two of my go-to books

I have a very long list of books I want to read. It is super long and it makes me a little sad that I add to the list faster than I check books off the list. I want to read more, but I’m just not in a season for it. One day I hope to be checking off faster than adding. Among my favorite books right now are those that I don’t need to read cover to cover, but instead can pick out pertinent chapters – like crafting books and cook books (this is a new one for me).  There are also two books I pick up throughout the year for ideas regarding holidays and celebrations that fall throughout the calendar year.

Since we are approaching Easter, I want to share those books; I like to use them to help me find ways to make celebrating Christian holidays significant and full of meaning for my family. The first is A Homemade Year by Jerusalem Greer. I started working through this book last year. She touches on several holidays that I did not celebrate growing up. The book is full of crafts, recipes, and ideas for bringing people together. The book follows the calendar year, so it is easy to jump in at any time. It is a really great fit for my family.

The second book is Treasuring God in Our Traditions by Noel Piper. I got this book when my oldest was a baby. It has been my go-to book for nearly a decade when I want to be inspired, encouraged and reminded of ways to make our holiday celebrations significant.

I don’t do giveaways very often (except the last 2 weeks!), but Jerusalem offered to let me host a giveaway for her book and I would love for one of you to have this book in your family. It has been such a special gift for my family, I hope one of you enjoys it too!
