H is for Healthy Summer Book Club

By

The past two summers I have "led" a book study on this blog. What I mean by "led" is that I read a book and posted my thoughts on it each week. I did have some commenters, and I really appreciated the participation and input!

Two summers ago I read and discussed The Book Whisperer by Donalyn Miller.



Last summer I read and discussed Last Child in the Woods by Richard Louv.



This summer I am shifting gears. I am planning to read and discuss Trim Healthy Mama by Serene Allison and Pearl Barrett. It is a "common sense guide to satisfy your cravings and energize your life"


If you would like to join me in the reading and discussion of the book this summer (starting the first week of June), then purchase the book and get ready!


I am linking up with Marcy at Ben and Me.

    Nicole I'd love to join in on this book study but this book is not available from my inter-library loan program, Do you know of any place that sells used copies of it? Amazon & Barnes & Noble have is listed for $35.00 (Ouch!)

      Yeah, it's not cheap. I bought mine from Amazon and it was $31.50. I couldn't find it anywhere cheaper. However, the book is about two-inches thick! At least with Amazon you could get free shipping. The shipping alone on that big ol' book would cost about $10.00, I think. Hope you can grab the book!!

      You can also purchase it in ebook form (pdf, kindle, nook, iPad, etc.) for $19.95. Here is the link to the Trim Healthy Mama site where it can be purchased.

A New Year, the Same Me

By
Happy 2019! It is that day of the year where everybody is up extra early starting their new exercise routine, eating only healthy foods, cracking open the pages of a new planner and Bible study, and debuting their Word for the year. You chuckle or roll your eyes, but you are doing at least three of these things. By the way, so am I. So let's start with the Word of the Year. Mine this year is Lagom. It's the Swedish word for "not too little, not too much, just right". It's a concept of being, doing or having just enough. So let's rewind to last New Year's Day. My Word was Might. And that's how I planned to tackle my year. And, I did. I worked out hard, I mommed hard, I traveled hard, I worked hard. And it was a good season. It prepared the way for this year. I accepted the Challenge I set for myself and succeeded. But, I don't need to keep up that pace. I am at a place in my life where I can kind of sit back and enjoy my life without f...

Science Sunday ~ Hmmm ... Let Me Think About It!

By
This week in our study of the Human Body , Brynne moved on to the Nervous System . Our first stop was a Pamela Hill Nettleton book called, Think, Think, Think: Learning About Your Brain . As part of our discussions about the brain , and the fact that it's the BOSS of the body, we discussed the importance of the spinal cord . We did a hands on spinal cord project by alternating gummy Life Savers and wagon wheel pasta on a pipe cleaner. We talked about why there was the "squishy" stuff in between the vertebra and how the back can bend and sway because of it. We completed "The Brynne" by adding the stomach, small intestine and large intestine, from our study last week of the Digestive System (although I just realized I have the large intestine coming out of the stomach, when the small intestine should be) and the brain and spinal cord. We are now done talking about the parts of the body and will conclude our study of the Human Body with a two-day unit ...
