Unglued Devotional: 60 Days of Imperfect Progress

I had the pleasure of hearing Lysa TerKuerst speak right before this devotional came out for review. I loved her! She is one of the most engaging, genuine speakers I have ever heard. Her message on emotions was just what I needed to hear. I haven't actually read Unglued, but after hearing her speak, I felt caught up enough to really enjoy the devotional.

Unglued Devotional is an incredible book! I highly recommend it and loved going through it. It is 60 days long and each day is short, but packed. I feel like handling our emotions is a topic every woman can identify with. Lysa is genuine and honest in each day's lesson. It was refreshing to read someone honestly share their struggles with handling many of life's ups and down, but at the same time offer such hope and encouragement. I think that was my favorite part of the devo. I feel like we can oftentimes either make everything seem so awful or sugarcoat it so it doesn't even seem like an issue. Lysa does a great job of writing about reality but framing it in God's grace and hope.

I hope you take the time to pick up this book! I would recommend it to anyone looking to deepen their understanding of relying on the Lord's grace to help them express their emotions in a healthy and God-honoring way. It has been a perfect devotional for me because my time is short, but I still love connecting with the Lord even for just a few minutes. The day starts out with a verse, then a short message from Lysa, and ends with a thought for the day and a prayer. I love that it is so shareable, too! I found myself sharing the verse for the day or just a little part of the book with my husband. It is a really encouraging and challenging devotional that I recommend to everyone!

The Postage Stamp Vegetable Garden

The Postage Stamp Vegetable Garden is a must read for new gardeners! My four year old son and I have been wanting to start a garden and when I saw this book up for review on Blogging for Books I just knew I had to get it. And it did not disappoint! I learned everything I need to know to plant an awesome vegetable garden. The book is chock full of great advice and information including garden maps and a list of every vegetable with information on how to best grow each variety. The author gives great advice on soils, compost, where to plant, how to plant, and when to harvest. I can't recommend this book enough! Do yourself a favor and pick up a copy. I will have it with me year-round as I am growing my first crop of veggies. I received this book for free from Blogging For Books. These opinions are my own. 

Kids Cook Dinner by Deanna F. Cook

This is a wonderful cookbook for young chefs! My boys loved the recipes and how clearly everything was laid out and organized. I loved how many flavors and cultures were introduced through the recipes. I highly recommend this cookbook to all adult/child chef partners and solo chefs ages 8 and up.  I just reviewed Kids Cook Dinner by Deanna F. Cook. #KidsCookDinner 

The Christian Parenting Handbook

I've been reading The Christian Parenting Handbook and it's great! Dr. Scott Turansky and Joanne Miller wrote the book and say you will learn how to:  Identify character qualities to address problems Build internal motivation Use creativity to teach your kids spiritual truths I love the way the book is set up with 50 short chapters on different parenting tips, common problems, and biblical truths. It's perfect to pick up and read whenever you have a free second. They offer real, practical, and biblical advice. I really appreciated the way the authors gave concrete examples and how to  implement them into your family.  One of my favorite chapters is titled "Don't Practice In The Grocery Store-That's The Final Exam." It's all about what to do when your child acts out in public. They wisely suggest that you, "practice in the kitchen, bedroom, laundry room, and backyard. Children need to learn how to handle disappointment at home so they can accept a
