Our Reading Table

I love books. I love the smell of them, the feel and could get lost in a bookstore for hours. Last year around this time I gave a book report and thought I'd let you know what I've been reading since then! Of course, the stack of books I'd love to get too is still growing and need for more always welcomed. Finding the time for reading quietly can be challenging with the balancing act of kids, marriage, life and ministry but I always try to get in some reading time daily... And now that I've entered the stage of life where prescription readers are a real deal I may as well look cute too while flipping the pages.
What are you reading these days? I'm always open for suggestions!

Arise, Beloved
by C.C. Evans Puglise

Arise, Beloved was a simple read with a punch of boldness, encouragement and words of motivation. I parked on chapter 7 for awhile as it really hit home for me. A great quick read!


Girl, Wash Your Face
by Rachel Hollis

Well, I went with the trend and bought my own copy of this and glad I did. It's already been passed on in hopes it motivates and inspires others as it did me. I found it a timely read that confirmed many things God had been doing in my life. An easy read, not too heavy, but deep enough to make you take a good look at your own life.

Sold On a Monday
by Kristina McMorris

Sadly, this is the only non self-help book I've read this past year. But, it was a good one for sure! I had been eyeing it at the local bookstore for awhile and when walking downtown on my own, I finally caved and purchased it. Based on true events, this books takes you back to hard times when you would do anything to better your children's lives.

Jesus Every Day
by Mary DeMuth

Triple Threat

Our little Bumblebee turned three. 
Baylee has fully embraced the idea of attitudes, tempers and being the baby of the family. 
 Regardless of the little Irish spice, Baylee is loved and adored by all of us. 
Her smarts continue to grow and mouth never stops moving until she falls asleep at night. The conversation flows throughout the day and if you don't respond, Baylee will give you the words to say back to her. "Say Ahhh...say WOW...say that's not right!"
She still loves her animals, fruit snacks, baby dolls and TV favorites Little Einstein, Cleo & Cuquin and PJ Masks. 
Papa and Addison are the favorite family members but everyone is usually welcomed, hugged and invited into Miss Bee's conversation. 
Birthday parties were low key this year as what three year old really remembers the cake, candles and gifts? Doesn't mean we didn't celebrate and wish the happiest of birthdays to our BumbleBee.
Happy Birthday sweet Bee...let's work on keeping the terrible three threat to a minimum!

{ Always right by our sides. }

{ Keep smiling lil' BumbleBee! }
