Good morning, friends! Hope you’ve
had a good week. We’ve had some rain around here, so it’s been perfect
reading-and-writing weather, and I’ve done extra of both. And along the way, I
picked up a few things to share with you. Here you go! 😊
ONE.
A few weeks ago, in my book-reading recap, I told you I
read a piece of biblical fiction. I happened upon this post with a suggestion for other books in that genre, and I
wanted to pass it along to you! I agree with the writer of the post: if you
find books that are well-researched and accurate to the time period, it really
can help you understand better how to interpret the things you read in the
Bible. We do read with the lens of the world in which we live – which is
nowhere near the world in which they lived! I have only read The Mark of the
Lion series from the list suggested, so I found some new ideas too!
TWO.
I saw this article about the most popular ice cream flavor in every state, so
OF COURSE I had to read it. I learned Indiana is the second highest producer of
ice cream (behind California). So apparently I do indeed live in the right
state! It was fun to read about the different flavors – and there are even
recipe links at the end. I do not recommend reading this piece while hungry. 😊
THREE.
Wouldn’t it be fun to be featured in a magazine? (For good
reasons, I mean. Not for scandalous ones.) KariAnne from Thistlewood Farms
wrote this post about being featured in a magazine…and her work is even on
the cover. WHAT?!?!!?!? How cool!
FOUR.
Ryan sent me thisarticle – because it features an Indiana high school student who won Olympic gold. But our favorite part of the article is her review of the muffins in Paris! (A Bekah move, right?) I’m impressed that she could hold out until she was done competing to have that reward!
FIVE.
Thisshowed up in my Pinterest feed this week. I know it’s not seasonally
appropriate, but it is so stinkin’ cute, I have to show it to you! A
berry/chocolate wreath that would be perfect for any Christmas/winter/Valentine’s
Day gathering. It is cute as a little button!!
SIX.
In this week’s fascinating homes…thisone is HUGE and way more modern in style than I care for, but I do have to
say, it’s impressive! Also – please make a note that I would not want to have
to clean the windows, but I would love the natural light. Thisone is more my size and style. Isn’t it so cute?
BONUS: Here are this week’s outfits! You know, I really need to figure
out my fall capsule soon!

I have read The Red Tent and found it fascinating. I would also recommend the books by Connilyn Cossette. One series about leaving Egypt and the years in the desert, one about the Ark of the Covenant, and others. Addictive!
