grilled cheese or quesadillas. My husband eats a sandwich or leftovers - he
takes his lunch to work.<br />

<br />
I just finished reading <strong><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0452298822/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=0452298822&linkCode=as2&tag=ourf0a-20" target="_blank">"Pastors' Wives" by Lisa Takeuchi Cullen</a></strong>. I finished the book, BUT I was seriously offended by this book as a whole.<br />
<br />
I understand that this is a fiction book. However, it was extremely difficult for me to read it as fiction because I am a pastor's wife. I felt like this book shed a very negative light on pastors' wives and that was hard to stomach from my perspective.<br />
<br />
The three pastors' wives in this book seem to be drama magnets and that's what the entire book centers around. I feel like that is not an accurate representation of pastors' wives. As a pastor's wife, I do whatever I can to stay out of the limelight and not attract drama. I also did not care for the fact that the senior pastor's wife had so much control at the church (this stems from my personal religious beliefs as a LCMS Lutheran).<br />
<br />
I could list many more "issues" that I had with this book, but that's not the point. If you are able to read this book strictly as fiction, then you will likely enjoy it. If, like me, it hits closer to home, then it will more than likely not be as enjoyable for you (and may be slightly offensive).<br />

<br />
While we were out of town for a week, I read the book <strong><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1451692374/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=1451692374&linkCode=as2&tag=ourf0a-20" target="_blank">"It Happened at the Fair" by Deeanne Gist</a></strong>. I don't read many historical fiction novels, but I thoroughly enjoyed this book!<br />
<br />
This is a very long book (about 400 pages), but I honestly read it fairly quickly. <strong>Once I got started, I was hooked into the story and couldn't wait to continue reading!</strong><br />
<br />
<strong>This story focuses on the 1893 Chicago World's Fair.</strong> The main characters are a man and a woman. The man, Cullen McNamara, is an inventor who is showcasing his product at the Fair. The woman, Della Wentworth, is a teacher of the deaf who is at the Fair with her students. Of course, I am sure that I don't have to tell what happens by the end of the fair. ;)<br />
<br />
This novel included so much fun information about the 1893 World's Fair - the descriptions were incredible and easy to imagine. If you like historical fiction, I highly recommend <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1451692374/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=1451692374&linkCode=as2&tag=ourf0a-20" target="_blank">"It Happened at the Fair!"</a>.<br />

<br />
I recently began reading the devotional book <strong><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1414374755/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=1414374755&linkCode=as2&tag=ourf0a-20" target="_blank">"Mommy Time" by Sarah Arthur</a></strong>. Each devotional thought is very quick and easy to read. I have been reading one each night and that's working nicely for me, especially at this stage in my life!<br />
<br />
I would definitely recommend <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1414374755/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=1414374755&linkCode=as2&tag=ourf0a-20" target="_blank">this book</a> for any mom, especially a new mom, as Arthur focuses more on a mom's life shortly after baby's birth.<br />
<br />

<strong>Things to remember when shopping at Aldi:</strong> <br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Bring a quarter for your shopping cart.
<li>Bring your own bags.
<li>Aldi only accepts cash or debit, not credit.
<li>You will occasionally find markdown items at Aldi. I always check the fresh
meat and produce sections. Sometimes previous "Special Buy" items will be marked
down as well. All markdowns will vary by store.
<li>Aldi offers a Double Guarantee on all of their products: "If for any reason
you are not 100% satisfied with any product, we will gladly replace the product
AND refund your money." </li>
</li>

