With three of my kids falling in the age range of 6 to 14, I’m always on the look-out for great books for them to read for homeschool, in their free time, and for me to read to them. With summer upon us, I’m especially anxious to have a arsenal of unread books that they’re sure to love.
Today is a good day to….read a book! I was just thinking that no matter the time of year, books always come in handy. They are great for curling up inside and escaping the world when it’s snowy and cold. They are a fabulous companion on a warm sunny day as you relax and bask…

So much to learn, so little time to learn it, right? That’s what I’m here for my friends. I love to read. Anything I can get my hands on, I will probably read it. I’ve previously mentioned my deep love of learning. These last few years my learning has been focused on relationships and psychology….
I had just been following the recent and tragic story of Jessica, the missing 10 year old from Colorado, whose body was found after she had been kidnapped. It made my heart sick.
