Okay. So I recognize that I have really dropped the ball in posting book reviews—or anything at all—lately. What I have been doing lately is trying to read more, so I do have a good list to share with you for the last couple months. (Plus, I added a couple that I read before Christmas…
We were out of town so much in August that I was never able to get the July book report up, so I am combining July and August. I didn’t have the chance to read as much as I would have liked this summer, anyway. I really enjoyed the books I did read, though, and…
I didn’t read as much in June as I had hoped I would. The kids got out of school on June 8 and that first week was crazy busy. I always hope that once summer begins I’ll have a ton of reading time, but this year has just been different since my kids are older…
Welcome to my 2nd installment of “What I Read This Month.” I’ve decided to post it on the 13th of every month, so unless I don’t read any books, you can expect this feature each month. May got pretty busy at my house, so it’s amazing that I read 5 books last month. The end…
I am really excited to begin a new series! I love to read and I want to share the books I have read with you regularly, and I figure a “Books I Read” monthly series would be the best way to do that. Since we are almost to June, I am going to start out…
I have been voraciously reading Dark Before Dawn by Monica McGurk this week so that I could write this post by today—the official release date of the book. It’s the third and final installment of the Archangel Prophecies series and I have been anxiously awaiting its release so I can finally read about what happens!…
Sometimes I’m in the mood for a really deep read that makes me think, but sometimes I’m just in the mood for an enjoyable and fun story. I recently read Dear Jane by Rachel Ward, a new LDS romance, and amazingly enough, it fit both bills for me! Dear Jane begins while Quinn is serving her…
Parenting isn’t easy. And the older my kids get, the harder parenting gets. They have so many things to deal with that I never once came up against, plus all the same hard stuff I did face as a child, too. Sometimes I feel like I’m somewhat equipped to help them through a situation because…
Thank you to Monica McGurk for sponsoring this post. Learn more about Monica and her books here. A while ago, I reviewed Dark Hope, the first book in the Archangel Prophecies Series by Monica McGurk. I am really excited to now review the second installment in the Trilogy: Dark Rising. Read my review of Dark…
I love to find new Christmas activities that help point towards Christ and an attitude of service. But I also like those traditions to be easy to do and not cost a lot of money. Those are the best kinds of traditions! I recently read a beautiful new Christmas book called Christmas Wonders by Robyn Buttars….
I’m sure I’m not the only mom in the world who is concerned about the rate at which my children consume the internet. Whether it is Instagram or Pinterest or Facebook, my children seem to spend a ton of time sitting on the couch looking into their mini-screens. Even though I have placed plenty of…
I am the mother of three daughters. One of them just finished her freshman year of high school. Another just finished her first year of middle school. The youngest still has a ways to go before I start worrying about teenager stuff, but if it happens as fast as it did for her sisters, she’ll…
