Love at Last Sight by Kerry & Chris Shook

First of all, I need to say that Kerry and Chris have a great way of putting things into perspective. Before I had children, it was easy to keep friendships and work on friendships that had problems. Now that I have children, it is harder to work on those relationships and this book explains to you how to get your relationships back on the right path, whether it is friendship or romantic relationships.


I am looking forward to implementing all the great ideas I have read in this book with my friendships that I haven’t been paying much attention to and my personal relationships.

I would recommend this book to everyone who needs a little help getting your relationships back to “normal”.

Scholastic Book Order Saturday

Every month my son, who is in preschool, comes home with Scholastic book order forms. We try to buy at least one book from each order form. (We are surprised my daughter, who is in first grade, hasn't came home with any order forms)

I am going to start listing the books we buy. I would like to know any books you buy as well, that you would like to share. The books we buy always seem to be a great investment. I hope you enjoy the posts.

Here are the books we bought this month;


The Itsy Bitsy Spider (Sing and Read Storybook)

Miracle of Mercy Land

Mercy Land has made some unexpected choices for a young woman in the 1930s. The sheltered daughter of a traveling preacher, she chooses to leave her rural community to move to nearby Bay City on the warm, gulf-waters of southern Alabama. There she finds a job at the local paper and spends seven years making herself indispensable to old Doc Philips, the publisher and editor. Then she gets a frantic call at dawn—it’s the biggest news story of her life, and she can’t print a word of it.

Doc has come into possession of a curious book that maps the lives of everyone in Bay City—decisions they’ve made in the past, and how those choices affect the future. Mercy and Doc are consumed by the mystery locked between the pages—Doc because he hopes to right a very old wrong, and Mercy because she wants to fulfill the book’s strange purpose. But when a mysterious stranger shows up, Mercy begins to understand she may have to choose between love and loneliness . . . or good and evil . . . for the rest of her life.
