Who I am

I'm a SAHM to two little boys, aged 3 and under 1.

I am a wife to a pretty fantastic guy who created this website for me because I asked. He tolerates (and loves!) me, my obsessions and the book piles around our house. (To clarify- I don't think he particularly cares for the book piles all over the house so I work to keep them contained.) Here is a picture of Jonathan and me:



I have a passion for reading which is really unhealthy at times, or so I'm told.

However, I've always subscribed to the following philosophies:

Beware of the man of one book.
~ Anonymous ~

Books are the legacies that a great genius leaves to mankind, which are delivered down from generation to generation as presents to the posterity of those who are yet unborn,
~ Joseph Addison ~

Of all the diversions of life, there is none so proper to fill up its empty spaces as the reading of useful and entertaining authors.
~ Joseph Addison ~

Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body.
~ Joseph Addison ~

(I had to look up who Joseph Addison was. He made so many brilliant statements!)

It is well to read everything of something,and something of everything.
~ Lord Henry P. Brougham ~

My favorite authors are C.S. Lewis and Lucy Maud Montgomery. Please withhold any statements of illwill towards either of those most excellent story tellers if you would.

I'm a Christian and everything I read and process goes through that filter. I love everything that I do, unless it involves being kept in a confined space for more than thirty minutes or involves listening to someone chew with their mouth open. I'm not perfect but I follow someone who is and I invite you to journey along with me through faith, family and, of course, books!
