Easier Days Brings Peace

I really do like it when life around here is easier.  Easier as in less stressful.  I do not really think it is easier to have an automatic dishwasher.  There is a peace when your washing dishes by hand.  I tend to look out of the window, run through my day or day dream at times.  Instead of using a clothes dryer, hanging the clothes on the line makes my life happier.  I have the fresh sunshine on my back, the breeze blowing across and loving hearing the birds sing.  My stress melts away.  

I think I see that in the books I read by Suzanne Woods Fisher.  Her current on is Life with Lily.  It is the start of a new series that shows life from a young Amish girls point of view. You really do catch that sense of peace with the world.  Knowing that you tucked safely in bed at night while you mom and dad watch over the house hold.  Learning that lil chores help the house run smooth.  And the pride that you are taking those lil steps of growing up. Of course things never same the same, change always happens.   Lily learns this too.  If you was a fan of Little House on the Prairie then you will be seeing this as a new series to fall in love with.

Life with Lily Book 1 in the ‘Adventures of Lily Lapp’ series.

Lily is six in this story, just starting first grade in a one-room schoolhouse in upstate New York. Her parents are busy building a farm, and soon animals join the family—Jenny the cow and Chubby the miniature horse. A baby brother arrives, too, which Lily has mixed feelings about. (She wanted a sister!) Aside from a mischievous friend like Mandy Mast, Lily is happy at school and even happier at home. Trouble is brewing at the schoolhouse and change is on the horizon for Lily and her family.

Be sure to visit the “Adventures of Lily Lapp” interactive website. The site is fun for all ages and loaded with games, downloadable coloring pages, Mama’s recipes, a way to ask Lily questions, book giveaways …and more! Check it out by clicking on the site logo.
