Welcome, Company Girls and other readers. (Don't know what a Company Girl is? You can read more about it here.) Today I am serving coffee, tea and one of my new favorite hot beverages - Russian (sometimes known as, Friendship) Tea. Have a seat and a visit.
We are doing quite a bit of reading in our house these days, including listening to Robert Munsch books on CD. We've been borrowing a lot of "kits" from the library - book and CD. I "caught" CJ reading a Hansel and Gretel book. She (CJ) always seems to have a book close by, no matter what she's doing. Little W is loving one about dragons that has some flip up portions to it.
Here's what I've been actively reading:
- new day, new you by Joyce Meyer - This is a daily devotional. There is a short page to read each day. I like it. I'd misplaced it for almost a month and went on a hunt for it today. I have it back in my possession.
- the Quilter's daughter by Wanda E. Brunstetter - I needed a novel one day and came home from a friend's with two - this one and another that I haven't started yet by Lori Wick. I am really enjoying living "through" this family; I always imagined myself living as the Amish (or groups similar) do. I think they live a very simple and fascinating life.
- One Year to an Organized Financial Life by Regina Leeds - I received this book as a review opportunity and am eating up the information provided. A lot of what I am learning (US information) is very applicable to my life here in Canada. I am simply leaving out the specifics and applying the principles to our life and laws.
- Fascinating Womanhood by Helen Andelin - I am just a few pages into this book. I purchased a copy after reading this .pdf (free to download online). The .pdf file is a series of booklets originally printed in the 1920s for single women. Someone has compiled them; the author's name has been lost over the years. Helen Andelin based her book on this series. I look forward to reading more of this book.
I hope you have a great weekend! I am going to a wedding on Saturday and hoping to spend some time fixing some maternity shirts. By fixing I mean modifying to fit me better. I am getting a nice collection of items to wear! Now mostly, I'm lacking in nice, comfortable footwear. Gonna have to go shopping! (Secondhand stores are great.)
Striving to learn and live God's purposes,

I love books. I keep them by my bed, in my kitchen, in the bookshelf in my living room, in my bathroom... (sometimes I just go in there to read, because there's a lock on the door!) I sneak in my reading time wherever possible. :)
Joyce Meyer is one of my favorites. She's coming here in May and I'm planning to go with friends.
Good luck finding the right footwear...my favorite during pregnancy was always a comfy pair of Sketchers. I still wear them! (The sandals have lasted forever.)
Have a great weekend!

My son loved Robert Munsh books. There are so humorous. A perfect fit for a boy that wasn't a huge fan of reading to begin with. Our favorite was "Smelly Socks".
I love the Fascinating Womanhood file. I will have to save up and buy the book now. lol
My kids used to listen to Robert Munsch in the van as I drove them here and there...they loved listening to the stories over and over. I must admit that I had my favourites too!
I love reading too, but feel like I never have time for it anymore (and I only have 2 children of which one is in school). My bathroom is my sanctuary for reading because, like Melissa said, it has a lock on the door.
I have a ton of books too, but I try to read just one at a time. i've put the Quilter's Daughter on my reding list - it sounds interesting! I read Fascinating Womahood about 4 years ago and I think I am going to reread it soon. I'd love to know what you think of it.
