Surprised By Oxford~Book Review

Sunday, October 16th, 2011

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 [...]

Christian Authors

Wednesday, September 28th, 2011

My friend asked me what Christian fiction authors I like. I’ve been meaning to get her a list and just haven’t done it yet. I’m going to list some of mine. If one you like isn’t on here feel free to add them in the comments. Some I may just not personally care for or [...]

AIMS~Electrical Connections TOS Crew Review

Thursday, September 22nd, 2011

As a reviewer for the TOS Crew, I received a free copy of this book to review. James really enjoys science and it’s one of my weaker areas, so I really like to look at a broad range of curriculum and idea books to help me out. AIMS Education Foundation is a non-profit foundation offering [...]

A Lancaster County Christmas~Suzanne Woods Fisher~Book Review

Tuesday, September 20th, 2011

The first vacation Lee and I took was to Lancaster county. I love everything Amish and so he treated me to a trip there. We even rode in an Amish buggy! I read some of the Amish fiction that comes out and so I said I’d be happy to review this book for Litfuse Publicity–I [...]

Deeper Roots Encouragement For Homeschool Moms~TOS Crew Review

Friday, September 16th, 2011

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 R&R Games~TOS Crew Review

Wednesday, August 31st, 2011

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 [...]

Mugabe and the White African~Book Review

Wednesday, August 24th, 2011

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 [...]

Too Blessed To Be Stressed~ Book Review

Friday, August 19th, 2011

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 [...]

George Washington Carver~Book Sneeze Review

Friday, August 5th, 2011

  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 [...]

A Few More Reviews….

Tuesday, July 26th, 2011

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 [...]
