I hope you have some time set aside this weekend to reflect and praise the Risen Savior. The time with family and friends is just icing on the cake!
Learning
- When the Doubts Creep In by Jolanthe at Homeschool Creations.
- Getting Through to Teenage Pharisees by Jessica Burke at CiRCE Institute.
- Helping Our Perfectionist Child by Erin Vincent at Nourishing My Scholar. For those of us who are recovering perfectionists ourselves, this is a poignant challenge.
Living
- 5 Quick Productivity Tips for the Busy Mom by Tim Challies. When I first saw this title I was slightly annoyed. Just what moms need: another man telling us how to manage our days better, am I right? But this post really helps with changing our mindset about what "productivity" means.
- It's Not Just Hormones by Lisa Damour. Needless to say, I'm reading everything about raising teenagers that I can get my hands (or eyes) on these days. A lot of this made sense to me.
- Here's What You Could Do With Your Life If You Acted On Your Social Media Fatigue by Josh Sabey at The Federalist. This surprisingly thoughtful essay encouraged me this week.
Loving
- Watch Star Wars Celebration's Touching Tribute to Carrie Fisher. Fisher was truly a force of nature. (no pun intended)
- I'll take one: Katharina Fitz photographs abandoned, boarded up houses in England.
