A Favorite on Saturday no less!

Apple iPod touch 32 GB (3rd Generation) NEWEST MODEL
I don't know if I mentioned this or not, but for my birthday, I got this as a hand me down.  Well, not that one specifically, but an Ipod Touch none the less.  It's been a favorite thing of mine for awhile, even before it was officially mine.  And let me tell you why.  It is NOT a phone, which means it has no monthly charge associated with it.  It DOES connect to wireless internet connections, which means you can surf the web, get email, download apps, and listen to Pandora.  I love the fact that I can check Facebook and Twitter from anywhere in my home and that I can update my Google calendar anywhere knowing that it will sync the next time I connect to the internet and once it syncs, it shows up on Joel's iPhone.  I really like the iPod Touch, because it helps us with homeschool.  We use the white board app to draw things, we use the map to find things, we use the ABCTracer app to learn letters and numbers and the clock app to talk about time. And who knows how many times I've looked up an answer to a bizarre question on the fly during class time. 
I also enjoy being able to have devotional time without having to leave my bed.  Hannah is a light sleeper in the morning, if I even roll over after 6 am, she is there, so getting out of bed to be with God has been temporarily taken off the table.  Instead, I turn to my iPod Touch and click on a Bible app and read and think and ponder.  It's been a great blessing.

Tasty Tuesday: Roasted Broccoli

I ran across this recipe on Pinterest the other day that was labeled " The Best Broccoli Of Your Life. " I normally either steam our broccoli in the microwave or saute it with olive oil and red pepper flakes on the stove top. I decided this would be something to try. I did the salt, pepper and olive oil part of the recipe. I didn't have the majority of the other ingredients. In fact, all I had was a little bit of Parmesan  It was wonderful. Not the best broccoli of my life, but honestly, it was pretty close. And if I had the lemon juice and all that jazz, it may very well be the best. What have you been eating lately?

Together is a Beautiful Place by Bailey T. Hurley

  Have you ever wanted to be a better friend or been stumped by how to make your friendships more meaningful? If so, you might want to pick up a copy of Together is a Beautiful Place. Hurley does an excellent job of sharing ways to connect with people that you know and how to easily take your relationships from surface level to deep and meaningful parts of your life. One of my favorite parts of the book is when Hurley incorporates surveys and other data to give insight into relationship building. She shares that it takes 90 hours of social interaction to consider someone a friend. When you’re only seeing each other in passing, it will take much longer than when you carve out time to specifically be with people.  Overall, Together is a Beautiful Place is an encouraging and helpful read. Exactly what I needed as I continue to make friends in life.  I received a copy of this book through NetGalley for the purpose of review. I’m never required to say nice things about books but I’m always
