I've been a reading machine lately! Here's the books I finished this month! Sisters Like Us By Susan Mallery Sometimes I love Susan Mallery's books and sometimes I find them lacking. Her newest book, Sisters Like Us was a good read! It's part of the Mischief Bay Series and so far I've liked all the books in this series. Sisters Harper and Stacey couldn't be more different. Harper was made to be a mother, while her sister is in denial that she's about to become one. While Harper tries to Continue Reading
Two Devotions for Busy Mom’s
During this season of motherhood and homeschool, I rarely get a kid-free moment. Yesterday I found myself opening my Bible at the dining room table at 1:30 in the afternoon.

Trucks, Trains and Planes (and anything in-between)! Last week Jackson climbed in my bed at 6 a.m. with a jet! He started telling me all about it and how he loved vehicles. That short conversation inspired our entire day of learning. For Handwriting and Spelling I made flashcards with the names of many of his favorite vehicles. He Continue Reading
