Community (and the Improvement of my Mind by Extensive Reading)
This week I blew through the Mother-Daughter Book Club series by Heather Vogel Frederick. You may not have a thing for YA lit, but seriously, they were so cute. And I actually learned new things as well! Which was beyond fun for me. The Man mocked me endlessly for reading books about people reading books…
The Beatles, the Bible, and Discharging Bowels

What's New
One of the more challenging things about being a stay at home mom is knowing how to answer the question: what's new with you?
For the Mamas of Wee Little Babes
Sunday night I received a text from a friend asking for devotional suggestions for "mamas of wee little babes". Now, normally I would've objected strongly to her use of the word "babes", but in this case, I felt that "wee" justified it.
Not Just When the Bee Stings
It's been a fun day (there were naps!), and I would like to acknowledge that by sharing a few of my favorite things.
Memoir Titles Etc.
Just some blurbs while I wait for the laundry to finish so I can get my running clothes out and go to bed…