<br />
During March, I read three books. I haven't been reading as much since Hannah was born in February, but I am doing my best! I love reading and really just need to make it a higher priority (that, and crocheting!).<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1589977203/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=1589977203&linkCode=as2&tag=ourf0a-20" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjh1cU2odQMzVxAHY-cAjRWLL3d7Iyt9gHa8G_DwGL4U5ixaNN4gOqu0QJC6tsDfiIbbuIotbtwNit4wfcz8lcMWPo4zqzIBcrXqpU18afSU0DNovfNibtJrof4bKMLXlSc3lixvbQ4F2KC/s1600/Amazon.png" /></a></div>
<br />
I finished reading <strong><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1589977203/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=1589977203&linkCode=as2&tag=ourf0a-20" target="_blank">"Lead Your Family Like Jesus"</a></strong> during April. I really enjoyed this book; you can read my full review in this post.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0071381392/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=0071381392&linkCode=as2&tag=ourf0a-20" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfKJr9x_l4MPVGyampXoHpL4-4rOpUJgDfpdXysmCFgtXaGMwdiKxwulgpDNpbKfF1ASE8uhUMgX-dS2gzsPWRjvUzp8YxVbw7UIxM0fn8GTp2STbzkakYrbx-TMEPXz-VlNPv__fz8Z-a/s1600/The+No-Cry+Sleep+Solution+Gentle+Ways+to+Help+Your+Baby+Sleep+Through+the+Night_2013-04-15_15-47-50.png" /></a></div>
<br />
I also read <strong><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0071381392/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=0071381392&linkCode=as2&tag=ourf0a-20" target="_blank">"No Cry Sleep Solution"</a></strong> this month. While I didn't agree with everything in this book, I learned a few important tips from the authors. It is extremely important to me that Hannah learns good, solid sleep habits now as a baby, so I appreciate everything I can learn about the topic!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1451692374/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=1451692374&linkCode=as2&tag=ourf0a-20" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivvxdmwDxx6X0r8wR-dAgJuF7iyan2JLMTjWUnZYHGxXZRQMg7EfoniklbPstHmGYJ-WKSKwJohj6hJ2jGGYAeaOp1b6A7VOw5rhydPQ90J5riZ5yQZAiLzmrSYm7zcUJWbd-Cs1R0qbZ4/s320/It+Happened+at+the+Fair+A+Novel+Deeanne+Gist+9781451692372+Amazon.png" width="211" /></a></div>
<br />
And finally, I read <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1451692374/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=1451692374&linkCode=as2&tag=ourf0a-20" target="_blank"><strong>"It Happened at the Fair"</strong></a> last week while we were gone. This was a fantastic historical novel and I read it very quickly! Look for a full review in a couple weeks here on the blog.<br />
<br />
Right now, I am reading two books: <strong><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0452298822/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=0452298822&linkCode=as2&tag=ourf0a-20" target="_blank">"Pastor's Wives"</a></strong> and <strong><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0520270231/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=0520270231&linkCode=as2&tag=ourf0a-20" target="_blank">"Bottled Up."</a></strong><br />

<strong>Things to remember when shopping at Aldi:</strong> <br />
<ul>
<li>Bring a quarter for your shopping cart.
<li>Bring your own bags.
<li>Aldi only accepts cash or debit, not credit.
<li>You will occasionally find markdown items at Aldi. I always check the fresh
meat and produce sections. Sometimes previous "Special Buy" items will be marked
down as well. All markdowns will vary by store.
<li>Aldi offers a Double Guarantee on all of their products: "If for any reason
you are not 100% satisfied with any product, we will gladly replace the product
AND refund your money." </li>

<br />
I have been a part of this program for several years now and I love it! I have tested so many different products, including laundry detergent (lots of it!), household cleaners, ant bait, air fresheners, and more.<br />
<br />
After you <a href="http://www.purexinsiders.com/general/register_start.asp?ref=D75FF251-0D4D-4D74-9525-194F92859397" target="_blank">sign up</a>, Purex Insiders will offer you new products to test. Once you sign up for a product test, they will mail the product to you. After testing the product, you need to write a review of the product on your blog within a certain time frame. Quite often, Purex Insiders will also include a few coupons for free products that you can give away to your readers!<br />

<br />
<strong>Sunday:</strong> Grilled chicken.<br />
<strong></strong><br />
<strong>Monday:</strong> Leftovers (clean out the fridge!).<br />
<strong></strong><br />
<strong>Tuesday:</strong> Sandwiches in the car/something quick like that.<br />
<strong></strong><br />
<strong>Wednesday - Saturday: </strong>Out of town.<br />
<strong></strong><br />
For <strong>breakfast</strong>, we each grab what we want: waffles, muffins,
cinnamon rolls, pancakes, cold cereal, yogurt, etc.<br />
<br />
For
<strong>lunch</strong>, I usually eat leftovers or something simple, like
grilled cheese or quesadillas. My husband eats a sandwich or leftovers - he
takes his lunch to work.<br />
