I jumped at the chance to read this Amish fiction book, and read it I did...in less than 24 hours. I loved it. The main character Miriam Zehr from Sugarcreek is lonely. What she wants is a man to want to marry her. It looks for a time that her dream will come true when Junior the man she has secretly loved since school approaches her. She is disappointed to find out that he only wants to use her to get to know her friend Mary Kathryn Hershberger. Mary is new in town and seems to have run away from her past. She teaches school begrudgingly and seems a little harsh on her students. Miriam is loved by everyone and is always willing to help. However due to being a little overweight she has no confidence. Her kindness and love has made her loved by everyone, including Juniors little sister. But will it be enough to win the heart of Junior and can they both help Mary Kathryn Hershberger before it's too late?

If you love Amish fiction this is a great read. It covers a variety of topics, reading struggles, self worth, kindness, orphans, and of course love. This book is well written and kept me reading, and reading. I couldn't put it down until I was done...and then it left me wanting the next book.

For the last couple of week Captain America has really been enjoying this really cool picture book full of bible stories. Captain America has really loved these stories. In fact the very day this book came in the mail he made Dad read it from cover to cover. Just about every day since, he has convinced someone to read at least one to him. The stories are all told in rhyme which make them really fun to read as well as listen to. The pictures are also very bright and fun. The book retails for $14.99 it's marketed for ages 4-8 and it makes the perfect book for bedtime. You can check out the book trailer below... The book contains the stories of; Adam and Eve Noah's Ark Joseph Moses Escape from Egypt Tower of Babel Joshua at Jericho Gideon David and  Esther Daniel and the Lions' Den Jonah Birth of Jesus John the Baptist Jesus walking on water The Good Samaritan Parable of the Wayward son Last Supper Jesus on the Cross

The Ultimate Blog Party #UBP13

This is my first time participating in this blog party so I am kind of nervous... You know the walk into a room and not knowing any one kind. I am originally from England and have lived in the States for the last 14 years. My husband is also from England and so although out children were all born here. They still have some strange British quirks, eat British food, and pronounce things in different ways - yes my boys are cowboy boot wearing Americans through and through. The hats normally only come out for Halloween though. We starting homeschooling about two years ago when Jam was starting 5th grade and Boo 3rd. We love it. At the time we had chickens and bunnies - however we recently gave them to a friend who has a farm since we are trying to relocate closer to my husbands work. (He commutes an hour each way.) So my blog name makes me chuckle it should now be Homeschool but NO chickens and bunnies. I am excited to meet new friends. Leave me a comment to say Hi.
