My favorite product this week is body oil--all natural of course. I love to add this to my moisturizer. It really works for dry skin.

Pinterest Finds

I love sectional couches. I always have. We have never really had the perfect livingroom for a sectional couch. Someday we may try to get one for our livingroom now.

My favorite color right now for sectional couches is grey. Here are some examples.

Cam and Syllabus

Cam set a goal for himself to finish Syllabus in piano. Well, last week he did so with flying colors. He was so relieved. (we were too) We are very proud of him.

Movie Recommendation: Mamma Mia

I am not usually a huge fan of musicals, although I have enjoyed a few (Sound of Music, Mary Poppins, High School Musical). One of my favorite musicals though is Mamma Mia. I am not sure why, but I just love that movie.

Book Recommendation: The Circle Maker

While camping, I read one of the best books called "The Circle Maker." I truly recommend this book to everyone. I plan to buy this book and have the boys read it.

According to Amazon:

According to Pastor Mark Batterson in his book, The Circle Maker, “Drawing prayer circles around our dreams isn’t just a mechanism whereby we accomplish great things for God. It’s a mechanism whereby God accomplishes great things in us.” Do you ever sense that there’s far more to prayer, and to God’s vision for your life, than what you’re experiencing? It’s time you learned from the legend of Honi the Circle Maker---a man bold enough to draw a circle in the sand and not budge from inside it until God answered his prayers for his people. What impossibly big dream is God calling you to draw a prayer circle around? Sharing inspiring stories from his own experiences as a circle maker, Mark Batterson will help you uncover your heart’s deepest desires and God-given dreams and unleash them through the kind of audacious prayer that God delights to answer.

This is a must read.

Baseball Hats

I love baseball hats. When the boys were little, they wore hats all of the time. Now, they don't wear them much. They sometimes wear them when we go camping. We all have quite a few.

You can see all of the hats hanging on the wall
