See that picture to the left? Those are the books that are currently sitting on my desk waiting to be read and reviewed. (These are in addition to my own “to be read” pile.) Isn’t that exciting? I am thrilled to be reviewing books. I love to read, and book reviews are a wonderful way to find an excuse to read. I’m also getting the opportunity to read books that I wouldn’t have necessarily read or known about on my own. I’m not the only one that is excited about these new book reviews.

Pumpkin Carving
Posted in Holidays, and Homemaking
Here are our pumpkin carvings for this year. As has become our usual, I went with a military theme and Munchkin went with an animal theme. Munchkin is so proud of the fact that she can do a whole pumpkin on her own now. She’s eagerly looking forward to the roasted pumpkin seeds that we’ll be having thanks to these carvings.
