2011 Book List: Book #8



Well, it looks like Loving the Little Years by Rachel Jankovic will be my last book for the year. Eight books read over the past year. Hm. I had hoped to read at least one a month & then I just hoped to get twelve squeezed in before the new year. Now I'm just happy to have read eight quality books & I'm excited to get started with 2012!

This was a quick read that had me sometimes laughing and sometimes pondering deeply what she said. The subtitle is "Motherhood in the Trenches" and I mentioned to Eric that I felt like that is what I've been doing, especially this past year. The book reminded me to enjoy the trenches & to be faithful in my calling as a mother. I hope to give a few copies away- it's a great read for mothers (and fathers) of littles, especially if you're surrounded by them!

Oh, No! Now I don't have a Christmas present for you, or rather, I have an extraneous copy of a Christmas present for you :( I'll have to ship something else .... tomorrow when I ship the rest of the package.

I'm sorry! Great idea though. ;) Did you get a copy for yourself?

I did. But I'm sure I can pass the spare on to someone else ...

Good job, as I have not read many, hardly at all, you have encourage me to read more. Busy hands and yet time to read. Mom

I loved that book, too! I laughed until I cried when she told the story about her sleep-deprived husband soothing an imaginary baby. :D
