I keep hearing great things about A Place to Hang the Moon and am excited to read it myself. It's historical fiction set during World War II and follows three orphans who evacuate London after the death of their grandmother. If you've already read it what did you think?
Happy Friday, friends! I hope you've had a good week. For fun, let's do a little game of autofill. "This spring, I'm looking forward to..."
I wanted to get a nice Easter photo and write something meaningful about the day. Instead, all I got was a silly photo of half of us in the car, and I'm not sure I've figured out what I wanted to say. This morning as I sat outside on my porch with a cup of coffee and my Bible, I randomly flipped to a passage. It was the chapter in Ezekiel about God bringing the valley of dry bones back to life. I looked at my trees that are starting to turn green after a long winter. I thought about the beauty of spring and the picture of new life and how it coincides with Easter and the celebration of life over death. Later we went to Easter service and I was surprised when the message was also from Ezekiel on the valley of dry bones. Bones coming to life again might sound creepy. But it's a picture of things that have lost their vitality and strength being renewed. It's a hopeful story that points to what we celebrate today. Restoration and new life. Happy Easter 💗
Does your family have any favorite audiobooks or readalouds? We love listening to audiobooks on the road or picking up a fun story to read together at home. My kids have loved the adventure as well as the bond between the young rabbits, Heather and Pickett, in The Green Ember by @sdsmithereens
The weather is absolutely gorgeous today. If Texas could stay like this all year long I'd be perfectly happy. My youngest is getting pretty fast on his bike and has rigged up a little A/C between his handlebars (it was the blower from his T-rex halloween costume). Here's hoping the day is pretty wherever you are and that you get some time outside to enjoy it. #wildandfree #explore #homeschoollife #naturegram #wildandfreekids #naturelover #1000hoursoutside #homeschool
