Thanksgiving Reads

These are a few of the book we have been reading this week! The kids have really enjoyed each one and love doing the crafts to go with them. As soon as we are done, I will post more of what they have been working on!

Turkeys

We are having so much fun learning about Thanksgiving and making fun crafts! I usually don't post about crafts, but lately Emma and Aidan have been really excited and proud of their work.

Yesterday we read A Plump and Perky Turkey and made our own paper plate turkeys afterwards (another idea from No Time For Flashcards). The kids (and mom I must say) loved gluing the tissue paper feathers and requested the book to be read several times throughout the day! FUN!

Crafty

The kids and I did a fun, super easy fall craft yesterday. I got the cute idea from No Time For Flashcards.

We read

I stenciled leaves on some construction paper, then had the kids decorate them with fall colors. We cut them out and then wrote on the back what we are thankful for. Now, they decorate our dinner table!

Great Reads!

These are 2 books that I have just read over the past few weeks. I would highly recommend both!

What the Bible Says About Healthy Living

By Rex Russell

The Yada Yada Prayer Group

By Neta Jackson

Highly Reccomended Reading!

My good friend Catherine and I talked about reading a book together that we could discuss during our many phone conversations (she lives in Virginia.) Given that I only have about 7 other books/studies I am currently involved in, I thought it sounded like a GREAT idea! I do have to say, I am SO GLAD we decided on this one! I truly believe this book is for every woman out there who is thriving to make Christ the center of their home. Some of it is hard to read, as the authors point out changes that most of us might not want to make of ourselves. However, the rewards are well worth it. The Word of God is applied beautifully all throughout the book and it encourages you to truly be passionate, through God, about what you do in your home and with your family. WHAT A GREAT BOOK!
