Home Tour

Not of MY house, silly!

One of the bloggers (Angie at The Country Chic Cottage) I follow just posted this

 Summer-Tour-of-Homes

And apparently there are 26 home tours this week!  Some are bloggers I read like Infarrantly Creative and Just a Girl

And then some of the bloggers I didn't know until now but am glad to have found!  

For example: All Things Thrifty and her clock makeover.

Their blog hop tour of homes starts tomorrow so if you need to reach me, that's where I'll be! :)

Planning for Summer Vacation

We aren't quite out of school yet, but it is getting close!  Some of our friends in other districts are already on their last day.

Never fear, Pinterest is here!  I've started a summer fun board (probably should have started this way sooner than I did!) and found this:
101 Almost Free Things to Do With Your Kids This Summer - some of these are great!
original source  here

I don't know about you, but we are not doing #55!  We'll attempt many of the others though!

Being that we're a bit of a nerd family, I liked this display for a summer bucket list:
Our Summer Adventure List - Fun Activities to do this Summer -- ideas for your summer bucket list
original source here

We've got VBS, soccer camp, golf camp, and the library reading program too!

What are your summer plans?  If you have a bucket list going, share the link in the comments!  We can all use more ideas.

Have you ever been a little under the weather and rushed to WebMD to figure out what was wrong...only to walk away convinced you have some crazy rare disease and 14.9 minutes left to live?

Yeah.

So this popped up on pinterest this week and I laughed my head off.

I'm sure it's nothing

Happy Friday!

They say careers in the health care field are secure:
Try as I might, I can't find a reason why this won't turn out awesome.

And lastly, this gave me a big laugh:

What I'm Reading ("When Helping Hurts")

Ahhhhh a good book.  I remember devouring the Babysitter's Club series when I was a kid.  Fiction was what the genre of choice for me then.  

Now as an adult, I still love fiction but non-fiction is attractive as well.
And, it is what I'm reading right now.


The description from amazon says in part "Churches and individual Christians typically have faulty assumptions about the causes of poverty, resulting in the use of strategies that do considerable harm to poor people and themselves. Don't let this happen to you, your ministry or ministries you help fund!"

I'm halfway through the book right now and it is quite good.  I'm thinking differently about how I can help people most effectively without hurting or insulting them.

I bought my copy from a local Christian bookstore, you can see if your store carries it and if not, there is always amazon!
