A glance at our nightstands

My stack of books:

Ty's stack of books:

Notice a theme here.

With Kiersten entering junior high this year, I know I need to revamp our Super Money Credit Union idea for her and who better to get some ideas from than Richard and Linda Eyre. I particularly wanted to know how they ran their family economy (Hence the reason for so many of their books on my side of the bed.).

I just finished reading Three Steps to a Strong Family. It was a book I had to renew from the library just to finish it. Not because it was hard to get through but because it had a lot for me to think about. Kiersten actually thought we owned the book since she had seen it around so often. I'm still gathering ideas and hope to have a system in place before school starts.

Ty has been concentrating on nothing but the yard. I doubt he read all of his books but maybe just having them there inspired him a little.

Currently I'm reading Journal of the Trail, a book of journal entries about the handcart pioneers, particularly the Willie and Martin companies. I'm hoping to finish it this week in time for the 24th of July celebrations. I love biographies and books about true incidents. Everyone has a story to tell.

And I just wouldn't be Missy if I weren't in the middle of at least one or two other books. Divine Signatures is quickly becoming one of my favorites, but that is a blog for another day.
