One of our family goals this year is to read one parenting and marriage book per quarter.  Last week, I shared about the parenting book Jonathan and I read together called You Can’t Make Me by Cynthia Ulrich Thomas. Today, I will be sharing about the marriage book we read together called Kiss Me Like You Mean It by Dr. David Clarke.

It has been a full but fun week around here. How has yours been? Family, Scrapbooking, and MOPS in Muncie are just a few of my favorite things from these past couple weeks. Read on to see what my other favorites are.

The other day, God used one of those times to teach me. “Mom, I want to work on the big puzzle,” Caleb said to me while I was hanging laundry downstairs. I encouraged him to work on it. Not even a minute later “Mom, it’s too hard!! It has too many pieces.”
