July has been full of friends, being outside, drinking lots of iced tea, and reading, of course. Here are a few quotes from my reading this month. From Glorious Illusions: A Novel by Lisa T.

Awhile back our family was sitting around after supper talking with a friend and the subject of homeschooling came up.

They are nice treat to have when it comes to baking but there is […]
Well yesterday didn’t turn out how I had planned but it ended up being a good day. See this post for more details on yesterday. No, I did not get my hair cut.

Photo Credit: Flikr- Candie_N Ask my friends. I like to be on time. I like to keep to a schedule. If someone says they will do something, I expect it to get done. I live in a country where none of those things are a priority. Most of the time, I have learned to roll with the punches. Sometimes I […]
Since I out of school, I have been reading a bit more. These quotes didn’t seems to fit with the other quotes so I decided to just do a second post. The quotes come from two books I read this month. The first book is From the Garden to the City by John Dyer “Instead of living our lives according […]
