Head in the Clouds is the first book of Karen’s I’ve read, but it won’t be the last. What happens when a recovering romantic goes to work for a handsome ranch owner and her heart’s not the only thing in danger? A fun historical romp that has enough overtones of suspense to keep me reading. And the characters are wonderful! …
Classic Hollywood Reviews: Snow White
1938 was a very good year for kid’s movies. It was the year that Walt Disney released his very first full length feature film cartoon. Who hasn’t seen Snow White at least once, read the Disney based version of the book at least once, or introduced their own children to the magic and wonder of the story about a princess …
Swimming at Victoria Falls? Really???
One of the great things about homeschooling is that I’m always learning something new. Yesterday in history we were studying some of the early (1800) explorers of Africa. That required us to dig a bit deeper into Sleeping Sickness (you don’t want it!) and Victoria Falls. Had to share this video of people swimming at the top of the falls. …
Waiting and Anticipating
Ever have those seasons in life when you know you’re in a season of waiting? That God has placed you there for whatever reason? I’ve got a couple of those going… In the next four to six weeks (I’m voting for four!), our little boy will join us. Since this is the last time I’ll be pregnant, I’m trying to …
Classic Hollywood Reviews: The Sound of Music
Sing with me…. “The hills are alive….with the sound of music…aaaaa…with songs they have sung for a thousand years…” In some ways the Sound of Music, doesn’t feel old enough to be a classic. I remember watching it most years during the holiday season as a child. It was one of those annual rites of passage. But the movie did …
Are we breaking our kids?
My sister posted a link on her facebook to an article written by Single Dad Laughing. I’d never heard of him, but the post really got me. Take a moment to pop over and read it here, then promise you’ll come back. Ouch. Think about it. How often have you seen a parent do that to a child in public? …
Review: Don’t Look Back
While I liked the first book in this series, Don’t Look Back is a brilliant suspense offering from Lynette Eason. With this book she has won me over and created a fan. Not common with a second book! Jamie Cash is a heroine you can’t help but cheering for and understanding. What she has overcome is mind-boggling. And what she …
For those who like weirdness
Here’s a link to a video over at Stuff Christians Like. It features Chris Tomlin, so I was expecting something serious. Wrong! It’s another parody along the lines of the Toyota ad and that one with the Dads. Can’t think of the title to either right now. But if your Monday is weighing you down, this will either make you …
A Memory Between Us
A Memory Between Us is Sarah Sundin’s latest release. It follows Walt’s older brother Jack. This time the heroine is an Army nurse who stays above the normal banter between nurses and their patients. She’s highly resistant to romance, burdened by providing for her orphaned siblings. Be sure to click on the banner above to learn more about Sarah’s contest. …
Classic Hollywood Reviews: Holiday Inn
Thanks so much for leaving some of your favorite movies here and on Facebook last week. You’ve given me quite an assortment to track down. So today I want to share one of my all time favorites with you: Holiday Inn. Don’t let the title scare you off. This is not a Christmas movie though they do sing White Christmas …
