Review: Dot-to-Dot Philadelphia
Since I live “out west” I haven’t had many opportunities to visit historical and cultural sites on the east coast. In fact, I’ve only ever been to Pennsylvania once. We spent one day in Philadelphia and visited Independence Square and other sites with significance to early American history. When I was offered the opportunity to review the We Are Connected…

Review – A Light So Lovely
(Obligatory Disclosure: I received a copy of A Light So Lovely in exchange for my review. This post also contains affiliate links.) As a lifelong avid reader I have read many, many books. I know I read A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L’engle long ago, probably as a teen. I just vaguely remember the story line. It wasn’t my cup of…

Tennyson Tidbits
You know how easy it is to go down bunny trails on the internet, following one link to another to another until you are way off track from where you originally started? Turns out, old books can have the same effect. I found several lovely vintage hardback books at a local thrift store last week. Granted, none of them were…

Love Inspired Blog Tour
I have to admit: formulaic romance novels are not my top choice of reading material. At least, not at this stage of my life. However, as a teen and into my twenties I would seriously binge read them. It wasn’t so much the romantic happily-ever-after plot of each one that drew me in, but the variety of settings and situations…

Review: Pass It On
Unless you are part of my family you may not know that for about 18 years in the 1990s and early 2000s I published a monthly family newsletter that I mailed out to my extended family. I started it not long before my children came along at the encouragement of my parents and grandparents. It turned to be a wonderful…

Review: Adored
For the past couple of years I have enjoyed Bible journaling. That is, having a Bible with lined margins for jotting down my thoughts and copying verses as I read through the Bible. It has made my Bible reading and private devotion time more meaningful. But then, I like to write. Not everyone does. I get that. So when I…

Review: Reading People
Did you ever take one (or more) of those silly online personality quizzes? Which Winnie the Pooh character are you? Studying personality types fascinates me so I was happy to be selected for the launch team for Reading People by Anne Bogel. I received a free copy of the book in exchange for my honest review. As Anne explains it…

Review: Rule of Law
Typically I enjoy legal thrillers. I have read and enjoyed several titles by Randy Singer, so I was happy for the opportunity to review his new book, Rule of Law. I received a complimentary copy from LitFuse in exchange for my honest review. Here’s the publisher’s description– About the Book: What did the president know? And when did she know it?…

Review: My Daughter’s Legacy
About a year ago I read the second book in the Cousins of the Dove series by Mindy Starns Clark and Leslie Gould, My Sister’s Prayer. I enjoyed how that story explored sister relationships but it did kind of leave me hanging since it is the middle book of a trilogy. I was happy to have the opportunity to…

Guest Post: From Diet to Edit
When my friend Kelly told me that her new book, From Diet to Edit, would be releasing today, I asked if she would be willing to write a guest post for my blog. Kelly has long been pursuing a healthy lifestyle and has encouraged many to do the same. I’m delighted to have her share today. From Diet to Edit…
