Four Faves: Fall Edition

October 17, 2022 By Kristin Saatzer 6 Comments

Hi friends! I hope this finds you well and enjoying some cool, crisp temps. Here are some fun things I have been enjoying lately…

Book: My book club enjoyed an excellent fiction read last month; it was a hard one to put down:

Podcast: Get your science on with this one, there are new episodes each week:

TV Show: This is a new show to me (rated PG), but it’s in its second season. I thought the first few episodes were entertaining. It is on ABC and streams on Hulu.

Recipe: We are gluten, dairy, and (mostly) sugar-free around here. This one does have sugar, but you might substitute monk fruit, and I exchanged the regular flour with 1:1 gluten-free flour. These cookies were a hit with high schoolers and adults alike:

What are you reading, baking, watching, or listening to? Let me know in the comments.

Four Faves for May

May 23, 2022 By Kristin Saatzer 5 Comments

Happy Mid-Spring! It’s that glorious time of year when the stunning Jacaranda trees bloom in Southern California (my favorite tree).

Here are four other faves that I’d love to share with you:

One: The Lectio 365 Prayer App (free). I’ve been using it almost daily for a few months. I adore the beautiful spoken prayers to begin and end the day. I am hooked: https://www.24-7prayer.com/resource/lectio-365/

Two: I am passionate about learning, and going deep in God’s word. The Back Porch Theology Podcast with Lisa Harper is a delight and makes theology user-friendly. I look forward to it each week and I haven’t missed one yet: https://lisaharper.org/podcast

Three: As we gear up for summer reading, there’s a book you might like to add to your list: The Maid, by Nita Prose. A cozy mystery (that is mostly clean) with a delightful protagonist. A perfect beach or airplane read.

Four: A lovely short story with pretty illustrations called, “Home is a Cup of Tea”: https://longreads.com/2017/07/03/home-is-a-cup-of-tea/?mc_cid=16c2de1db9&mc_eid=9b3c14bce2

What are you enjoying these days?

Until next time!

Blessings,

Kristin

Hi friends!

I thought I would end the month by sharing some of my favorites of late…

Book: My reading life in 2021 has proved enjoyable thus far, and there is one book, in particular, I’d like to share with you. It is called The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry: How to stay emotionally healthy and spiritually alive in the chaos of the modern world by John Mark Comer. I loved this book so much that I started it again as soon as I finished it. Here is a quote: “Both sin and busyness have the same effect–they cut off your connection to God, to other people, and even to your own soul.”

Link: Even if the creator of this video was not my son, I would love it! Enjoy: https://youtu.be/QTlLstJ5x4Q

TV Show: All Creatures Great and Small, Season 2. It is sweet and wholesome with all the feels. https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/masterpiece/shows/all-creatures-great-and-small/#

Instagram: I am a fan of Dr. Daniel Amen. He is a psychiatrist and prolific author specializing in brain health (and so much more). Follow him for daily content with great tips on caring for and optimizing your brain: https://www.instagram.com/doc_amen/

Blessings,
