Spring Mother Culture 2026

What I'm currently reading and painting while I travel

Dear Mama,

I am currently writing this to you while I’m on holiday. It’s been wonderful to step outside our normal routine and stay in a much smaller home, which I love.

Anyway, when I’m on holiday, I still like to take my books to read. I never stop reading, I may just read a little less. My reading list always includes my Bible, a non-fiction book, a fiction book, and a watercolor book.

My favorite Bible is the ESV Study Journaling Bible (not pictured). I love it because it has both space to write and notes on the text.

For my non-fiction book, I’m reading Total Truth by Nancy Pearcy, which is all about worldview. It is so important for us parents to understand all the various worldviews while living a Christian worldview and educating our children about it.

For my fiction book, I’m reading Wormwood Abbey by Christina Baehr. It’s a book about a Victorian pastor’s daughter who has a mythical salamander. I’m currently at the beginning of the book, but I’m enjoying it.

I also love to take a watercolor book with me when I go on holiday. If there is any time, I like to watercolor and breathe.

What books do you like to take with you while you’re on holiday?

Take care for now, bye,

Mirley
