Gift Idea: Plumb's Ode to Motherhood
In the spirit of Christmas consumerism I thought I'd use a few posts to pass on a some suggestions for gifts. The first is the latest album by Tiffany Arbuckle Lee, the artist known as Plumb. I've enjoyed Tiffany's music over the years. This project is very different. It surprised me. It's a delightful, low-key reflection on motherhood that would make a great stocking stuffer for a mommy of young children. Reviewing the album Kevan Breitinger writes of Plumb:
She is, simply put, happy like a bug in a rug. The mother of two boys, Solomon Fury, almost 2 and a half, and Oliver Canon, 9 months, absolutely revels in the bliss of parenthood and marital happiness. And if that sounds unappealing, don't worry, it isn't. What Blink does is give listeners a window into Plumb's profound joy and awe of the beauty of family life done well, and it comes across as very timely on this immensely personal album.I bought the album from iTunes for $7.99. But if you want something you can wrap, you can buy it from Amazon

Going Crazy Over Lincoln: On vacation I read Team of Rivals and Manhunt. Next in line are two by Ronald C. White, Jr.: A. Lincoln and Lincoln's Greatest Speech. I just wrote James L. Swanson an email that probably made me sound like a crazed groupie. I think I need professional help. I want to go visit Edwin Stanton's grave in Georgetown. Anybody wanna come?
Homeschooling Grows: I saw this article in USA Today the other day at the grocery store. It's fascinating to see how the homeschool movement is evolving. Read it.
New Facebook Page: This sounds really cheesy, but we just launched a "fan page" over on Facebook. So here's the deal: I've almost reached the limit of friends I'm allowed to have so we started it as a way to have more friends. So just ignore the whole "fan" thing and feel free to join. I'll be posting more there about the new book and conference stuff. I just loaded some of my favorite pictures from NEXT 2009. Visit page.

That's funny I just stumbled upon this album yesterday! I've even been on her website, which has a great intro, with lightning and thunder!
I talked with my sis-inlaw about it too! She totally loves it! We met her once too, here in Holland. Nice tiny lady! :)

So good to see you Sunday! Thanks for coming up and saying hi! It's such a blessing to worship with a sister church for a day, and see all that God is doing in your church family! God bless!
PS. Thanks for the cd suggestion!
