1. The Mansoul Chronicles
Last year, we read the first book in The Mansoul Chronicles series that was put out by Lithos and they released the second one this year. We recently finished it as a family and it is definitely now among our favorite book series. It is based off of John Bunyan’s Holy War, fully illustrated & adapted for kids. It brought about many thoughtful and encouraging family discussions!
2. Hard to Reach: Nepal
In April, Carly and Eden participated in Radical's Secret Church event and they debuted the newest video in their Hard to Reach series featuring the country of Nepal. It was so encouraging and, as always, so well done.
3. Bialetti Moka Express
After having the chance to take a dream trip to Italy with Carly's family last year, there are so many things we enjoyed about the Italian culture and have been trying to implement into our North American life. Things like walking after meals, taking the time to enjoy cooking meals together, and stopping more often for an espresso break. We got an Italian moka pot and the coffee it brews is so delicious. It's easy to make just enough for the two of us and brings a moment of enjoyment and fond memories of Italy when we do. 🇮🇹
4. Ohuhu Markers
If your kids love art as much as ours do, these dual tipped markers by Ohuhu are some of their favorite. They use them for everything: their art, making cards, scrapbooking, etc. They love the vibrant color options, how they blend well, and dry fast.
5. Pickup Music
For several years now, I've been using Pickup Music to develop my guitar skills, specifically for the purpose of serving on the worship team at our church. Our daughter, Alia, has been using it for quite awhile now, too. It's been a really great resource for the price if you're looking to learn or increase your skills on the guitar (acoustic, electric, or bass) and they'll soon be adding piano as well which both of our girls are really excited about.
