So excited – I was able to order a few books today with some gift cards, and I can’t wait for them to come!
Zero Waste Home – Oh, this will be a fun one! I’ve been following Bea Johnson’s blog, and I love the photos of her home. It is spotless. And very white. I don’t think I’d actually like to live in it, but I find it very inspiring.
She takes the idea of controlling clutter to a whole new level – just don’t get clutter in the first place. She doesn’t have to spend much time purging, because they don’t own a lot of stuff to begin with, and they stop the clutter from ever entering their home. She says it frees up a lot of time and money, which I totally believe.
Food Photography for Bloggers – I feel the silliest about this one, but Ben says he won’t tease me too much for ordering it! I’m not a food blogger, obviously, but for some reason, I just love taking pictures of food. I think food is colorful and beautiful, and I’ve always loved arranging it in artistic ways, so photographing it joins all my loves together.
The photos I’ve seen online from this book are unbelievable, so I’m extremely curious to get it and spend more time looking and learning.
Kisses From Katie – If you haven’t heard of this story, you should most definitely watch this video about Katie Davis. SO inspiring, I’m actually nervous to read the book. I’m not sure I’m ready to be as convicted and changed as what I’m expecting to be. You may suddenly read that we’ve sold our house and are starting an orphanage in Africa, or something!
What are you reading this summer?
Ordinary Days 
I used to read a lot of Frank Peretti as a teen and I’ve recently rediscovered him. So right now I’m reading House by him and Ted Dekker who is also a favorite of mine and next I’ll read The Oath which was my favorite book of his
Oh! If you do, let us know and we’ll come with you! I always pictured myself working in an African orphanage, even though I don’t know anything about it.
