Saturday Afternoon Chat: Walking weather, cozy days for reading, and a fairly routine week

A cup of peppermint tea with honey, a piece of chocolate with coconut flakes, a warm blanket, and a book are the tools I have been using today as I try to relax.

This concept struck me as I read about it because so often we read or … Continue reading Faithfully Thinking: Do what the person you want to be would do.

Book Review: Miracles on Maple Hill by Virginia Sorenson

The cover of Miracles on Maple Hill caught my attention at a used book sale so I grabbed it up to read with my 9-old daughter at some point.

Saturday Afternoon Chat: Stormy weather, my daughter’s stuffed animal beds, and missing photography

Today it is pouring outside. It is yucky, stinky, miserable weather. Inside it is warm and cozy, even though we have not lit a fire today.

Then we are planning to visit my parents later today … Continue reading Saturday Afternoon Chat: Stormy weather, my daughter’s stuffed animal beds, and missing photography
