~ a bit of reading ~

I had a great, yet busy weekend.
I taught my teen class Saturday morning & then got ready to go to the cabin. We headed out to the lake {Lake Winnipeg - 10 min. from Gimili} a little later than usual, but I still managed to stuff my bag full of magazines & books to read on the way. {It really is the only time I get to read and you should see my nightstand! No, I'm not posting a photo of it! ;)} I actually finished a FABULOUS book, and read the major articles in a few magazines!
Someone once asked me what was on my nightstand. I loved the question, but I only read one thing at time back then. Now, with lulu, I read what I can, when I can, which means I currently have a mountain of books on my nightstand. I'm partially through some, finished others, and have yet to open most! :)
I thought I would give you my top five reads...

~ I go to this book frequently... My husband gave it to me {it's his} to help me focus on the bigger picture of my life! ~

~ Clearly, I'm keeping tabs on how my little lulu is supposed to grow... but I'm getting pretty laxidasical about it, and just letting her be her own person, and grow at her own speed & abilities...bigger picture right? ~

~ My hubby's aunt & I have this great love for reading romance & Barbara Delinsky is on our list now. She lent me this & a few other books... I just need more down time! ~

~ I'm pretty linear & visual so this this little book keeps my mind sharp...hee hee hee! What can I say? I LOVE Word Searches. Do you know that it is also a great resource for kids who have trouble spelling??? ~


~ This is the book I finshed reading this week-end. Absolutely inspirational, heart-warming & thought provoking! Thanks Tracy; you left it behind at mom's and I picked it up. If you have a chance, read it... another book for the bigger picture of life! ~

What's on your nightstand?

I loved this book as well. If you enjoyed this quick, easy, yet thought provoking read then you should also try reading Tuesday's with Morrie also by Mitch Albom. =)
