My husband has decided to return to school and finish his Associate's Degree, which he only needs about 2 classes if that. I'm so extremely proud of him, knowing that we are pretty much down to our last year or two of Military life before retirement, it's a good thing to get out of the way.
So our trip the bookstore was for some study materials and I was looking for a Pink Bible. I have wanted one for so long and actually used to have one when I was a teenager, but left it back in South Africa and since then have never found another I liked.
I was in luck. Barnes and Noble had a few in pink tones and I had one in my hand but then my wonderful husband saw this one and knew that it was what I was looking for. It's gorgeous, simply gorgeous and I can't say it enough. I immediately put the other one away.
I have sat looking at longingly and just imagining reading through it's pages, highlighting passages and really making it special.
I would have been fine with just my Bible but there were a few others that caught my eye.
Like this one....Whispers of Encouragement, Daily Inspiration for Women.
And Joy for a Woman's Soul - Promises to refresh your spirit
Lastly, I picked up the Devotional for Battlefield of the Mind by Joyce Meyer. I think these are all going to come very handy for me, especially right now.
If I was smart, I would have called it good and just headed on home, but I've never claimed to be wise, so we went into Kohl's. Hahahahahah
Oh my word! It was like Black Friday in there, what was with all the people out and about today, the traffic was insane, the stores were crazy. But anyway, we walked in grabbed a few things and walked right out.
Trust in the Lord...love it :)
I've also been looking for a new Laundry basket and this one was just $10 so I couldn't just leave it there right?
I hope not because I have just two more to share with you.
These baking dishes were on sale. You KNOW I had to get them, they remind me of Cath Kidston and I think they say "ME". Don't you?
They look wonderful in my kitchen and will be put to use for our Easter meal.
Speaking of which, tonight the kids and I will be making Resurrection Cookies. Do you make these with your own children? Here is the recipe we use and it's always fun :)
Resurrection Cookies
And now I need to get off of here, I have books calling my name and have to make the difficult decision of figuring out which one to read first. Hmmmm????
Hope you all have a fantastic Easter Sunday. God Bless!

Happy Easter to you and your family, Sandra.
I have been longing for devotional books, as well, going to take a look at the ones you got. Since we are so much alike, I bet I will love the same ones!
Happy Easter. Debbi
I'd say you had a great shopping trip. May your husband do well with his classes. You guys are getting 'short' with your military career. Hurray for you.
Have a lovely Easter day today.

Sweet dishes. Very spring like!
Happy Easter..
Happy Easter!
I just went through all of the pink Bibles I could find on B&N's website, but didn't have any luck.
Thanks in advance. :) You definitely got some nice buys there!
Kitchen items are my favorite, and I would really like something like your Trust in the Lord for our mantle over the fireplace.
