Saturday Salutes ~ a Joyful Outlook, Fall Decor, and the Books I Read in September

Kari shares 5 Things to Remember in Hard Times.

These Pumpkin Spice Krispie Treats sound like they would be a delicious treat for fall!

I read a good number of books this month. These first two were non-fiction.

If you’re looking to create new habits of any kind, I highly recommend Atomic Habits by James Clear. He outlines a very practical process for making small changes that can have big results in our lives.

Covert Cows and Chick-fil-A: How Faith, Cows, and Chicken Built an Iconic Brand by Steve Robinson was an excellent book on leadership and company culture. Robinson is the former Chief Marketing Officer at Chick-fil-A.

During our slower-than-normal week as we waited for Hurricane Dorian, I re-read 6 of the Betsy~Tacy books by Maud Hart Lovelace. This was my favorite book series as a child! I started with Heaven to Betsy, which covers her freshman year of high school, and read through the last one, Betsy’s Wedding.

I read another book by Laura Frantz, The Frontiersman’s Daughter. I’ve read a good many of her books over the last couple of months.

A few pages into Imposter by Davis Bunn, I realized that I’d read this book before. However, I didn’t remember how it ended, so I read it all the way through again – and it was worth it!

Finally, I’ve been listening to this song often since a fellow mom-of-a-college-freshman introduced me to it a few weeks ago. And yes, it can be tear-inducing!!!

Hope you have a wonderful weekend!!
