Thanks! I love reading books on theology, mysteries, comedies, sci-fi, and honestly it really depends on the book. I just enjoy reading! My most recent read was "The Mutual Friend" by Carter Bayes. That was really good! I also read through the "Before the coffee gets cold" series and that was so beautiful and deep. I enjoyed it a lot!

As for podcasts I like "The Bawk Talk", "Coffee with the chicken ladies", "Good Inside with Dr. Becky", and "How we made your mother." All great podcasts!

As for homeschooling, it's so fun! I wouldn't go back. I love the extra time it gives me with my kiddos!

Ooh, I'm a big Dean Koontz fan myself (mystery, suspense & sci-fi)! Ill have to check out that series to switch things up a bit I'm seriously limited podcast wise lol so I'll have to try those too, thanks!
I can definitely see the bonus in that! All of my kids are too young for school at the moment (my oldest misses the "cut-off date" by a couple months) but I already fill my days with reading/writing & tons of things that I'm sure qualify already lol
