The world changes so quickly that it’s difficult sometimes to read the Bible and understand how it applies to our world today. The world we live in isn’t anything like the world that the Bible talks about. That’s one of the reasons why I enjoy reading Christian books. It makes it easier for me to […]
Mr. Selfridge Season 4 on DVD
I have always loved all of the British dramas on television. I cannot tell you how many hours I’ve spent curled up on the couch with a cup of tea watching British programming. My Mom got me hooked when I was younger. She’s actually traveled to England a few times and gotten to see some of […]
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Beyond the Known Universe
If you’ve ever wondered how Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles could possibly get any better, I have the answer: just add monsters, cyborgs, and aliens. It’s got everything you can possibly need all rolled into one. Yes, my kids are grown now, but I cannot tell you how many times I walk into the living room […]
Nature Coloring Books for Adults
If you follow me on Instagram, you know that I share a lot of photos from my walks through the woods. I love exploring the woods and fields around my home so it only makes sense that I’d enjoy coloring in a few nature coloring books for adults to relax after my walks. Flowers, birds, […]
Remember, Just Be You by William Campbell
Teaching children the importance of just being themselves is something that in society today is so overlooked. We all want our children to fit in. We want them to be happy and have lots of friends, but what if in that goal we are making it so that they turn into something that they really […]
Transformers: Robots in Disguise Season One
Transformers: Robots in Disguise Season One is on DVD! Who else is a huge fan of Transformers? I cannot tell you how many happy hours my son spent playing with Transformers when he was younger. Of course, that love of Transformers turned into a love of the Transformer series on television. Of course, now you […]
Bearing Witness – Stories of Martyrdom and Costly Discipleship
I love learning more about the Bible and the part that religion played in our history. Bearing Witness was a fascinating look into the lives of a number of different martyrs in the Christian religion. The book is part of the Bearing Witness Stories Project, a collaboration of Anabaptists from a wide range of traditions. […]
The Silent Sounds of Chaos
The Silent Sounds of Chaos was the perfect thriller to spend the weekend with. After a very busy Saturday, it decided to be cold and rainy on Sunday. I decided that a cup of coffee, a warm blanket, and a good thriller would be a perfect way to spend a rainy afternoon. I was right! […]
Chicken Soup for the Soul – The Joy of Less
I’ve been working toward simplifying my life for about a year. Week by week, I declutter a bit more. I pare down my schedule. I turn off more notifications on my phone. It hasn’t been an easy journey. I’m used to being very busy all of the time, but it’s a journey that I needed […]
Look at Us Now: A Creative Family Journal
Journaling is a wonderful way to relieve stress and become more mindful. It’s something that I have been exploring lately to become more centered and to really pay attention to what’s important in my life and what I’m spending my time doing. It’s so easy to lose track of what your goals are and fill […]
