life’s simplest pleasures and life’s greatest joys : all hung from a clothesline.
I’m not sure when I have so thoroughly enjoyed a trilogy! Not only is The Light Before Day, the third book in the “Nantuckett Legacy” series, a wonderful historical tale; but it is so relevant today. Suzanne Woods Fisher tackles important themes like segregation, integrity in journalism, valuing women and minorities, and what living out faith […]
This historical fiction series by Roseanna M. White is phenomenal and I am so glad I stumbled upon it. When the book hit my mailbox I had no idea it was the third in the series so I set immediately to reading the first two. A Name Unknown and A Song Unheard are the […]

This Courageous Journey is engaging, interesting, and while true to the historical fiction style I love, it also had a fresh and different tone to it. Misty M. Beller has written the Heart of the Mountains series, and while I haven’t read the first three books I thoroughly enjoyed this one on it’s own and […]
I cannot believe it is that time of year again for the “write 31 days” challenge. In years past I’ve written about “white space” ” cast iron cooking” “spending zero” “present over perfect” and last year landed on the 31 Days of Feeding My Family series. This year I’m jumping back on the topic, simply due to popular […]
The latest Revival Camp kit for September is here and it is the perfect culmination to this summer’s Revival Camp. I loved getting to do this study and having coordinating supplies to go with the lessons I learned. And how much fun was it for the three summer kits to be woven together, but also […]
Yes it is not even October and I’m reading The Christmas Prayer by Wanda E. Brunsetter. Boy did Brunsetter not disappoint. I never rush through fall as it is truly my most favorite season, but when given the chance to read this story I couldn’t resist “getting in the spirit” just a bit early this year. […]
When given the chance to review this joke book for kids, Crack Yourself Up by Sandy Silverthore, I jumped at the chance immediately. My eldest recently entered kindergarten and is on the verge of reading. Additionally this summer two of his dearest buddies started to teach him the art of the joke, puns in particular. And […]
Fall is here and I have all the feels. Truly as soon as school starts I get in the baking and soup mood. So today I honored that by whipping up some of my favorite Zuppa Toscana soup, tossing some apples in the Crock-Pot for fresh applesauce, and making these zucchini banana muffins. The kids love […]
The Hidden Village by Imogen Matthews accompanied me through the last few weeks as I have transitioned my family to a new home. As an audiobook it resonated in my ears and heart while I packed, cleaned, and unpacked our family. It really was a delightful and engaging story. That may seem like a strange […]
