Favourite reads of the year: The Harry Potter Series. After swearing from a conservative Christian viewpoint that we wouldn't touch these books several years ago, I picked up the first book from the library after the kids had told me that they had seen the movie at school. I wanted to see what they had been exposed to. Haha! Love them.
Also Linda Cockburn's book Living the Good Life. Someone had mention the book on a Simple Living website and I vaguely remembered reading about the family 'who spent no money in six months' in a magazine. I enjoyed Linda's humorous writing about her family of three living off the land and since reading it I've taken up a few 'green' habits. My mother thought I was going overboard with it all when I took all the tape off the Christmas wrapping paper after the presents had been opened so it could be recycled. Then a couple of days later there was a piece on the news about how the recycling centre had finished sorting out last years Christmas paper pile in October! I'm seriously thinking about making some fabric bags to use more than once instead of wrapping paper. Since I'm going overboard anyway... lol.
