Hello darlings!

I am back with you to wrap up the month of May and share of few of my favourite things from this month.

May has been a pretty good month, with glorious Autumn weather. It has been warm, sunny, and the leaves have been softly falling everywhere.

Books


A Rose for the ANZAC Boys by Jackie French
Those of you who have been around here for a while might remember me talking about this book before. This was my second time reading A Rose for the ANZAC Boys and it certainly won't be the last!
I loved it just as much if not more this time. It is so well written and captures the pain, tragedy, and loss of World War 1.
Movies and books seldom make me cry, but I teared up a tiny bit when reading this book.
I can't recommend it enough and I really must get my own copy to display on my shelf!




Music & Podcasts

A Mother Like You by JJ Heller ~ This is just the sweetest song from a child to her mother!

Is He Worthy? by Shane & Shane ~ I heard this song for the first time around Easter and this month I listened to it repeatedly.

Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus by Lauren Daigle ~ Lauren Daigle's take on this older song is just so good. I'll leave it here so you can give it a listen. Her arrangement is soothing and 'jazzy' (listen to it and you'll understand!).


How Can You Truly Please God (Revive Our Hearts podcast episode) ~ This one was just really good and I plan to listen to it a few more times yet!

Sweater Weather Instrumentals Playlist ~ This playlist popped up one day on my Spotify and I'm listening to it now and loving it. It is the perfect acoustic guitar, cosy, Autumn playlist!



Movies

Emma 1996
Google
I really liked this adaptation of Jane Austen's Emma! I have a whole post of my thoughts here!



Our Zoo
Google
Thanks to the blogging world, I had heard about this charming mini-series and then I stumbled upon it in our local library I grabbed it and triumphantly exclaimed to my mum that we must see it because a blogger I knew had raved about it!
It did not disappoint and was a great watch for our whole family. (I will not promise it, but I will hopefully post a full 'review' of this series soon...)



Other bits & pieces

- A Mother Like You music video
Here is the cutest, loveliest and sweetest music vid that accompanies the song A Mother Like You!


- Can We Be Pro-Love and Pro-Life?
I love this girl's Youtube channel and this video is great. She is encouraging everyone to stand up and speak for the unborn and act on their beliefs on being pro-life. In this video, Becca shares some ways that you can help and show your support for the pro-life movement.


That's all for this month folks!

Did you discover anything new and amazing this month?

Keep on blooming,

xoxo

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

She is called Daughter

                                                                      She stood there. Watching. Waiting and dreaming.  Watching the wind toss the branches of the trees. Waiting in the stillness. And dreaming of things still to come. She adored the sweet solace she found on that quiet hill.  How the dainty flowers that grew there, bobbing back and forth in the breeze. For many years she had come here and always to escape the crowd. How they pushed and pulled her; it filled her head with fog. So she came to the quiet hill that felt closer to the sky, to have heavenly conversations with the Father of her heart.  Sometimes she would just sit and think.  Other times she might sing. Often she would pick armfuls of blossoms. But always she knew whose watchful eye was over her and she'd smile at the thought. It was while she was standing there dreaming, that when the breezes stilled, she heard the grasses rustling at her side. She saw a figure approaching,

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
