life's simplest pleasures and life's greatest joys : all hung from a clothesline.
Devotions from the Kitchen Table by Stacey Edwards is one I picked up because my parents’ kitchen table changed my life. And it changed, and continues to change, the lives of so many people. I have a love for “the table” and have written about it often here on Inspiration Clothesline. After reading the book […]
This book, The Magic of Motherhood, by Ashlee Gadd is so perfectly titled. Magic is so elusive and uncertain, just like Motherhood. It is enthralling, can be exhausting (especially when trying to figure it out), and wholly engaging – mind, body, and spirit. The essays in this book address each of these key components […]
You guys I’m a reader… But I can’t think of a time I read a book in a single day. Two sittings, about 12 hours later and I had this book devoured. I would admit that the topic of adoption is of high interest to me, but even beyond that this family’s story is what […]
Finding a children’s book that is this beautifully written and reflectively illustrated is a rare treat. I not only love the quality of the product and the vivid, colorful printing; but even more importantly the story of self-assurance, sense of self and others, and the truth that we are loved by God.

The themes of freedom, rescue, calling, confession, rest, grief, weakness, celebration, bravery… they are common themes among […]

More specifically you’ll get a review of Jennie Allen’ new book, Nothing to Prove by Jennie Allen and my own personal reflections and journey with this idea […]
Oh my this book! Happily Homemade by Rachel Schultz has captivated me. I cannot believe how gorgeous the photography is, how practical the recipes are, and how easy this book is to use. I think I have a new favorite. While there are new (to me) ingredients or new ways to use them, like using […]
So I’ll be honest. I’m new to the world of coloring and truthfully I could use your advice. I was thrilled to get the chance to review “Jesus Calling Creative Coloring and Hand Lettering” by Sarah Young because I truly am new to this form of creativity and the book itself is so inspiring. As […]
31 Verses to Write On Your Heart by Liz Curtis Higgs is such a wonderful resource. I have determined to memorize more Scripture this year and this book was a fabulous place to start. It is a wonderful combination of tried and true, familiar verses coupled with many that were less familiar to me. Higgs breaks the verses […]
