Book Review — MY CHRISTMAS HOPE– by Penelope Powell

Will two broken souls recognize that the best gift of Christmas is HOPE?

My Christmas Hope, written by Penelope Powell is a cozy holiday novella that will make you want to make a second cup of hot cocoa and to keep reading. When Michael Hennessy and his son Jimmy move next door to Hope Langford for a fresh start from their painful past, a Florida romance between Michael and Hope begins to spark. As Michael’s son Jimmy deals with relational wounds from the past, Hope demonstrates patience and extends friendship which leads to a softly emerging love and a happy ending. I enjoyed picturing Christmas in sunny Florida and I thought the author did an excellent job developing realistic characters. I highly recommend this book!
Thank you Penny, for an ARC of the book. I really enjoyed it. It is an honor to help promote your book!
Don’t you love the cover? The next time I’m at the beach, I am totally making a “sand” snowman.

More about the author:
Penny writes:
A southern girl at heart, I loves green rolling hills, wind chimes that tinkle on warm summer nights, and my momma’s fried pies. I’ve been luckier than most. I’ve enjoyed a life surrounded by family, friends, and a faith that has taught me to discern my worth in a Righteous Savior.
Having traveled and lived in many places, I’ve been fortunate enough to meet people from a variety of backgrounds and cultures, which has given me a broader perspective that occasionally splashes onto the pages of my novels. 
Like the things we experience, I believe good fiction can inspire and change someone’s perspective. It’s my prayer that my words will show others a Savior who loves them.

Tea Party with Mouse

You are never too old for a tea party!  I had a blast at this tea party I threw for my family over Fall Break. (Yes, Christmas is on my mind early this year because of MOUSE’S CHRISTMAS GIFT) 
Thanks to my friend Tonia, I found this fabulous “Christmas Mice” peanut butter cookie recipe from Taste of Home on Pinterest. 

Aren’t they cute? 
I added the cheese cubes (see above) so Mouse would have something to nibble. My kids pointed out that Mouse would not appreciate eating a “mouse.” 
Merry Christmas!
P.S. Do you have a favorite holiday cookie or treat? Feel free to share it in the comment section!
