No.309: The Wednesday Five #02

This post contains affiliate links.

Happy Wednesday!  Here are my five:

A QUOTE

Mike was right: the pattern of life isn’t a straight line; it crosses and recrosses, drawing in and tying together other lives, as I do when I gather in the ends of my thread to make a knot.
–Mrs. Mike, p.300

A BOOK

I’m about a quarter of the way into The Book Thief by Markus Zusak.  From the reviews on Goodreads, this book looks to be one that you either love or hate.  I’m anxious to see what camp I’ll fall into.  So far, so good.

A BIT OF NATURE

A RECOMMENDATION

Last weekend, I bought the ingredients for Easy Cheesy Pizza Pockets and had the kids take over dinner.  Easy, adaptable and delicious – and I had a night off from the kitchen!  Another reason I love having big kids. 

A MOMENT OF HAPPINESS

I overlooked the bedroom disaster to find these two deep in imaginative play.  So thankful for the little moments when siblings are also best friends.
