I chose Surprised By Oxford from Thomas Nelson’s Book Sneeze program. I read a review and it sounded good, so I thought I’d give it a chance. Then it arrived and sat on my shelf. I wondered, “WHY did I choose that book?” The way Book Sneeze works is that I can’t pick a new [...]

I received a free copy of Encouragement for Homeschool Moms in exchange for a review. Let me tell you I NEEDED this devotional. Last year was rough for us–really rough! My sweet little boy is a go getter and what they called “strong willed”. Then on top of it Dad came home–after a 6 year [...]

Pig Pile is a fun game from R&R Games for 3-6 players ages 7 and up. It’s a fast paced family game where players compete to corral the most pigs. I love the bright colored cards and the pigs are definitely cute. This game is well made and colorful. The game includes *80 cards *40 [...]

I received a free copy of this book from LitFuse Publicity to review on my blog. It’s not the typical type of book I pick up, but I’m finding it interesting. I don’t know much about the conflict in Zimbabwe but I’m finding this book draws me in. It’s well written and I find myself [...]

I received a free copy of this book from LitFuse Publicity to review. It’s a lighthearted easy devotional read. Perfect for a little uplift or encouragement. I wouldn’t use this as my Bible study–it’s not really my type for study. But I do think it’s a good fit for days you just need a pick [...]

I received a free copy of this book from BookSneeze (free books for bloggers). James and I studied the Civil War all year last year and we briefly mentioned George Washington Carver. He’s not really part of the Civil War story, but he was born a slave and became a great man so he [...]

You will be seeing a few more reviews around here. I’m still reviewing some books with Litfuse Publicity and I was accepted as one of The Old Schoolhouse Review Crew members. I also was accepted as a blogger to a Woman of Faith conference this fall. So, just a heads up. I’ll still be regular [...]
