Oh, August! Where did you go? This month has been a fast paced month
for me for sure. We started homeschooling, and in addition to all my
other responsibilities, it has really kept me busy. So, I haven't had
a lot of time for blogging, though I have started several
posts. I hope to get around to finishing them
in the coming week or so!

On My Nightstand- Same as
last month! (Grace Based Parenting). I haven't been getting very much
reading done lately. I don't know what to make of that. Definitely
going to be more purposeful about reading next month! Which leads me
to my next point:
Want to Read- A bunch of
other titles. All these unsuspecting books I bring into the house
that are promptly neglected. So much to offer, so unappreciated. I've
got to do something about that.
TV Show Worth Watching-
Well...I've turned into quite the lover of reality TV. Especially the
ones about big families. I started watching Jon and Kate Plus Eight
streaming on Netflix, and ordered the discs of 18 Kids and Counting
(or is it 19 now?) I'm quite impressed at how they handle it all.
I've been taking mental notes. Even though our family is not
considered a "large family", I can still operate in the
wisdom I take away from watching these families in action!
(And lest you think I just sit around
watching television all day, I watch most of this stuff in segments
when I'm feeding the baby or trying to get him down for a nap or what
have you. I used to be able to use this time for reading, but this
baby is SO wiggly!)
Movie I've Seen- You
know, I still haven't ordered a single movie from Netflix. I keep
starting them online, and then lose interest. Terrible! Ha ha! So
unless you count overhearing (and catching bits and pieces of)
the first two Toy Story movies in a seeming continuous loop being
played in the living room, I haven't seen any movies this month.
In My
Kitchen- Food. Maybe a little too much coffee (though it
might be a good thing...I think this is the briefest "What I'm
into this Month" post I've ever done!)
I'm starting to
feel the need to begin the GAPS diet again. I hope to stay on it for
more than a day and a half this time! But really, I would love to see
some changes in foods I can eat while breast feeding (as in the
ability to eat more without affecting my little guy). Though,
of course it all goes back to me...my gut health is what's
causing the food challenges we've been having. (At least that's what
I've come to believe).
Newest Blog
Read- I almost thought I didn't have a new blog read this
month, but then I remembered a dear friend of my husband's family
(now my family, of course) Dena, has started a blog called Corkin' the Crazy. She tells the best stories! I can't wait to see what the
Lord will do with her writing. Pay her a visit and welcome her to the
blogging community? I know her stories will bring a smile to your
face!
What I'm
Looking Forward to Next Month- Cooler temperatures? Please? I
might even take the family outside. A new month of home school (more
about that in another post!) And more blogging, I hope!
