52 Uncommon Ways to Unwind Together: A Couple's Guide to Relaxing, Refreshing, and De-Stressing

A Couple's Guide to Relaxing, Refreshing, and De-stressing

Needing some creative ideas for date night? This book is full of them. You could do one a week and then you have your year's worth of dates planned.  

It was fun to read about all the different ideas that we could do on date night. In all honesty, we get pretty lazy and laid back on the few date nights we have and we tend to gravitate towards the same things every time. But this book definitely mixes things up a little, so if you are looking to spice up date night, check this book out.  

You could do a micro-declutter and pick an area of your house you want to declutter. Along with that idea there is an idea for how this would fit into a quality time love language.  You can then end the evening with a devotional that talks about God being the God of order. There are questions to discuss to go along with that. 

Or if that's not your thing, you can go on an impulse date which involves stepping outside your comfort zone and doing something impulsive. Examples include shaving your head, sky diving, or just driving aimlessly around to see where you end up. Once again there is a love language this can speak to and Scripture/devotional to discuss as the evening winds down. 

While there were some ideas that were too out there for us, there were a few that I think would be fun to do together. And there are a few that would be fun to do in a group as well. 

I received this book from Moody Publishers and was not required to write a positive review.  All opinions expressed are my own.

Fragrant Whiffs of Joy by Dorcas Smucker (It's Giveaway time)

Ah yes, this was just what the doctor ordered. I've wanted to review Dorcas' last book or two and was always too chicken to ask, but this time I threw caution to the wind and said, "Yes, I want to review your book." And I'm so glad I did. It was the perfect book for this stage in my life. Short, easy to read chapters that can be picked up and read whenever and wherever. They are guaranteed to either make you laugh, smile, cry, or or just give you that ah-ha feeling that someone else experiences life like that too.  I could quote from pretty much every chapter something that struck me in one of those ways, but I really want you to go buy the book so I won't do that many spoilers. I only want to give you a hint of what is to come in the book. First off, isn't the cover beautiful? I can dream of a kitchen table like that with the apple pie still steaming and the tea pot, or coffee pot more likely, full to the brim and a beautiful arrangement of flowers ...

All the Pretty Things by Edie Wadsworth

I haven't posted a book review in over two weeks, I must be lazing off!!! Actually, I had two books going at once and also read a non-review book in between. Not that I think anyone missed me or anything. But just to be clear, I am back and have about six books to review in the next few weeks. Okay, "All the Pretty Things". When I started this book, I loved it. I thought it was an amazing story and it is. Edie was born to an alcoholic father. She rarely saw him sober, but she loved him and enabled him until his dying day. She missed that father figure in her life and attempted to salve that wound by working hard at everything she put her hand to except her marriage. She was raised in rather extreme poverty. Her parents divorced and both remarried, but divorced again. She was abused as a child, though it became a repressed memory that came out through recurring nightmares. She was introduced to Jesus and would often respond to altar calls to make sure she was saved. Sh...
