I have heard from so many of you over the past few weeks who are either still weighing school options or have decided to homeschool in the fall due to Covid-19 and its far-reaching effects. I am so excited for you! You are nervous and overwhelmed, excited and hopeful all at once. I get that. This is a huge life […]
Each month I share short and sweet reviews of the books I’ve been reading lately. These are the books I read in June 2020. It’s been difficult for me to focus on much of substance lately. You’ll see that I’m leaning heavily toward lighter, more comfort books than I normally do, and I’m okay with that. 100 Cupboards by N.D. […]

Being in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic has thrown me for a loop reading-wise. Everything feels so weird. My attention span is next […]
Each morning I sit down with my children for a ritual we call Morning Time. It involves singing a hymn, memorizing scripture and lots of reading. We read from a collection of books each day, enjoying learning together from books on a broad range of topics. Morning Time makes up the backbone of our homeschool. We have read so many […]
Each month I share short reviews of all the books I’ve finished lately. I’m always looking for books to add to my list! Have you read anything awesome lately? I’d love to hear about it in the comments! I realized the other day, that I never hit publish on this post in January… or February. Yikes! I’m embarrassed to be […]
Every month I share short and simple reviews of the books I’ve been reading lately. You should know that I don’t generally have a problem setting aside a book if I’m not interested in it. There are just too many awesome books out there to waste my time on one I’m not into. However, there are also books that I […]
Hiya, friends! I’m not quite sure how it happened, but somehow I forgot to post about the books I read in October. It’s possibly because my oldest daughter and I were on an adventure in Washington DC when I normally post, and it may also be due to the fact that my schedule has been pretty nuts, not allowing for […]
Hey there! I’m happy to share my thoughts on the books I read in September! While I read some really great books, I feel like it was a pretty slow month for me. I just haven’t taken the time to just sit and read very much. But I was still able to finish 8 books this month, and I’m on […]
August has been a crazy busy month for us. Between soccer tournaments (aka lots of driving), starting a new school routine (our kids are going one day a week to on-site classes), and a new very-part-time job for me (teaching art at the charter school) it felt like a really slow reading month for me. I still managed to finish […]
Hello there! Each month I share short and sweet book reviews of what I’ve been reading lately. July felt like a bit of a slog, to be honest. While I finished ten books, and enjoyed most of them, I didn’t have any books that I just couldn’t put down. What un-putdownable book(s) have you read lately? If you’re a reader, […]
