(This post contains affiliate links. See disclosure.) Books we recommend: Every now and then, I like to post specifically about some of the books we’ve been enjoying recently, so this is our latest installment of book recommendations. Big thanks to 12-year-old Kathryn for her input! Black Star, Bright Dawn – Scott O’Dell A young girl [...]
I’m a reader. Books are my friends. But Kathryn reads even more than I do! Every now and then, I’ll share some of our favorite reads, with a bit about each, so you can add you think interesting to your own “To Read” list. Living Book Recommendations for kids (and older!): Gentle Ben by Walt [...]
Hope for the Weary Mom is being re-released! LaToya has read this new-and-improved, expanded version, and shares her review here today… —————– Motherhood is hard work, but I’m sure I don’t have to tell you that. There are moments where I am completely overwhelmed by the task of taking care of my children. These are [...]
There’s a whole lot I don’t know about raising kids {crazy, right!?!}, and I’m always on the lookout for resources to help me figure things out a little bit more. When I find something good, I want to share because I’m guessing I’m not the only one who still has a few things to learn [...]
When Ashley announced that she was writing an e-book about father-daughter dates, I jumped at the chance to review it. After all, there just so happens to be a father and two daughters right here in my house, and my husband already makes a point of taking our girls on dates (like the annual Father-Daughter [...]
These e-books both have “foster” in the titles, but they are not just for foster or foster-adoptive families. They are written for any adoptive family dealing with kids who may have trauma in their past. I received both books for the purposes of review, and it made sense to include both reviews in one post, [...]
Frumps to Pumps – a motivational devotion by Sarah Mae: I received a copy of this ebook in exchange for an honest review. I expected it to be good, because Sarah Mae is an insightful and entertaining writer, but I didn’t really think I’d get much from it. I don’t need to be convinced to [...]
You know that runner’s high people talk about? Or even a shopper’s high? I don’t get those (because I don’t run and I’d just feel guilty if I went on a big shopping spree), but I do get a sort of euphoria from a seriously clean and organized home. In fact, clutter makes me temporarily [...]
No matter how busy or distracted life gets, I like to keep a few books at hand. They keep me sane. I love the idea of having different books that require different concentration levels, so I try to have at least one “deep” read, as well as a good fiction story that holds my attention. [...]
I’m never not reading something. I have stacks of books all over the house: next to my big green chair in my bedroom, next to my favorite chair in the living room, on the ottoman, on the fireplace hearth… all ready for when I unexpectedly have time to squeeze in a chapter or two. Here’s [...]
About a week ago, I completed reading the entire Bible in ninety days, thanks in large part to the fabulous YouVersion app on my iPhone. (YouVersion gives you a little badge every time you complete any reading plan, so this is a screen-shot of mine!) Actually, I completed my reading in a little less than [...]
Because of my CRAZED organizing/cleaning rampage last week, I didn’t do as much reading as I thought I’d do. But that’s okay. I have another stack of friends books waiting on me. And they are very patient. I did manage to read a few, though: 1) For Young Women Only by Shaunti Feldhahn and Lisa [...]
