Stepping Stones Together Review/Giveaway

Back when Jacob was in kindergarten, he had a hard time learning how to read.  In fact, he had a hard time just putting the letters together to form words.   Even when we started homeschooling in first grade, he still had a rough time. Things came a bit more difficult for him, but once [...]

Once Upon a Baby Brother

This book is one that actually tugged at my heart, Once Upon a Baby Brother, written by Sarah Sullivan and illustrated by Tricia Tusa.  Not only is it completely adorable, but the storyline was relevant to my own children.  Even though the main character of the book was a girl, and I have boys, I [...]

Vintage Remedies for Girls

Vintage Remedies for Girls is a book that reaches out to tween girls, ages 7-13.  It teaches them all about having a healthy, natural lifestyle.  This can be quite the challenge for tweens today, so this book is actually a great resource to have, in my opinion.  True education comes through understanding….if they don’t understand [...]

Book Corner: Texas Roads

Rarely do I pick up a book and just want to keep reading until I finish….and being a mom, that’s basically impossible to do. However, this book I’m going to tell you about drew me in from the very start, and I didn’t want to put it down. With its small-town charm, its [...]

Book Corner | Raven’s Ladder

Raven’s Ladder

by Jeffery Overstreet

My Review:

I did not find Raven’s Ladder to be as magical as Auralia’s Colors, nor did I find it to be as heart wrenching as Cyndre’s Midnight, but it captivated me none-the-less. Each book has been unique, and that includes this third book in the Auralia’s Thread series.
