A weird epiphany…
Well, maybe it’s not really an epiphany, but I don’t know what else to call it. It’s been a profound kind of weekend for both Bones AND I. Anyway, I’ve been reading two books this break. First, I’ve been reading Problogger‘s 31 Days to a Better Blog e-book. Concurrently, I’ve been reading a Mother’s Rule […] Read more…

More growing opportunities this week!

What’s On Your Nightstand? – Nov. 09
Well, I got to these books on my list from last month: Simple Acts of Moving Forward (Loyola Press) Letters to Darcy (Tyndale) Plain Promise (Thomas Nelson) I didn’t get to 2010: Grace-Filled Days (Loyola Press) because I decided that I should actually use it daily for a month to give a realistic opinion of […] Read more…
Book Review: Discipline That Lasts a Lifetime
When I was studying about childbirth and childrearing before my daughter was born, attachment parenting just seemed like the way to do it. I just couldn’t fathom having a routine for routines sake or letting a small baby “cry it out.” Where AP is NOT for me is the discipline. I feel like we expect […] Read more…
