Books I've Had My Head In Lately

Wow! Have I  had my head in a bunch of books lately!  God's Word tops the list and then we added a few more...

Read alouds have included:
... too many from Truthquest to list (though I will say I did not enjoy the Landmark book about Dolly Madison--that's a 1st!).  I'll also add a true gem we really loved--another Sower series book, "Francis Scott Key".  Awesome series!

"Mr. Pipes Comes to America" by Douglas Bond--really a fun book and a great way to learn about hymns and hymn writers.  This is part of a series.  Can't wait to get to the rest!

Lamplighters..."Shipwrecked, But Not Lost" & "The Giant Killer"  --both FABULOUS!!

For myself (and our family!)...
"The All New Square Foot Gardener", By Mel Bartholemew.  Never have I been so enthralled with a gardening book!  It has the potential for great changes to our lives.  If you don't know what I'm talking about, check it out from the library.

"Better Basics for the Home" by Annie Berthold-Bond--about home-made formulas for every cleaner and household product imaginable.  Pretty interesting.  Save big bucks. 

"Keeping Our Children's Hearts" by Steven & Teri Maxwell (Titus2.com)  This is, as to be expected, great wisdom taken from the Word of God.

For myself (for fun)...
"The Cottage at Bantry Bay" by Hilda VanStockum
"Eight Cousins" by Louisa May Alcott

All so good.  You gotta love books!

I'm delighted to see someone as excited about TruthQuest History as I am! The books are so outstanding, I feel like I am learning history along with my 10-yr-old daughter.

I recently bought Mel's "The All New Square Foot Gardener". It seems to be a great improvement over my traditional raised-garden beds. I am day-dreaming of warm, gardening days as the cold wind howls outside...

I really enjoy your blog-site, BTW! I came across it while searching ballet and Christian dance on the web because my daughter takes ballet. She also takes classical piano. Home-schooling is a wonderful way to explore our childrens' interests more deeply. Again, my compliments on a wonderful site!

About Me


In the beginning there was a tree.
The Tree of Life.
When sin entered the world,
we no longer had access to that tree.
We waited for another tree.
The Cross.
Jesus, as the perfect sacrifice for our sins once again gives us access to the
Tree of Life.
But we have to wait.
Wait for Heaven.
Until then, we are...
Living Life Between The Trees.
