Here's what I've been enjoying this month...
READING
Our busy schedule has definitely slowed down my reading. In July, I read...
- The Reckoning at Gossamer Pond by Jaime Jo Wright - I started this year off by reading Jaime's first book, The House on Foster Hill. I loved it so much I joined her launch team for her second book. The Reckoning at Gossamer Pond is just as good as her previous book! I love these split-time suspense novels.
- Lady Jayne Disappears by Joanna Davidson Politano - I needed a book nominated for an award in 2018 to fill a category in the Modern Mrs. Darcy reading challenge. Lady Jayne Disappears was nominated for, and won, several awards, so I picked it up on sale for Kindle a few weeks ago. I wasn't disappointed! As I write this, I'm over halfway through the book, and I'm on the edge of my seat waiting to see what happens next. It's hard to believe this is a debut novel.
- Thirst of Steel by Ronie Kendig - I've been waiting months for the final book in The Tox Files series! I'm sad to see this series end, but I'm devouring this book. Think military thriller meets Indiana Jones, and you've got Thirst of Steel.
WATCHING
I'm not a big TV person, so it usually takes me forever to finish a Netflix series. I just finished season one of The Crown this month.LISTENING
- Emily P. Freeman's podcast, The Next Right Thing, is keeping me sane right now.
- Needtobreathe has a new album! Everything they do is amazing. My favorite songs are Darling and Bridges Burn.
- Crowder - My youngest is a huge Crowder fan and he's got me hooked, especially his American Prodigal album.
- Ledger - Jen Ledger, Skillet's drummer, released her first solo album. As much as I like Skillet...I think I like Ledger even more. Her album is incredible! I love every song, but I have to say Foreigner is her best.
CREATING
- This blog--I'm redesigning logos, changing my Facebook page, and much more. I'm getting into a rhythm of regular posting.
- Our church Back to School Blowout
LOVING
- My bullet journal. I've been using one for about three years now, but this year I've really found my groove with it. I switched to a dot grid notebook and went with a whole new layout. It's working great! My bullet journal has become part planner, part memory keeper.
- Carpe Diem mini planner stickers. These are perfect for my small bullet journal, and they're so cute. I've found my planner people!
- Plan to Plan Sticker Co. Again, these are the perfect size, and they're super cute.
- My new wardrobe. I've lost more than 30 pounds over the last year, and nothing in my closet fit anymore. I've slowly added all new clothing, and this month I finished it out new dress clothes from Maurice's and Versona, two of my favorite stores. I really love what I'm wearing!
- Ipsy. I got my first bag this month, and I really liked everything in it. My runaway favorite, though, was Realher Moisturizing Lipstick in Girl Power. I liked the sample so much I bought a full size lipstick. You can find out more here.
- Yasso Greek Frozen Yogurt Bars in salted caramel. Really good and only 100 calories! I'm just five pounds away from my goal weight, so a sweet snack that's low calorie is exactly what I need.
STUDYING
I finished a She Reads Truth study on 1 and 2 Corinthians. It was really good! The study on forgiveness from chapter --- was really powerful. Now I'm starting a study of Judges.LEARNING
- How to use Canva. I love this app! It lets me design professional images for my blog and social media and gives everything a cohesive look.
- How to wait. Patience is not my strong point, but God is teaching me to trust Him and His timing for my dreams.
- How to use the Xodo app for digital planning
