Beautiful Word Bible

I received a review copy of this Bible from the publisher. This post contains affiliate links. Munchkin started attending a new youth group this past fall. One of her fellow college students recommended it to her, so we tried out the church (and youth group). It was a good fit for her, and the sermons were Biblical. We found ourselves with a new church home that was a better fit for our girl. There was one slight issue though – the youth pastor was using a different translation of the Bible for his teaching. If you’ve ever tried to follow…

The Lifegiving Home

Posted in Family, and Reviews

I received a review copy of this book from Tyndale House Publishers. This post may contain affiliate links. My injury, D’s surgery, Munchkin starting college, and D continuing with his college work makes for a pretty crazy environment around here. Our regular routine was thrown out the window as we tried to find a new normal. It really highlighted the importance of creating a safe haven at home. We needed one place that we could relax and breath – a place where we could be ourselves and find comfort. During this season, some things around the home have been pushed…

I received a review copy of this book from the publisher. We’ve recently entered a new season in our lives where homeschooling is behind us. We now have 2 family members in college – Daddy and daughter. I’m starting to look at some non-traditional ways that I can bring in some extra money to help with not only the college expenses but also to pay down our mortgage faster. Money Making Mom takes a good look at the variety of ways a mom can make income whether it be from a traditional job or non-traditional job, inside or outside the…

ESV Journaling Bible Review & Giveaway

Posted in Reviews

Many thanks to Propeller Consulting, LLC for providing a review copy of this ESV Journaling Bible. When I was really little, I remember being told to never write in a book or Bible. As I got older, I was encouraged to underline or highlight verses that stood out to me as I was reading scripture. By junior high and high school, it was okay to make some notes in the Bible. There was still some controversy over whether you should take notes directly in the Bible or to write in a notebook or on a bookmark. I did a little…

Modern Homesteading by Wranglerstar

Posted in Reviews

I received a review copy of this book in exchange for honest feedback. I have been following Wranglerstar on youtube for a few years now, so I was pretty excited to see they had decided to put together a book about their homesteading journey thus far. I enjoy the fact that the Wranglerstar family is so genuine about their journey. They share the good, the bad, and the downright ugly that can come with the homesteading lifestyle. They don’t try to be all perfect and polished. They don’t shy away from sharing hardships, poor decisions, or accidents. They are real.…
