Saturday Salutes ~ Prayer, Road Trip Hacks, and May Reading

May 25, 2019 by Tracey 4 Comments

Kathryn writes about How to Talk to God in Prayer.

Lisa shares 7 Signs Your Little Girl is Becoming a Teen.

Dan lists 13 Rules for My Teenager.

Ayren has 23 Family Road Trip Hacks That Will Save Your Sanity This Summer.

And while I’m not planning a trip to Europe at this point, I still enjoyed Shruti’s post on Top 10 Cheapest Countries to Visit in Europe in 2019.

On to the books I read in May.

My one short non-fiction read this month was The Latte Factor: Why You Don’t Have to Be Rich to Live Rich by David Bach and John David Mann. It’s a neat little parable about how to achieve financial freedom.

I finished three fiction books in May.

The Memory House by Rachel Hauck was an excellent read. That led me to read another book of Hauck’s, The Wedding Chapel, which was also very good. Both were sweet and moving stories, with a touch of romance and a satisfying ending.

Justified Means by Chautona Havig was more of a mystery/suspense read, but I enjoyed it as well – and have plans to read the next book in the series.

Can you relate to this??

Hope you have a wonderful weekend!!

    HAAA!!! Those 2 moods – absolutely!!!

    “7 Signs Your Little Girl is Becoming a Teen” – so Annelise turned 13 last month, and she hit EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THESE (except actually becoming more organized) in DRAMATIC fashion in the last two months. It made my head spin, how fast the changes took effect!

    “13 Rules” – good stuff!!!

    EUROPE!!!!! My heart’s cry!!!! My dream is to be able to go back often & esp. to take & show my kids!!!!!!! It’s been 20 years now since I lived in Germany – how is that even possible(?!?!) but yes: Krakow, Poland was cheap & amazing! I didn’t make it to Hungary, but I’d love to. One of my closest BFFs actually lives in Cluj, Romania, so of course that’s at the top of my list (with free place to sleep! :-D) We had the most delicious YUM snack box from Ukraine a couple months ago, so I’m sure I’d love it there! 😛 And after reading a WWII book last fall that spent some time in Malta, that would be a dream to see in person, too.

      My husband and I were just looking at river cruises through different parts of Europe. Not planning one any time soon, but it’s definitely on our radar for some time in the next few years!
