I’m on two book launch teams right now. I’m over the moon excited about both of them. The first is for Sarah Mae’s new book called The Complicated Heart. Sarah is unafraid of the messy parts of her life. The areas that most people want to hide under a rug are the ones that she brings front and center to show how God worked through it all. This book highlights her painful relationship with her mother and how she learned love and forgiveness. The next book is by Emily Ley and is called When Less Becomes More. Emily is all about simplifying your life. I got to listen to her read a portion yesterday and had tears welling up in my eyes. When she said “I felt empty” I knew this one was written for me. All of that to say– you should definitely pre-order these books! If you pre-order on amazon, you get the lowest price that the book goes in between the time your order is placed and the time the book launches.
Do you have flies and gnats in your house, too? I know that the farmhouse is going to be full of them, so I went looking for a solution. These sticky strips that hang in your window are the best!!! They aren’t really noticeable unless you are looking for them, and they catch a ton. I heard that they work best in the corner of your windows, and so far that is true. I know it’s gross, but it’s also SO HELPFUL to know something that works.
Scott and I have been working through this book together. We are about halfway through, and really love it so far. At the end of each chapter, there are questions for you to answer together. It has been a great conversation starter and really eye opening for both of us.
My friend, Kyle, is trying to open up a board game cafe in his hometown. Click that link and watch his video! It’s so good. I love the idea and think the whole country could use something like this. It’s a safe place to play games, eat snacks, and hang out. His kickstarter campaign is in its final days, and I would love to see him get it going. It’s an all or nothing campaign, so if it isn’t fully funded it won’t be happening. Please consider donating even if you don’t live there and showing that we want more wholesome options for our families!
