Blogging for Books - The Bridge of Peace by Cindy Woodsmall

-
This was a wonderful book that explored the relationships of a group of friends living in an Amish community in modern times.  The Bridge of Peace is the second book in the "Ada's House" series.  I read this book without having read the first book in the series.  At first, I was concerned that I would be "lost" and not know what was going on, or who the characters were.  This was not the case.  Soon after starting the book, I was hooked and felt as if I knew the residents of Dry Lake and Hope Crossing.  Cindy Woodsmall does a fantastic job of exploring each relationship in the community.  The reader is able to learn how each member of the community interacts with every other member.  At one point, I was half-way through the book and thought I would read one chapter before going to sleep.  I absolutely could not put the book down and read for hours!  There are twists and turns in this novel that keep you interested in how Lena, Grey, Deborah, Johnathan, and everyone else in the two Amish towns continuously rely on God despite their trials.  I highly recommend this book and I look forward to reading book one in the series, The Hope of Refuge and the third book in the series when it is released!

Be sure to note the helpful character list and Pennsylvania Dutch glossary in the back of the book.



Note: I received this book for free from WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group

    I'm on my first book for blogging for books thanks to your post about it in February. I had to check it out. :) Now, the goal is to just finish in the mist of all my craziness of trying to keep up with homework.

My Cleaning Schedule

1/8/2024 Update! I wrote this post 12 years ago!! Every spring and every January, my blog (that I don't update nearly often enough!) gets a lot of attention on this post about a simple cleaning plan! That makes a lot of sense though, right? That said, I noticed while doing laundry this week that it's time to buy some fresh microfiber towels for us to use for wiping down surfaces. While I'm shopping, I'm going to make a list here of some of our go-to cleaning supplies that you can find online. Microfiber Cleaning Cloths  - I use these for just about everything. I've had more and less expensive ones over the years, but I find as long as I wash them separate from any lint towels, they hold up well for a few years. Glass Spray Bottles  - I have one (and need more!). I like to dilute a little castile soap or dish soap in one for the boys to help clean surfaces. Currently, I have homemade pine cleaner in mine. I put a bunch of fresh pine straw in a jar, filled it with vin...

What's going on in Summer 2024?

When school is out for all our friends, we're always looking for something fun to do together at one of our houses or around town. I've been putting together a list of fun events in our area (Jefferson/Blount/Walker/Cullman counties) so we will never be bored! There's no way we can be at all of these, but I'm keeping them on my radar. If you know of something else that I've missed, leave it in the comments. I'll be updating this post as I find out more information on events and adding registration links as they are available, so make sure to check back often! At the bottom of this post, you'll find a calendar you can download and print for the months of June and July! :)

Meal Plan for this Week

 I'm going to try to start posting my meal plans each week....mostly so I can refer back to them later! If you want to see all my previous meal plans (some are monthly, some are weekly), you can see them here . Future ones will be tagged too if you want to bookmark that link. I always make sure to include some meals designated for leftovers to hopefully reduce the chance of forgetting about food in the back of the fridge. Breakfasts tend to switch between cereal & oatmeal or granola, with the occasional muffins or cinnamon rolls thrown in. As everyone is waking up, they can fix their breakfast with some coffee or hot cocoa, and pick out a book or quiet activity like coloring to do while eating while we wait for the day to get started.
