"The Sound Of Sleigh Bells" Review and Giveaway!

"We take what is and trust God is making things we can't yet see."

In "The Sound Of Sleigh Bells", Cindy Woodsmall carefully carves a story that warms the heart.  Beth Hertzler is a young Amish woman, hiding a hurt that she feels is beyond anyone's understanding.  When she encounters Jonah, a gifted wood carver, something in his eyes touches her soul.

The traditions of the Amish are woven throughout the plot, allowing the intimacy of old-fashioned letter writing to play a major role.  I found myself racing through the pages, eager to read Beth's words, hoping that she would share the truth of her pain.  And in Jonah, the author has given us a character worthy of affection.  As Beth wrestles with her past and ponders her future, readers will hope for a happy ending.

This Christmas, I will be decking my halls with sleigh bells!

I have a complimentary copy to give away from Multnomah Press!  If you'd like to enter (chosen at random), please tell me what will deck your halls this season....and leave an email address where you can be reached!  This giveaway will end on Friday, Oct. 23, at midnight.

Homecoming '09

Homecoming fashion has come a loooong way since the '80s.  BigBro invited his pals (22 in all + parents) to our house for pre-dance pictures.  I'm still not sure who was here!

LilBro snuck into the mix with his own (too small) suit jacket....

Dream Car

Not only for 16 year-old boys, the '97 Honda Del Sol will wow 40-something moms with its speed, convertability, and jammin' stereo....

Wednesday

Yup, I feel the same way.

PreK Wordle

If You Give A Mom A Moment

We had scrambled eggs for dinner and I absolutely must go to W*lmart for a huge food shop after I take DollyGirl to the nearly three hours of dance class where I will retrieve her at or near my bedtime so the newsletter I wrote for school needs to be placed in my book bag NOW or I will forget it again, making my coworkers wonder if I am just scattered or seriously overwhelmed which reminds me that I didn't really get any of those scrambled eggs.
