Hunter cut these out and glued them into two squares - one for things ants will eat and one for things ants will not eat!

Finished our latest chapter book, "The Family Under the Bridge". Definitely not one of our favorites. I didn't personally think it was entertaining enough, and being set in France there was an awful lot of stuff I had to explain to the kids as we read it.

Math:

A true/false addition game: She cut out addition problems and separated them into piles based on if they were true or false. Then she had to record her answers on her paper.

Community Helpers: The Dentist

During lunch, I found Mister Rogers' Neighborhood on Amazon Prime and I was so giddy to watch it with the kids!!

A Love Undone (Review)

This review is for the book "A Love Undone" by Cindy Woodsmall. I love Cindy Woodsmall and I have enjoyed every book I have read by her. This one did not disappoint me either. This was an Amish story that included a twist I have never heard of or encountered in an Amish novel. In this story, Jolene falls in love with a man named Andy. There wouldn't be any issue, except that Andy is a grass widower. Jolene misunderstands, thinking he is simply a widower. A grass widower is someone who has been left by their spouse, meaning they are still legally married. For Jolene to have feelings for him is akin to adultery in the Amish world, even though she misunderstood his status.

I really enjoyed this book. It has a lot of interesting aspects that were different from some other Amish novels, such as talking about art and the grass widower concept.

Thank you to Waterbrook Press for a copy of the book in exchange for my honest review.

Quilted by Christmas (Review)

This review is for the book "Quilted by Christmas" by Jodie Bailey. I have read several books now in the Quilts of Love series. What I really like about this series is they all have the same theme - quilts, if you can't guess - but they are written by different authors and have completely different stories. This quilt story has an Irish theme intertwined also.

The story follows Taryn and Justin, who last saw each other as high school sweethearts. Unfortunately, they broke each other's hearts. Now Justin is back in town and Taryn has a huge secret she's been hiding from him. Now it turns out that all those years apart haven't really changed their feelings toward one another.

I enjoyed this book. I thought it was well-written and I enjoyed the characters and the storyline.

Thank you to Litfuse Publicity and Abingdon Press for a copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.
