Pages Ahead

When I was a kid we didn’t have a television, and my five younger siblings and I loved to read. Our favorite night of the month was Library Night, when our parents would take us to the library and we’d check out a big pile of books. We thought it was cruel of them to limit us to eight books each, but 6x8=48, which is a lot, so I guess they were justified. Anyway, we were voracious readers.

Brain Food

We’ve had more than our fair share of rain here in New Hampshire over the past several days. We Beans have been more fortunate than some, though. Yesterday’s wild storms and floods left many people with damaged homes and personal injuries. We’ve only gotten a thorough soaking.
With weather keeping us all indoors, though, our boys have been going a little stir crazy. A trip to the library where we... READ MORE

Tired, with Garfield
Posted by Danielle Bean in Family on Thursday, August 07, 2008
Someone recently emailed me to ask if I ever get tired. The question made me laugh out loud.
I am sorry to disappoint anyone out there who has great faith in my personal indefatigableness, but I have to admit that yes, sometimes I do get tired. Very tired. Exhausted even.
Just yesterday, in fact, I was feeling especially tired. Tired of emails. Tired of dishes. Tired of phone calls. Tired of bickering... READ MORE
Guilt Be Gone
Posted by Danielle Bean in Family on Friday, August 08, 2008
When my oldest child was a toddler, we read stacks and stacks of story books every night. She had her favorites memorized and we would spend hours each evening enjoying them together, over and over again.
These days, I sometimes look at my younger kids and feel a pang of guilt. When did we last spend hours and hours snuggled together on the couch reading and re-reading favorite classic stories before... READ MORE
Re-reading is Great
Posted by Arwen Mosher in Just me on Tuesday, August 12, 2008
I have been visiting old friends this past week, and enjoying it immensely. More specifically, I am re-reading L.M. Montgomery’s Anne books. Nearly everyone has heard of Anne of Green Gables
I know there are people who don’t re-read books. I had a friend in college who thought... READ MORE
Helpful Hints
Posted by Danielle Bean in News on Wednesday, August 27, 2008
I posted some information in this week’s Coffee Talk that might be useful to all readers, so I thought I should share it here too.
For those who are used to reading our bloggers’ personal blogs, navigating through the group blog format here at Faith & Family Live! might be a bit overwhelming.
If you prefer to read only one blogger at a time, you can do that here. Clicking on the name of any blogger in the “posted by” section at the top of a blog post, brings you to “their” page that shows only their posts.
See here: Rachel, Rebecca, Lisa, Arwen or Danielle. Happy reading!

There are less than three days remaining before the release of Brisingr
