Review: Courageous Love
My all-time favorite book series has got to be the Little House books by Laura Ingalls Wilder. I was first introduced to them when my mother checked them out at the library to read to us at bedtime before I started school. The problem was, one chapter a night just wasn’t enough. I couldn’t wait to learn to read. Just…

Review: NIV Journal Bible for Girls
Bible journaling is a creative trend that I’ve been enjoying this past year. I enjoy spending time copying scripture and dwelling on it while I doodle. I’ve found that it’s a way to slow me down to think more deeply about scripture because I tend to read quickly and miss details. I shared a little bit about that last summer.…

Review: A Spectacle of Glory
Usually when I share a book review it’s for a book I’ve finished. This time, I’ll admit, I have not yet read the whole book. That’s because it’s a daily devotional book, meant to be read throughout the year. Another thing that’s unusual about this review is that I don’t often use a devotional book. I know they are quite…

Book Review: The Enchanted Barn
My friend Heather and her family moved into a barn this summer. They really did. Isn’t it pretty? You can read about it on their family’s blog: To Sow a Seed. I’ve always thought it would be kinda cool to live in a barn. I have Grace Livingston Hill to thank for that. When I was a teen I loved Grace…

The Last Ride – Review
The Last Ride is the third book in the Circle C Milestones series by Susan K. Marlow. I received a free copy from the publisher in exchange for my honest review. This series continues the story of Andrea Carter from the Circle C Adventures series for younger readers. The Milestones series is for young adults, and I think The Last Ride…

Vintage ABC picture book
Today, boys and girls, we are going to learn the alphabet. There will be a quiz, so pay attention, please! This is a “weekend re-run” from 2009 featuring a darling vintage picture book that was among some other old books that were given to me that summer. The cover is missing and there is not a copyright date on it, but the…

To Kill a Mockingbird
Good lighting… and story telling. Or more specifically, the Summer Photography Challenge for Day 2 is: “…to go out and practice using light and telling a story with your mobile phone camera.” I’ve been re-reading To Kill a Mockingbird this summer, and I’ve recently started working on mug cozies again to get my Etsy shop re-stocked for the fall. So…

The Bargain – review
The Bargain by Stephanie Reed is not your typical Amish romance story. The heroine of the novel, Betsie Troyer, is indeed a young Amish woman, but the setting is primarily outside of the Amish community… and the time period is 1971 (during the Vietnam War) which adds some historical interest to the story. I loved getting to know the characters,…

On Distant Shores – review
I have thoroughly been enjoying the World War II romances by Sarah Sundin. Her most recent book is On Distant Shores which is the second book in her Wings of the Nightingale series. The main characters of On Distant Shores are Georgie and Hutch, a flight nurse and a pharmacist, both working on the front lines of the war. It…
