What I’m Reading {April 2018}
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.

I love Continue Reading
Slow, Simple, Surrendered
The Lord knew exactly what He was doing when He impressed the word Savor upon my heart at the beginning of this year. He saw the big picture. He knew what my heart was going to be longing for. We’ve been homeschooling for exactly one month and I can’t shake the feeling that He’s calling me to a slower, simpler, more surrendered life. Slow days of sight words in our pajamas. Simple school lessons that include monster trucks. Jackson thrives in calm, quiet spaces. He prefers to be with Continue Reading
