A Quaker Christmas – Book Review

A Quaker Christmas – Book Review

A Quaker Christmas is a 4-in-1 collection of stories. The four stories are written by Lauralee Bliss, Ramona K. Cecil, Rachael Phillips and Claire Sanders.  This is part of the Romancing America Collection that are being published by Barbour books.

From the back of the book:  “Christmas is a simple matter among the Quakers of the historic Ohio River Valley,  but can it be a time to welcome love into four households?”

Watch this beautiful trailer about this book:

I was so excited when Lauralee Bliss asked her readers on her Facebook page if anyone was willing to read this book for a review. I jumped at the opportunity since I love to read so much, especially Christmas stories. Let me tell you that Lauralee Bliss, Ramona K. Cecil, Rachael Phillips and Claire Sanders did not disappoint in any way. The stories capture the spirit of Christmas.  I don’t want to say too much about the stories, because I want you to experience it yourself.  Once you sit down with this book, you will be taken into the Amish world and you will not want to put the book down.  I definitely recommend this book to anyone who loves Christmas and enjoys heartwarming stories of how love can be found when you learn to trust in God.

I also want to mention that Lauralee Bliss will be having a Release Party for “A Quaker Christmas” starting September 26th on her Facebook Page.  It will continue through September 30th.    Be sure to enter in the secret door prizes!

Multitude Monday #486-495

James 1:17


17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.

So much to be thankful for. Join me today as I share the blessings we have been given.

486.  I am thankful in a lesson on waiting for God.  Yes, it isn’t in my time, but God’s time.

487.  For a God fearing and faithful husband.

488.  Hearing my children tell their Sunday School teacher what they have learned about Esther at home in Bible study.

489.  My children wanting to take turns picking scripture out to read.

490.  Hearing the kids sing praises unto God.

491.  Seeing the leaves change colors.

492.  Spending family time together walking around an old Mountain Farm during their fall festival.

493.  Awesome homeschool support group.

494.  Beautiful day at our homeschool picnic.

495.  Lazy Sunday afternoons.

Take the time to thank God for what he has given you. I promise, if you take just a few minutes each day, you will find something God has blessed you with.

Sugar Cube Pyramids!

Sugar Cube Pyramids!

The last couple of weeks, my oldest has been studying Ancient Egypt using Tapestry of Grace recommended materials. Since we are now wrapping up the Ancient Egypt study, we are doing a couple of projects for it. One of them is building a pyramid out of sugar cubes. I thought this would be a great project to do with all of the kids, including the 2 boys I watch and homeschool on Tuesdays and Thursdays. They decided to not use glue. Why? Because they wanted to be able to eat the pyramids afterwards! So to avoid a sugar rush with 5 kids, I told them they could eat just a couple. I had some happy kids on my hands!

The younger kids did need a little help getting started and the older kids started getting creative with theirs.  Overall, I think they did an awesome job!  I am looking forward to the next project!
