This week I'm doing something a little different. I want to talk about the books that I am currently reading with my children. Most nights after supper finding us reading together. We always read a devotional, and most nights I read a couple of other books as well. First of all, we are reading 365 …
I recently started something new in our family. I've lowered the time by one hour for when all technology has to be turned off. Then I read to everyone. Not for an hour - I wouldn't last that long. For the first half of our reading time I'm reading Amazing Love: True Stories of the …
This year Father's Day has been a little hard. My oldest daughter and I have agreed that we will be glad when we're past it. That being said I don't want to ignore Father's Day so I've decided to use it as a time to celebrate the wonderful father that my husband was. From the …
They say a picture is worth a thousand words. Here are two pictures so I've just done two thousand words in less than a minute. Congratulations, Heidi! I'll contact you to get your address and find out which of the three children's books you want. Thank you to everyone who commented (your comments always make …
If you stay with me to the end of this post I'm going to be announcing a giveaway to celebrate our 100th Library Time post. My older children are at a church snow camp. They're coming home today but not in time for me to ask them what they've been reading. So I want to …
My next "Library Time" post will be the 100th so watch for a giveaway to go along with it! Every year I like to do the Reading Challenge that the Popsugar site puts up. Last year, for obvious reasons, I just couldn't so I'm excited to join in this year. I don't usually read every …
As per the norm, I actually have several different books that I am in the middle of: a true spy story, a mystery, a survival story and this one Mr. Darcy's Little Sister by C. Allyn Pierson. I love Jane Austen's books - all of them. I also enjoy reading books that people have written …
It's been so long since I've done a book post! Well, let's face it. It's been a long time for any post. Anyway, I'm back and hoping to get back to my regular schedule of posting. Typically on Saturdays I do a post with reading suggestions. Each of my children tells me one book they've …
I haven't been feeling well this past week so I have been doing a lot of reading while I rested, but most of the reading was very lite. I finally finished Brooklyn by Colm Tóibín. My daughter asked me to proof-read this for her. There wasn't a lot of language, but there was more content …
Okay, this is a little different today. Last week on Facebook one of my friends put up a post that said, "Books. List your top 5 favourites of all time." I thought about that a lot. It was hard for me to limit myself to only five. And these aren't necessarily my favourites, but they …
