A few of my favorites!

Oh, how I love to read!



When I was young, I read and re-read all of the Little House books. Now I've read them to my daughter and love to share that world with her!



We read A LOT in our homeschooling. Here are some of my favorites from the last year that we've read together:



The 21 Balloons


Encyclopedia Brown books and Socks by Beverly Cleary


Any Hank the Cowdog book! I laugh so much reading these out loud!


Star of Light by Patricia St. John


Stepping Heavenward is one of my all-time favorites which I can't wait to read with Olivia when she is a few years older. I like to re-read it every couple of years. Such an encouragement to my heart.



I primarily read non-fiction. When I do read fiction, I really enjoy the Mitford books, All Creatures Great & Small series, and Pride & Prejudice, Sense & Sensibility, and Persuasion by Jane Austen. And at Christmas time, I may or may not read those ridiculously predictable Christian Christmas romance books...



These are some of the non-fiction books that rotate on my nightstand:


Instructing a Child's Heart by Tedd Tripp ~ this book is invaluable to us as we strive to raise our daughter with love and discipline.


Any book by Elisabeth Elliot. I read Passion & Purity in college, and have read and re-read all of her books continuously.


Having a Mary Heart in Martha World by Joanna Weaver

Lies Women Believe, and the Truth that Sets them Free by Nancy Leigh DeMoss

Becoming the Woman of His Dreams by Sharon Jaynes
