Tonight I was feeling a bit on the depressed side. For four months I've been dealing with a health issue. It's not serious, but it's always there. I'm just so tired of never feeling 100% great. Anyway, I was feeling sorry for myself and knew I needed to pull myself out of the funk I …

Disclosure: Affiliate links About six weeks ago we drove an hour and a half to our favourite used book store. They have a month-long, 50% off sale twice a year, and we try to make it to at least one of these sales. Generally I'm busy helping little ones (and sometimes big ones) find books. …

Disclosure: Affiliate links This week in between scrapbooking and updating the look on my blog I read a lot of fluff. I did also read quite a bit more of The Black Count: Glory, Revolution, Betrayal, and the Real Count of Monte Cristo by Tom Reiss and am really enjoying that. //ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com/widgets/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&OneJS=1&Operation=GetAdHtml&MarketPlace=US&source=ac&ref=tf_til&ad_type=product_link&tracking_id=healthpreser-20&marketplace=amazon®ion=US&placement=0307382478&asins=0307382478&linkId=PQVPZJYMQIQ5EHUW&show_border=true&link_opens_in_new_window=true 16-year-old daughter - Rifles for …

Disclosure: Affliliate Links I read two good books this week. I've found a book that my middle children will enjoy - The Bad Beginning by Lemony Snicket (Can I just say I love the way that name trips off your tongue when you say it? ☺). It's the first book in a series called "A …

It's Saturday again already so that means another look at what we've been reading. I read this great book - Some Hats, Some Girls and Hitler by Trudi Kanter. I bought this with my birthday gift card and only paid $6.00 - bonus. It's about a lady who was a milliner in Vienne and how she got …

This week I downloaded a book that a friend of mine wrote - The Adventures of Little Angel. It's a sweet children's book about a little angel and what she does in Heaven and her favourite story about Jesus dying on the cross for our sins. There's another one as well that I plan on …
A Book List for Little Ones
Because I have been asked more than once what books I would recommend for young children I thought I would do a post devoted to a few of my recommendations. Some of these are not readily available anymore so you'll have to keep your eyes open at garage sales, thrift stores, etc. I'm listing these …

Early in December one of the bloggers I follow - The Humbled Homemaker - did a post on planning her reading for 2014. That inspired me to do the same. Last year I bought quite a few ebooks. I wrote out a list of what I wanted to read this year and came up with …
