In the midst of motherhood during that afternoon hour to myself or after the kids have been tucked into beds, I find myself wandering the web and being encouraged, inspired and equipped.
Here is a snippet of what I’ve been reading:
I’m inspired by all these Quiet Book Ideas!
Ticia from Adventures in Mommydom is doing a fun series right now on the ABC’s of Hands-on History. Tons of helpful links.
I loved Leigh Ann’s thoughts on When Your Quiet Time’s Aren’t Quiet. Wonderful ideas to meet with God no matter what your micro-season in life. And motherhood is full of lots of micro-seasons, isn’t it?
Kris from Always Alleluia shared beautiful thoughts on holding onto God-sized dreams. It was beautiful to read about her journey this last year and I found myself encouraged to place my God-sized dreams in His hands and follow along where He leads…
Love DayebyDaye’s thoughts on training our children and ourselves to view our reaction and attitudes as opportunities.
What have you been reading lately – online, books, with the kids?
Amanda says
Are all your kids understanding this book? I have thought about trying to start it..not sure ifM is too little to get it
Heather says
Treyton didn’t grasp as much as the other boys, but he still loved it and would bring the book to me asking the the next chapter. My brother-in-law recently read it to his kids and they both loved it as well. They are 5 and 3.

I’m actually reading the series for the very first time ever with my children. We started the series last September and literally started the last book this week.
So far our favorites were the Magician’s Nephew; Lion, Witch, and Wardrobe; and the Dawn Treader. We’re all a bit sad to know we’re coming to the end.

Aw, Heather! I was enjoying your post and ready to check out links and then I saw mine. Humbled! Thank you so very much.
We have read through the whole Chronicles of Narnia with the kids and I can relate- I was so excited when they were old enough to start. They were my favorites as a kid and I still read them every few years.
Such a privilege to teach our kids, isn’t it?!!

Yes, it IS such a beautiful privilige!!!
And thank you for blessing me with your timely words!
