Let it be known, I am a dreamer. I have a list of many, many books that I want to read, and I also have a very, very full life! But it is a deep desire of mine to continue to grow as a person, to grow in faith, and to live a life full […]
[I recently decided to delete the 'Currently' page on my blog, in favor of regularly posting about what things we're reading/listening to...I hope you will enjoy these little updates and please feel free to let me know any wonderful books or music you are enjoying!] If I didn’t extol it highly enough, you absolutely must […]
thirteen on thursday…hows that for a hippity series title? only there are no series promises here. just scouring my over tired brain for a title…;-) well anyway, here we go!! 1) caramelitas. every bit as incredible as the word itself. ‘caramelitas!’ you know you love it. a friend posted this recipe on twitter or something the other […]
I recently enjoyed reading “Treasuring God in Our Traditions” by Noel Piper. It seems that for many in our generation, “tradition” and “traditional” have negative connotations and are almost despised, dirty words. Traditions are really beautiful and meaningful though (especially when they are not binding or heavy!). In these first 3 1/2 years of marriage […]
some things on my mind: 1. finished. I just finished reading Bonhoeffer: Pastor, Martyr, Prophet, Spy by Eric Metaxas. Everyone around me is probably sick of it already. Somehow every little thought, event, topic at hand, etc. reminds me of something in this book. Rarely have I felt that my life was being so shaped […]

Okay, to be honest – I have no nightstand. My husband has one on his side of the bed (which I like to usurp from time to time!), but my “nightstand” is more like a stool and a basket that I drag over to serve my purposes which they were not exactly made to do. […]
I recently finished reading “Letters to Children” by C.S. Lewis (edited by Lyle W. Dorsett and Marjorie Lamp Mead) and loved it, as I felt sure that I would. As the title implies, “Letters to Children” is a compilation of letters that Lewis wrote in response to children who had written to him. Topics of […]
Last week I received my much-anticipated copy of “Loving the Little Years: Motherhood in the Trenches” by Rachel Jankovic. I started and finished reading it last week as well. At an upbeat and light-hearted 102 pages, “Loving the Little Years” is an easy read for any busy mother. There are twenty short chapters – loose collections of […]
In January I made a list of books I wanted to read this year. Books have been added or completely scratched from the list, but the idea was just to have some goals and a list to turn to when I was ready for something new to read…so far I’ve really been plugging away! It’s […]
