Linky Love





It's been a long time since the last version of Linky Love was put out...near Thanksgiving I believe! It's time again for some great finds from the web, and if you care to join me in passing around your latest and greatest leave them for me in the links!
  • I loved this post on living without credit cards. We've been credit card free for..hmm...3 years now? We haven't missed it one bit.
  • I'm thinking of Christmas presents for next year (sick, I know) and these designs and ideas have been inspiring.
  • I found this 'real life fast forward' start to finish painting video SO neat. Was thinking of letting my children watch it, too.
  • Still going on your new years' resolution to eat healthier? This simple overview helps break it down.
  • With our kids getting older and being invited to more birthday parties, I loved this idea of having the child make this simple and fun present.
  • My girl Ani D is back. Ordering soon!
  • Yes I totally did ask for this for my birthday. I'm hopeful. :)
  • Um, cute, as ever.
  • Stefan has been researching wood burning stoves lately. Just think, I could have one of these beauties heating up our (future, far away, not-bought-yet-house) cozy living room some day.
  • Speaking of Stefan, he also said he'd make me this...and I'm not letting him forget it!
  • If you're local: two great new treateries: GUP Kitchen (specializes in local foods, and it's a food truck!) and Le Cupcake (gluten free gourmet cupcakes people!!)
  • Loved this titled, "Don't Carpe Diem". Amen. Amen!

Home School Activities: Board Games We Love

My children have recently become enthralled in the world of board games. I was never a board game player. Sure, I remember long summer hours (days? it seemed like it..) spent around a Monopoly board, but I was never one to suggest to get out the cards, or a game. As my children have grown and they are now able to do activities with me, I started noticing that they really took to puzzles (when done all together) and the one or two board games I happened to have kept in the storage room. They were always asking to play Candy Land and so I figured I should branch off a bit. Over the course of the last year, I have found GREAT games, even ones that I love to play alongside them. The amount of 'teaching' they have gotten through games is jaw-dropping. Counting, team-playing, math related patterning, are just some of the skills I've watched develop. I asked before Christmas on facebook what my friends and their own kids loved and I was thrilled with the response. We have found ov

July Reads

Birch Bay Sunset, rainbow hues July has been hot out here. When you live in the top story of an apartment building, and there's no air conditioning, it can feel just over the needle of uncomfortably warm when the day is above 76 degrees. We've kept blinds shut, windows open, and a fan continually blowing as it's perched in our living room window well. Just about the only thing I feel like doing after a long day is laying on the couch straight in the fan's air circulation path, and read a good book. I had some unique picks this month. * #GIRLBOSS by Sophia Amoruso  This book was just plain fun to read. Amoruso developed the iconic ebay store NastyGal way back when vintage selling on ebay was a thing. Now she's a millionaire with a kicking website that she started from scratch and didn't owe a dime to anyone else for. It's a great 200 pager with stories on dumpster diving for daily food, entrepreneurship tips, and being the backwards kid that no one t

Top 10 Books of 2017

early sunset in Ft Langley  I love reading all these "Top 10" lists of favorite books read throughout the year, so I'm adding my two cents.  I'm involved in a Book Club that I love with women from our church, a small group that meets every week and goes through a book every few months, my own list, books I'm reading aloud to the kids and  books I'm reading for educational purposes (think professional development). I took a look at all of those combined and this is what I got, in no particular order:  *  The Problem of God  by Mark Clark - I loved going through this academic apologetic book with my friends from church. It led us to great discussion, and good food for thought. I listen to Clark's sermons every week and so knew I'd probably love his writing style, too. If you have objections to Christianity, or are feeling confused about what to believe, this is a great primer.  * You're Smarter Than You Think  by Dr. Thomas Armstron
