My Epic, Doodletastic Bible Storybook by Bob Hartman
Rate this book
Clear rating
Not an in-depth storybook, but a super book for those who casually like to doodle--and I love that it shares the Bible with them while they do so! Gifting to my 8-year-old niece! Thanks for sending an ARC my way for review, Zondervan!

This book is great for introducing prayer to littles, but is especially great for parents and young ones new to faith who may be unfamiliar with the concept of prayer. Thanks for sending an ARC my way for review, Zondervan!

Her Story, Her Strength by Sarah Parker Rubio

This book is absolutely fantastic. I love that there is a resource to teach my tween daughter about strong, biblical women--those we can learn from and be inspired by. That it's broken down into individual lessons makes for easy lessons and reading. ...more

The Unexpected Light of Thomas Alva Edison by Raymond Arroyo

This is a beautiful story that introduces Thomas Edison to littles in an engaging way, but my favorite part that it's inspirational and encouraging for those who may see the world differently--it's wonderful to have your own ideas and pursue them! ...more

“Nine months ago, my mother died. This was the saddest, most painful time of my life, but somehow unexpected laughter managed to eke its way into the days and moments following her death...after determining she was, in fact, dead, my father, a very practical man, took the opportunity to finish up some laundry he has been working on”

Meredith Spidel, "You Have Lipstick on Your Teeth" and Other Things You'll Only Hear from Your Friends In The Powder Room

“Hey, Melissa-is there anything I should know about having this kid that isn't in the books I've been reading?"
Sunlight streamed through the window, making the golden, hormone-induced mutton chops glisten upon my cheeks. As I waited for her answer, I thumbed through the glossy parenting magazines on her kitchen table.
A candle flickered by the sink, adding sweetness to the spit-up scented air that was gutting punched in the face by a diaper change...”
Kim Bongiorno, "You Have Lipstick on Your Teeth" and Other Things You'll Only Hear from Your Friends In The Powder Room

“From the moment I was first pregnant, and those around me insisted that treats such as cold cuts and nail polish could cut my unborn child's potential IQ in half, I got into the habit of NOT seeking out the little things that brought me joy. Like soft cheese. And getting too close to a Starbucks.

Then my son came, and I was too busy crying while searching for his User Manual to consider a manicure or massage.

I lasted about a week as a new mom before reaching out to others in my situation online. As exhausted, cranky, and confused as I was, I needed friends.

It didn't take long for this gaggle of desperate, sleepless women to meet up in person...”

“The Waverley sisters hadn't been close as children, but they were as thick as thieves now, the way adult siblings often are, the moment they realize that family is actually a choice.”
