books each year that I used to read (Yes, I am fast reader, too) but I am still reading quite a bit. When I discovered how to get free and cheap audio books from Audible, I knew I couldn’t keep this secret to myself!įor as long as I can remember, I have always loved curling up with a good book to read.

Oh, I’m so excited to share today’s post with you! You see, I’m an avid reader but I also am a frugal reader who loves to save money.
