Homeschooling, homesteading, and home cooking. Christ follower in Idaho. Natural living.

I really enjoyed participating in the Reshelving A I really enjoyed participating in the Reshelving Alexandria 52 Book Challenge during 2025. 

I read some books I absolutely loved, some that were okay, and some I didn't like.
Even if not every book I chose was amazing, I find that reading challenges stretch me, and I appreciate that. 

Top 10 favorites this year (in no particular order):
*We Were the Lucky Ones
*The 100 Year Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared (I feel the need to mention that this had a lot of cuss words, as well as murder)
*Beneath the Bending Skies
*Across So Many Seas
*Shattered Dreams by Irene Spencer (there are several books with this title)
*The Glass Castle 
*The Best Cook in the World
*A Tree Grows in Brooklyn (this was my favorite book in high school)
*The Tea Girl of Hummingbird Lane
*The Frozen River

You know you're a homesteader when you have one po You know you're a homesteader when you have one pocket full of cayenne peppers, the other pocket full of eggs, and you decide to try to carry some pumpkins as well so you don't have to make another trip. 
Spoiler alert: The resulting broken egg in my pocket wasn't the best thing that happened today. 🤪
