Welcome to my July 2019 book recommendations list! Below are 15 book recommendations from my to-be-read list for the upcoming month. I try to sort them into basic categories, but some books may be suitable for multiple groups. I hope you check a few out and let me know what you think. You can look for blog post reviews of many of them in the upcoming weeks after I finish reading them and write my reviews for Amazon and Goodreads. […]
The January 2019 Newsletter Highlights are here! One of my 2019 ideas for the website & email list is to publish some highlights from the month. This post gives you a way to search for the books, recipes, crafts, and more you read about the past month.

All the newsletter books and many more are now searchable on the website through these reading list posts. The recipes, patterns, and crafts are not available at this time except in […]

I have a To Be Read (TBR) list but for this monthly post these are books I have read (occasionally books read by my family). What do you call your list... Book List or Reading List? Maybe I am just over-thinking it. Regardless of what I call it, let's move on to the books. That's […]
I love a good book with the potential for learning as well as entertaining. I recommend 10 picture books every adult should read by Chelsea Pennington of Penn & Paper. It serves that purpose quite well. Please take a look at the post & maybe give a book or two a try. I love Prudence the Part-time Cow. You will probably find several of these in my future reading lists. "Even when you're "grown up," you still have a lot to […]
Reading with my grandchildren has far surpassed the joy I received from reading with my children. I did not expect this. Perhaps it's because as grandparents we appreciate life so much more now or maybe it's simply because we are not quite as rushed as we once were. Where before one part of the mind was always on household chores, meal planning, and schedules, now it's possible to simply enjoy the pleasure of a child curled up on your lap […]
