As a parent, I’m sure you realize the importance of what your child reads. As a child, my mother was very careful about our reading material. While I didn’t appreciate it at the time, I am thankful now. What a child, reads and perceives is vital to the molding and forming of his character. A wise parent will censor their child’s reading material, but sometimes it’s hard. A distant cousin of mine, a young lady with a similar upbringing as […]

Kids are sponges, soaking up every bit of information you feed them. How do you inspire an early love of learning so they continue to be sponges and continue to soak in information? While a bit challenging, I have always considered the toddler stage my favorite. They are learning something new everyday.

They went a long ways towards shaping me into the woman I now am.I As a young adult, I had far more freedom in choosing the books I read, and sad to say I didn’t […]

After my posts on Good Girl Books and Good Boy Books, I had a couple requests for Good Teen Books. I have to admit, getting together a list of good teen books wasn’t easy.

Recently I have been putting together a list of books that inspire virtue in girls. Now I may not have daughters of my own yet, but I feel highly qualified to put together this list. 🙂 As a homeschool mom, my mother realized that books would be the best way to teach us. She saved each year so that when the homeschool convention came to town she could take advantage of the book sales and buy new reading material. One […]

Have you have you ever realized that you can forgive others easily, but you had to learn to forgive yourself? One of the things that I love about blogging, is how many wonderful and talented Christian women I have met. One of those women would be Leslie from Be Simply Better. A couple of weeks ago, she made the exciting announcement that her 3rd book was finished and she would be launching it soon. She asked if there were any […]

Some time last year I had the privilege of “meeting” a wonderful author (Paula) and reviewing her book Casa de Naomi. You can read that review here.

If you know me at all, you may know that I was home-schooled. Maybe you even remember this post. 🙂 What you may not know, is how I learned history. I wasn’t given a textbook with dry boring content. In fact I don’t think we had a history text book in the house. What I was given were books. Lots and lots and lots of books. And I loved love to read! What were the books about? Well, interestingly enough, […]

A little known fact about me, is that I love old things. Really old things, not just second hand things like what most of my house is. I’m talking at least a 100 years or more. Old books also happen to be something I enjoy. Oh, who I am kidding? I just love books! Having (hopefully) made clear my love of old things. I have something rather exciting to share with you! Megan, From Shaping up to be a Mom, […]
