What I'm Cooking:

This week we got into the fall spirit and baked a yummy batch of pumpkin chocolate chip muffins.  Nothing says fall to me like pumpkin flavored baked goods.  That is definitely the flavor of fall.

What I'm Reading:

I'm currently reviewing Sally Clarkson's new book: Giving Your Words.  I find that I'm highlighting passage after passage.  It's so rich and full of encouragement.  I'm only about a quarter of the way through so I'm reserving judgement for now.  But exited to see where this book goes.

What I'm Doing:

We've been spending these cooler evenings walking as a family and then gathering around the dinning room table for a board or card game.  It's been lots of good family time.

What I'm Enjoying:

Visiting with the neighbors in the evenings...

Watching ballet class...

Picking up kids from youth group...

What are you up to?

Unbreakable: The Spies Who Cracked The Nazi's Secret Code {Review}

This true story of the WWII code breakers will bring history alive for your middle school and high schoolers.  As Hitler terrorized Europe, a group of code breakers, spies, and navy men raced against time to crack the Enigma encryption machine.  These brave men and women often found themselves fleeing in the middle of the night in war torn Europe, only to re-establish their work elsewhere and continue cracking the code.  As Nazi forces directed their efforts over the radio, a group of highly skilled workers labored over the Enigma, eventually turning the tide on WWII.

Although nonfiction, this book often read like a novel, calling these real heroes to life.  There's so much history here that I had no idea about.  And the author keep the action going with introducing the reader to a variety of characters all working for the same cause.  The book does cover a vast amount of information which can be overwhelming, but I was hooked by the action early on.  Unbreakable goes beyond your typical WWII book, taking a look at some of the events in the 1920's & 30's that lead up to this point.  Although marketed to middle schoolers, high schooler and adults could easily benefit from the information presented in the book.  Author Rebecca E.F. Barone does an amazing job weaving together this great piece of history.
