Really Neat Links
Here are some links that are worth checking out.


  • Shannon did a really beautiful job making some pretty burp cloths over at Rocks In My Dryer. Even those of you with little sewing experience could do these up very quickly. And they would make great, inexpensive gifts!
  • Need help figuring out what books to read next? Check out What Should I Read Next?
  • The Internet Public Library. Enough said.
  • Nancy Leigh DeMoss does a great job, as usual, showing us godly truths that women often forget amongst all the lies the world would have us believe. If you have not read her book Lies Women Believe and the Truth That Sets Them Free, I highly urge you to pick up a copy!
  • My all-time favorite recipe website. I have yet to make anything from there that has not turned out well.
  • As usual, Amy has done a wonderful job on this post. What is something that you have changed your way of thinking on?
  • One of my favorite sewing sites! Wondering if you should attempt a certain pattern? You can get reviews from other PR members and their thoughts of that particular project.
  • This site has a plethora of great links for those times you are looking to find something specific for your craft project.
  • A homeschool site. Be sure and check out their extensive links section!
  • Need to find heirloom seeds? Check out this link. It even lists seed swaps you can participate in. Best of all, you'll be buying non-GMO. Yay!
  • Fun ways to spruce up your photos.

Happy Friday!

In His grace,
