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...

A Thomas Jefferson Education "This Week in History" ~ Schoolhouse Review

By
Talk about a GOLD MINE! A Thomas Jefferson Education's This Week in History by Rachel DeMille is her "labor of love" ... and I absolutely LOVE it! " This Week in History is a daily resource that brings your home school or classroom to life." For just $9.99 per month, you can log onto TJEd.com and click the "This Week in History" link to obtain many, many, many resources tied to specific events that occurred in the upcoming week in history. Or even better, you can receive the summaries and links to ALL resources right in your email Inbox each week! It doesn't get any easier than that! What does this really look like in real life? Each week, I receive an email from Rachel DeMille that sets out each date of the coming week. Under the date, there are listed anywhere from one to several events that occurred in history on that date. THEN there are ALL kinds of things to do related to that event, such as books to read, websites to visit, ac...
