message 1: by Dalynn (new)

Dalynn (dalynnrmc) Let's start with just saying hello!

I'm DaLynn, and if you're in this group there's a good chance you know me (or at least know someone who knows me), but I'll say a bit anyway. :P

Christian my whole life and married to Bill for 15 years, we homeschool our 5 kids ages 17, 13, 12, and 6yo twins - one of whom is my only girl. We live just outside of Waco, TX in a small country town.

I run a blog at holysplendor.com where I do homeschool reviews for the TOS Review Crew, and post about faith, family, and Christian Business. I sell Tupperware to supplement our household income, and in my spare time I do some reading and crafting. I plan to join a scrapbooking company in January that I'm super excited to start!

My favorite genres include non-fiction Christian and classics, and fantasy or mysteries are my guilty pleasure!

I'm Cassandra - a SAHM to 2. Married for 18 years to my high school sweetheart. We homeschool and I blog about our life at http://glimpseofnormal.blogspot.com/ I love to read and have really gotten into inspirational fiction in the last few years. I always have a long reading list and not near enough time.

Hi Cassandra! I recognize you, too. ;) Happy to have you here!

I don't read nearly enough fiction; I need to include more! Maybe you can recommend some for me. I've got a TBR miles long and no time for it, either. I figure it's a season of life thing....

Yes! Sometimes I have more time to read then others. As my kids have gotten a little older, I get more time, but sometimes get busy doing other things. I would love to make reading a priority to myself this year.

Teresa | 3 comments I'm Teresa an artist making animal sculptures out of wool from my flock of sheep, homeschool mom to 4 children (2 graduates) and shepherd to a flock of 65 sheep. I blog about needle felting, wool, sheep, farm life and homeschooling @ http://bearcreekfelting.com.
I listen to audio books while I felt and I read quite a few books aloud to my family.


message 8: by Jessica (new)

Jessica | 2 comments I am new to this group (and to this website). My name is Jessica I am a SAHM of an almost 2 year old with another one on the way (due March 2017!). I have been married to my amazing husband for 4 1/2 years. I am joining this group to get encouragement in my reading and for recommendations for books that encourage me in my walk with God and with my marriage and in parenting.


message 9: by Katheryn (new)

Katheryn (mrskcox2007) | 24 comments Hello lovely ladies. My name is Katheryn, although most of my friends call me Kat (but truthfully, you can call me anything, except "late for dinner" lol). My husband and I have just celebrated our 9th wedding anniversary and we have a 6 year old daughter.
I have been an avid reader as far back as I remember, and I will read just about anything I can get my hands on. This past year, I completed reading 54 books across the board. Some of my favorites were "Girl on the Train," "Gone Girl," "Jackaby," "The Lake House," "Passenger," "Parenting with Love and Logic," and many more. If I were to make a reading resolution for the coming year, it would be to be more intentional about reading (and actually finishing) non-fiction books.
When I am not reading, and I am probably homeschooling (first grade), crocheting or watching Doctor Who. And just to top off my nerdiness, just about every Saturday evening, you can find me sitting around our kitchen table, with a group of friends, playing a role playing game called Pathfinder (similar to Dungeons and Dragons).

Dalynn (dalynnrmc) Welcome to you all!

Katheryn - (I'm a Whovian, too! :P Though I don't play tabletop RPG's, I do play Lord of the Rings Online. You're in good company here. LOL)


message 11: by Tamara (new)

Tamara (peedeemama) | 10 comments Hi there! I'm TaMara, a stay-at-home, homeschooling, Christian mama to 5 - ages 9 to 16. I feel like I'm finally at a place in my life where I can do more reading for myself, instead of only reading books to and with my children. I blog about our life at Tales of a Pee Dee Mama.

My favorite books are non-fiction Christian, psychological thrillers, and light mysteries (you know, brain fluff books LOL).


message 12: by Dalynn (new)

Dalynn (dalynnrmc) Welcome, TaMara!


message 13: by mRose (new)

mRose (mrosebarnett) | 1 comments wow is this really a brand new group? I'm Rose and I am an avid reader these last few years of motherhood. I have also been able to get back to writing! Working on an ebook, blogging at rosebarnett.com and homeschooling also. Love seeing others homeschoolers here. My kids are: Gideon 8, Timothy 6 and Gwendolyn 2. It's possible I'm expecting ^^ but I don't know yet! My DH is super sweet and caring, great leader and we've been married 11 years now O_O that's crazy.

Nerdy? Yes! We're not "gamers" but we do love strategy board games, AOE and my DH does an occasional LAN party for random game they like. I'd rather play a fighting v-game but that's rare.

Becky Dan (rebekahdan) | 1 comments Hello ladies! My name is Rebekah Dan. I am the oldest in a family of seven girls, and a homeschool graduate (2008). I am a new registered nurse (2016). My mom continues to homeschool the youngest three in our family. By God's grace I am excited to say I just launched a new picture book for children this year! It is a true story about a Princess in France. I would love for you all to check it out and share with your friends on social media so that more people become aware of the story. The book is available as hardcover and KINDLE format on Amazon and also on Barnes&Noble website! Here is the 1 minute book trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hLIcV...
Thank you for reading and I look forward to any feedback you would have for me!
In Christ,
Rebekah

Gina Burgess (ginaburgess) | 1 comments Hello Y'all :)

I'm Gina Burgess. I am a grandmother extraordinaire to 4 grandchildren (9mos to 4 years old). I am an author and own two websites, one of which is eBookChristian.com where you can find specifically Christian/Faith/Family-Friendly books. I do book reviews on my blog http://uponreflectionblog.blogspot.com. I earned my Master's from Spring Arbor University in communication education.

I joined to ask you a few questions for a survey I am conducting. You might see this same question in other groups, too :)

Would you like books (Christian, Classics, and Family-Friendly) that have lesson plans embedded in the book? The books are designed to make learning a creative-thinking process, and the lesson plans use the internet and online resources as well.

If you would, what books would you like to see lesson plans in? How many lessons (5-day, 10-day?)

I so much appreciate any information you care to share!

Gina :)
