I love the ideas on this site.
I especially like this.

Glow-in-the-Dark Stars as Nightlights
Create a well-lit path he can follow from his room to the bathroom. Line up stars near the baseboard and make sure they get plenty of light during the day. You’ll get fewer bumps (or cries for Mom) in the night.
As my husband and I were walking out of the library, our favorite place to hang out, I saw this book in the featured section.
Everyone loves Sherlock Holmes, however I did not like this book.
The idea that the descendants of someone who took Moriaty’s identity and the descendants of another villain find each…

Just to keep track of what I’m reading, this is a Peter Wimsey mystery that was entertaining, well-written, and had a satisfying ending.
It looks like Jill Paton Walsh has taken Sayer’s Peter Wimsey to continue his detective adventures. I have not read Walsh, so maybe I’ll give her a try next time I’m in the mood for some mindless reading.

I don’t usually read Christian fiction, but was attracted to this book because it’s co-authored by Bill Bright, founder of Campus Crusade for Christ. I did not know Bill Bright wrote fiction. As it turns out, he didn’t exactly write this book. “The story and the writing are primarily Ted’s; the heart of the message and the canvas, if you will, are primarily Bill’s.”
I met Phil Vischer last year at the Children Pastors Conference. I wish I had read this book then to know what he’s gone through. I might’ve said something more encouraging than the typical fan blabber “Can I take a picture with you?”
I knew VeggieTales was big, but didn’t know how big until I…
My friend SL gave me this book for Christmas. He remembered that I like books. That in itself made me read it and finished it within 2 weeks.
This is the first Kevin DeYoung book I’ve read. Here are a few quotes I would like to remember:
Another children biography – about the most famous emperor of the great Han dynasty of ancient China.
I know very little about Chinese history. History is not my thing. But this simple introduction to Han Wu Di has given me a better understanding of the challenges of ruling the vast country of China.

Harry Houdini, the greatest escape artist, was able to get out of every jail they put him in.
In order to get publicity when his show goes into a town, he would go to the town’s jail and have the police lock him up. He breaks out within minutes, without fail.
I like to read biographies written for children. They give me a quick overview about famous people.
The latest one I read is about Johann Gutenberg. He changed the world with the movable type, the father of modern printing. He gave the masses access to books.
I want to remember this for myself in my Bible devotional reading.
Matthew 17:1-13 Don’t be so quick to do things for God. The first response is to listen to God. Enjoy the glory and majesty of Jesus.
