Listening, Watching, Reading

LISTENING

🎧It's Not Supposed to be this Way... I love this Lysa TerKeurst audio book so far even though it doesn't really apply to my current life situation.

🎧Current most-listened to podcasts: Bookend Homeschoolers // Christian Historical Fiction Talk // The Crystal Paine Show // Happier with Gretchen Rubin

WATCHING

📺Survivor... Ryan and I have just discovered this year that we love competition-style shows. He does like the competition element but both of us love the exploration of human emotion and personality. So much enneagram talk, my word. Season 2- we think Colby is a 3, Jerri is a sx 6, Mike is a 2, Alicia is an 8, Nick is a sp 9.

📺Seventh Heaven... This is on deck. I liked this show as a kid, though I've probably only seen ten full episodes if that, and was excited when I looked it up recently and read that this is "a mostly wholesome show about a minister and his wife trying to raise moral children in an increasingly permissible world," and that the show was "designed to tackle edgy issues in a way that allows parents and children to watch an episode together and have a deep conversation about what they think is the right choice and what they would do." I'm very much interested!

READING

📚The Alliance... This is an apocalyptic EMP story set inside an Amish community in Montana. I am so hooked that I used my Tyndale Reader Rewards* points on the sequel!

📚Awaking Wonder... I read through this review book super quickly last year but now I'm re-reading it more slowly, savoring Sally Clarkson's words on homeschool and motherhood.

📚Glimpsing Heaven... I just started this one yesterday! This is a secular book of accounts of people all claiming to have gotten a glimpse of heaven between being declared legally dead and being revived. I've had this book on my shelf for so long and I often think, "Why haven't I read that yet?!" so I'm very excited to finally be getting to it!

📚May's Cake... My language Arts buddy read with kindergartner B. I liked this book when I read it before and she's definitely enjoying it!

📚The Mouse and the Motorcycle... My language arts buddy read with second grader A. Not my very favorite book we've ever read and I wish the chapters were a hair shorter but still a good read!

📚Start Here Start Now... I definitely enjoy these morning life coach prompts! I'm nearly finished with this one.

📚Homeschool reads: Everybody Always for Kids // Life of Fred: Apples // My First Book About the Brain // Mountains of the Worl // The Story of the World // Wild Words of Science
