My Review

Just like the first book in this series I loved this book. Once I started reading it I finished is super quick and was once again sad that it ended. I wasn’t super happy with the ending but I did see that it was going to end up like that. The author does a great job of making you feel like you where there with the characters while everything was going on. I can’t wait to read more books in this series because they are great books and I love the characters!

About The Book

Gentle and unassuming, Hope Kauffman has never been one to question the traditions of her Mennonite upbringing. She quietly helps her father run Kingdom Quilts and has agreed to the betrothal he arranged for her with the devout but shy Ebbie Miller.

Despite the attempts of Hope and other Kingdom residents to maintain the status quo, changes have already begun to stir in the small Mennonite town. The handsome and charismatic Jonathon Wiese is the leader of the move to reform, while Ebbie insists Kingdom must remain true to its foundation. When Hope’s safety is threatened by a mysterious outsider, she can’t help but question what she’s always been taught about the Mennonite tradition of nonviolence.

As it swiftly becomes apparent the threat Hope faced is only the beginning, the town that’s always stood so strong finds itself divided. With tensions high and their lives endangered by an unknown enemy, will Hope and the people of Kingdom allow fear and division to break them or will they draw on the strength of the God they serve?

For Goodness Grape Review

March 13, 2013

About a year ago I first discovered For Goodness Grape and lets just say since I have found her site I only use her lip balms. I am writing this review simply because I love her products and I want to share them with you. I wasn’t given anything for this review in fact she doesn’t even know that I am writing it.

The first time I ordered from her I got one that was Pear Berry flavored and I loved it. In fact is the only lip balm that I have ever used up totally. When I went back to her site a few weeks ago I was sad to see that she didn’t have that flavor listed anymore so I got a few other flavors and thought I would be okay with them.

After I received them I wished I had just emailed her and got the original flavor that I loved. I love the new flavors that I got but I did email her and asked her if she would make my favorite flavor for me and she agreed. I was so happy. I originally order Asian Pear, Pineapple, & Dr. Pepper. Out of those 3 the only one I really like is the Asian Pear one. I loved the smell of the Dr. Pepper one but once I put it on my lips it reminded me of medicine for some reason. The pineapple one is okay but I don’t reach for it first.

I love these lip balms because there are only great things in them and they feel so good on the lips. She uses all the best products and they smell the best out of any that I have seen. I am for sure going to keep buying her products and I recommend them to all of you!

FTC-I bought these products with my own money. The opinions expressed in this review are 100% my own.

Multiple Sclerosis Update

March 12, 2013

It is time for another Multiple Sclerosis update. I had an MRI in February to check and see if the MS was still stable and if anything had changed in the past 6 months. For people who have been following my MS journey for me to have been basically in remission for the past 5 years is huge. The disease has always been super active so Tysabri is definitely the medication I need to be on now.

We also discussed a couple of the new treatments that there are for MS and she gave me her thoughts on them and we also decided that since Tysabri is working for me that we won’t even consider changing treatments unless for some reason Tysabri stops working for me. I personally don’t like what I have read and a few of the things she has told me about the medications that are now in pill form so I am not willing to give them a shot right now.

This is a short update but that is because nothing is going on and I hope to keep it that way. I am going to write a post about what an infusion day is like for me so be on the look out for that in the next couple of weeks.

My Review

After the first few chapters I really did fall in love with the characters. At first the book was kinds of slow and I had a hard time getting into it and I wanted to give it a far shot so I stuck with it and I am glad that I did. Once I was about half way through the book I started to get into the book and it picked up. The author does a great job describing placing and I loved how one of the main characters starts writing a blog. I was overly fond of the ending but all in all it was a good book.

About The Book

Sometimes love takes you on an adventure completely off the map.

Mallory Hale’s life quickly veers off course when she falls hopelessly in love. After a whirlwind romance, Mallory finds herself leaving the bustle and action of Capitol Hill for the remote town of Moses Lake, Texas-with husband, stepson, and a U-Haul in tow.

A sweet, mishap-filled journey into marriage, motherhood, and ranch living ensues, and Mallory is filled with both the wonderment of love and the insecurities of change. But what she can’t shake is the unease she feels around her husband’s new boss, Jack West. Jack’s presence-and his mysterious past-set her on edge, and when hints of a scandal emerge, Mallory finds herself seeking answers . . . and comes to realize that the middle-of-nowhere home she wasn’t sure she wanted is the very place she’ll risk everything to save.
