Not much right now. We’re still in the process of moving…yes, it’s still happening. But we’re getting closer to the end! Maybe even this weekend. We should find out tomorrow the official word whether we’ve been accepted to the apartment complex we want or not. We’re hoping and praying yes! Onto books… This month I [...]

Maybe it’s because I’m eating right now, but these books look really good: It makes me want to bake. Yum.

Sunday afternoon, while we were still in Louisville, we headed out to Locust Grove to the Jane Austen Festival. We felt like newbies and tourists all mixed together not knowing why people kept asking questions about the family that lived there. Apparently, it wasn’t just some old home that was perserved, but happened to belong [...]

Since we’re spending the summer visiting my parents as we’re transitioning to Louisville, I didn’t bring too many books for my son. Trying to pack light, you know. But my mom dug up some old board books that were my brother’s and we’ve been reading those. Come to think of it these books are about [...]

You don’t really have to guess…but we’re in Louisville this weekend looking for an apartment. Which we found on our first day! Yeah! It’s close to campus with lots of other seminary students and families. God is good! Finding our new home early gives us more time to explore the city…and you know what’s going [...]

Tomorrow morning, our little family is headed up to Lexington, Virginia for a wedding. It’s not a long road trip, but I’m bringing along some books for the ride. Two to finish, one to start, and one to (hopefully) plow through some meaty parts…oh, and my Bible (that’d be the second one…it’s been “collaged.”)

I can’t believe we’ve already been gone for two weeks! I didn’t expect our time to pass so quickly. We still have the rest of July before we get to Louisville, but time sure is flying by! Here’s some book related links I enjoyed this week and wanted to pass on: The 50 Books of [...]

Stephanie is hosting the Everything Austen Challenge on her blog Stephanie’s Written Word, go check it out! It’s no secret that I love Jane Austen.

On Reading Julie & Julia

I picked up Julie and Julia: My Year of Cooking Dangerously as a summer read and I find myself struggling to get through it. I thought I would enjoy it so much that I’d be finished before I knew it, but now I find myself ignoring it–even a little annoyed to pick it up. In [...]
