I just realized that it's been a couple of weeks since I did one of these posts. I apologize for that. It seems like our Saturdays lately have been very busy. Today though I'm at home all day - happy sigh. We've had a very busy week so I'm glad to not be going anywhere …
I have many books in my library about homemaking. It's a subject I love to read and research about. Over the next few weeks I want to go through Edith Schaeffer's book: The Hidden Art of Homemaking. I think I've read this book about three times now and am due for another round of it. I …
I thought I should give an update on how I'm doing for the 2015 Book Challenge. So this week instead of recommending books I'm showing you where I'm at. I've filled in more spaces, and I obviously have some work to do before the end of the year! To date I've read 127 books, but obviously I'm missing …

This has been such a busy week. Lots of time spent on outings with family and a little trip with my husband. Of course everywhere I went, I took my Kindle with me. I was able to do lots of reading while we were travelling in the car. A few weeks ago my daughter said …
Disclosure: Affiliate Links I read a new-to-me Lucy Maude Montgomery book this week - A Tangled Web. It's all about a clan (surprise, surprise). One of the oldest members of the clan dies and leaves the coveted family jug to...well, that's the story. Who does she leave it to? They won't find out for more …
Disclosure: Affiliate Link A slightly different format this week. I just don't have the energy to find out what all of my children have been reading. The heat we've been "enjoying" has really drained me of all ambition. The little boys and I have been enjoying our books from the library which included some "Corduroy" …
