By simplify, on December 27th, 2011% I became a fan of Tsh Oxenreider of Simple Mom when I read her first book Organized Simplicity. And she has done it again with One Bite at a Time – 52 Projects for Making Life Simpler.
I am all about simplifying and I love to read other’s work on the subject. In fact, I devoured Tsh’s book in just one sitting!
Although these projects are designed to be spread out over time, I have several that really resonated with me that I will be working on in the next few months:

By simplify, on December 19th, 2011% I was recently introduced to Amish fiction author Cindy Woodsmall when I read her book The Christmas Singing.
I love Amish fiction and Cindy is a phenomenal writer. The latest trilogy of books for the Ada’s House series are fun, upbeat, and full of wonderful characters.
Since I like to read things in order, and I had read some previous reviews of The Harvest of Grace, which is book 3 in the series, saying that it was better to read them in order, I did just that.
First comes The Hope of Refuge, followed by The Bridge of Peace and . . . → Read More: Book Review – The Harvest of Grace

By simplify, on December 6th, 2011% I love reading Amish fiction and I am a huge fan of popular Amish fiction authors like Beverly Lewis and Wanda Brunstetter.
So, when I was given the opportunity to read The Christmas Singing by Cindy Woodsmall, I jumped at the opportunity…and was not disappointed.
If you love Amish fiction, you will love The Christmas Singing! I was hooked from the very first chapter and finished the book in less than a day because I couldn’t put it down!

By simplify, on November 29th, 2011% As I am currently in the midst of one of the biggest trials in my adult life, when I saw As Silver Refined: Answers to Life’s Disappointments by Kay Arthur, I really felt that God was leading me to read this book. And I was right.
I have never read any of Kay’s other works (which are many), but I will be reading her work in the future. Not only does Kay do a marvelous job of storytelling and sharing things from her own personal trials, but she backs it all up with solid scripture.
I was so encouraged when . . . → Read More: Book Review – As Silver Refined

I’ve always wanted to sponsor a child and make a difference in someone’s life. So, on Mother’s Day 2010, I started my Compassion International journey when I sponsored Christine.
Christine is 12 years old now and lives in Kenya. She is a joy, and I love receiving letters and drawings from her. She is quite the talented artist. Christine does well in school and I enjoy reading about her progress.
Then came Travis. In March of 2011, I was thinking of sponsoring another child and was looking through the photos on the Compassion web site and Travis just jumped . . . → Read More: Meet My Children
