March Favourites

via me

Autumn has begun. Or at least it ought to have started! We are still getting warm and sunny 26 degree days.
I look forward to sitting by the fireplace, hearing how it crackles and the scent of wood smoke when you walk outside.
But for now, I have some favourites from the month of March! If you want to see what me 2018 March Favourites were, click here.

Books
No Other Will Do by Karen Witemeyer
Ahhh, I loved this book! And that is all you will get until I post my full review next week hopefully.




Music & Podcasts

Be Thou My Vision by Elenyi ~ I adore this beautiful hymn and these girls sing it wonderfully!

How Nancy Studies the Bible (Revive Our Hearts) ~ Great episode, I listened to while baking

Calling Evil Good (Relatable with Allie Beth Stuckey) ~ Shocking but quite educational. I love this podcast ever since I listened to this first episode and I recommend you listen to it!

Pioneers by for KING & COUNTRY ~ It's a beautiful song with an even more beautiful music video...
It was filmed in Iceland and it is utterly breathtaking!




just because.....I can :) and because I can't wait till Season 5!


Movies


Doctor Thorne
I really liked this little mini-series! It was beautifully filmed, the costumes were delightfully springy and Drake Harry Richardson (Poldark) played a lead role. Frank and Mary were an adorable couple!



The Paradise
I don't know if I like this equally or better than Doctor Thorne. Let us say equally!
We have not yet finished it really, and while I want to finish it, I also don't want it to end. It is set in a ladies store called The Paradise and is all about the comings and goings of the store, it's employees and the employer, Mr Moray.




Other bits & pieces

- Lip balm
As soon as the weather got a little cooler, my lips went quite dry so I have enjoyed using the sweet orange lip balm I got for Christmas.

- Hot drinks
Post coming about what drink they are and how to's!

- Psalms 34 & 27 are so good!

- Journaling has been my therapy! Honestly though, writing out my thought and feeling when I am troubled, worried or down REALLY helps. I also write prayers about it because that is ultimately what is going to help. I journal Bible verses and they bring the peace and comfort I really need.
So don't underestimate the effects of journaling!


- Hot cross buns
The ones we get from a local artisan bakery are THE. BEST.



qotd: What was your favourite movie of the month?

    Hello my sweet Hannah! Interesting post! I watched ‘The Paradise’ on youtube a couple of years ago or so. Just loved it, fascinating story, interesting characters and just such eye candy! I think I may also have seen Dr Thorne on youtube. I love Trollope’s books and this is a very nice one. What you say about journaling/praying is so true, keep it up. - Fav movie: ‘The heart within’ with Dr Quinne and Sully, I think. It came up on youtube recently.

    I'd like to listen to those podcasts. They sound really good.
    I haven't had hot cross buns in years. I need some right now.

    mm I love psalm 34! I actually memorized it recently and noticed some things that I wouldn't have noticed from simply reading it.
    now I want a nice hot choc drink!

August Favourites

Wow, August has come to an end already! I am so excited that Spring is basically here now. The sunny weather and longer days have really done something to my creative juices, which seemed to be hibernating during winter and now there are awake and flowing again. Books The Beautiful Pretender by Melanie Dickerson My goodness, I enjoyed this book so much! I have a full review in the works but I definitely had to mention it in this post. It's like the second book its series(Medieval Fairytale series). I have just started the third and final book, The Noble Servant and it is equally as intriguing as The Beautiful Pretender. And the cover of TBP....so pretty! Sarah, Plain, and Tall by Patricia MacLachlan This book has become a new all-time favourite of mine! I found this on audiobook on my library's app and since I'd seen the movies a long time ago I decided to give it a go and get a boost on my Goodreads reading challenge. But I never would have known how much

Why I Want To Be A Mother & Homemaker

-

Hello darlings! I'm going to warn you now, what I am about to say in this post might be a little controversial and many women today wouldn't share my opinions on these topics. But I have decided to go ahead and share what is on my heart about being a mother & homemaker and I hope that you find it interesting and inspiring all the same. My reason for speaking about this is because I think its something that is unpopular but necessary in today's society and the women that do want to pursue the life of a mother/homemaker often feel alone in their choice of lifestyle. My Life Dream If you were to ask me what my biggest dream in life is, my answer wouldn't be to have a great career and a fancy apartment in the city. No, my answer would be this, that my dream is to become a wife and mother and create a home in the country where we can grow our own food, live naturally and simply and let my kids grow up getting dirty and playing outdoors. We'd have som

What's on my Autumn Wardrobe Wishlist

  Summer is slowly coming to an end and I'm gearing up for the cooler weather by thinking about my autumn wardrobe. I'm planning a little thrifting trip in the next few weeks so I'm hoping I'll be able to find at least a few of these pieces while I'm there.  One of my wardrobe goals for the past couple of years has been to simplify & make it more minimal by slowly adding more basics and colours that easily mix & match with one another. So I kept this idea in mind while I'm putting together this list.  I've noticed that what's lacking in my autumn wardrobe is more tops rather than bottoms.  You can easily get away with only a few bottoms but it's usually the top you're wearing that people notice. So its good to have a little variety!  With all that being said, here are a few things I'm hoping to add to my autumn closet this season. Knit sweaters in neutral tones (white, beige, grey etc.) Source Lately, I've really been loving neutr
