I keep a basket of books by my bed.  I thought I'd share what is in my basket.  The first thing is my big black journal.   My sister decorated it for me, and I fill it full of ideas and dreams, and tons of pictures from magazines.  I'll try to post about it soon...pics included!

And the following books...

My husband thinks this is silly, but I actually do these facercises from time to time.  I've noticed too many older women with lines that seem like they could be avoided.

My sister reccomended this book to me, and its pretty good, so far.

I really struggle with having time with God and cultivating that relationship.  This book has helped me understand the HOW and WHY to having a quiet time

This book is full of ideas that will help any mom keep simple scrapbooks and memory books for her kids.

I use this devotional some days, on others I prefer Oswald Chambers' My Utmost for His Highest.  We keep that book in the bathroom, though :)

And a bunch of magazines...
