Summer Reading List 2015



When I turned the page to mark the beginning of a new month in my planner I almost panicked when I realized it was July!  How can summer past by so fast?  

 I'm hoping to write a couple of posts in reference to my goals for the second part of summer.   Today's post includes my summer reading goals.  Here are the books I hope to finish by summer's end.  To see books I have already read this summer visit here.  

 The Blender Girl Smoothies by Tess Masters

A Charlotte Mason Companion by Karen Andreola

Women Living Well by Courtney Joseph

Love Idol by Jennifer Dukes Lee

Talent to Treasure by Marcia K. Washburn

The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up by Marie Kondo

Managers of Their Home by Steven & Teri Maxwell

What about you?  What are you reading this summer?  Have you read any of the books on my summer reading list?

    Charlotte Mason Companion (obviously lol), Love Idol and The Life-Changing Magic I all read within the past year or so--they were all great. I thought Love Idol got a little repetitive with its ideas as the book went on--but still worth reading, and The Life-Changing Magic did have a few new-agey type things toward the end (I just skipped through that--the rest of her advice was really solid). Looks like a fun list! I'm going to have to look up some of the other books you mentioned!

August Reads

None Like Him: 10 Ways God is Different From Us by Jen Wilkin :  I'm quickly becoming quite the fan of Mrs. Jen Wilkin.  I've been working through her 1 Peter Bible Study this summer and I absolutely loved reading through this book on the attributes of God.  I found myself reminded of so many things and almost felt a sense of relief as I contemplated what God is like.  This book was a delight to read.  I love that there is now a book on God's attributes written especially for women.  Pure awesomeness!  I highly recommend this book for both new believers and those with years of experience.  I also think it would make a great book club book. The Power of a Praying Wife by Stormie Omartian: This book is one that I have been wanting to read for years and I just never got around to it.  I am so glad that I finally took the time to read and pray through this book!  What better gift could I give my husband the past month than to spend time earnestly praying for him through a

Our First Tent Camping Experience

Earlier in June we embarked on a new adventure.  TENT CAMPING!   Two summers ago we enjoyed a wonderful time camping in a borrowed pop-up camper but this was our first experience sleeping in a tent as a family.  We loaded up our very full van and headed to Land Between the Lakes in Western Kentucky for a new adventure.  It was wonderful.   One of the neatest aspects of our trip was the fact that Nina & Poppy Steve (Brandon's parents) were able to meet up with us!  (They live a good 10 hours away from us so this was a real treat.)  We had so much spending time with them.  We stayed at  Hillman Ferry Campground  and I would definitely stay there again.   Hillman Ferry Campground has a lovely beach with an area roped off for swimming.  The kids enjoyed playing in the sand and I even took them swimming in the lake.  I have been swimming many times in a lake but I think this was my children's first real time swimming in a lake.  (The closest lake to us no longer
