A working mom trying to do it all ....and succeeding!
My daughter wanted to take some pictures. I love that she is into photography at 6 years old! She rearranged the colors in her crayon box, set them up and took the pictures with no help from me.
Okay I did crop the pictures….they were taken by my sliding glass doors, which needed cleaning. 🙂
Thankful, Book Two in the Return to Sugarcreek series was a nice and easy read. I love these books. No super thinking – just like watching a movie in my head. I’ve been reading Amish books for a couple years now and I still love them! Shelley Shepard Gray is a great writer and the reader always fells like they are right there in the story. I did not read the first book in this series but there is no need to. Each book tells it’s own story. Thankful actually has three stories in one. I liked how the author goes back and forth between the three stories.
Christina Kempf has always known that God chose Aden Reese to be her husband. As children, he was there to save her when she fell through the ice, and he’s been by her side ever since. After his parents died in a car accident ten years ago, the Kempfs raised Aden as one of their own, and everyone sees Aden and Christina as brother and sister. But Christina has never given up hope that Aden will one day ask her to be his wife.
Aden always planned to court Christina. But losing his mother and father changed everything—except his love for her. Her parents generously welcomed him into their home and treated him like a son. He can’t betray their kindness by admitting his feelings for the girl who is like a sister . . . yet so much more.
Pressured by her parents to court, Christina begins to accept the attentions of Sugarcreek’s young men, and now, Aden must make a choice. Will he stand by and watch the love of his life slip away? Or will he risk losing the love and trust of the family he holds dear to tell Christina how he truly feels?

It’s that time of year when everyone is cleaning out their stuff and have yard sales. I use to go out quite often, now I look forward to sleeping in!!
Here are some tips to make your’ morning go smoother.
If your shopping for kids clothes and find someone who’s child is a little older than yours, ask the owner if you can get first dibs on clothes before the next sale. I’ve done this before and it’s a great idea! I asked the owner if she would call me before the next sale and she took my name and email.
And last but not least – Don’t get discouraged if you don’t find a lot of good deals. There’s always next week.
