Happy September! It is time to share my August reads with you! We all know how much I love historical fiction, but I have been diving into the classics and memoirs lately and enjoying them just as much! Plus all the homeschooling books as I really push into this new season of my life! It may seem like all I blog about these days is books, and it is kind of true! Right now in this season, I spend a lot of time with my kids and I enjoy the rest that a good book gives me - much more satisfying than ... continue reading...

HomeSchool: The Preschool + Kindergarten Years
Ask Elizabeth: What's the homeschool curriculum you use? And did you use one for toddler / preschool age? Any tips for creating rhythms and discipleship moments for kids ages 2 - 6?

May Books
May was a great month for reading - it must have been a birthday gift to me! I enjoyed and devoured all these stories and books this month! Everything coming in a 4 or 5 stars! Wahoo! This month also marks a non-library month! All these books I had preordered or purchased at some point so they were all already sitting on my bookshelves. It is always encouraging to get more of these owned books checked off my reading list! For a Lifetime by Gabrielle Meyer 5 Stars: You know when you ... continue reading...
