Rachel, You have such a calming voice, I could listen to you reading all day, makes me feel chilled out x x

[@SweetAndSimpleHome]

I'm glad I can bring some "chill" to your day. :)

[@andrewschopf1959]

It’s been quite a few years ago now, but I’ve read Elizabeth Elliot’s book on Amy Carmichael! Two things that stand out in my memory: 1) what an intelligent, thoughtful woman Elizabeth Elliot was as an author, and 2) what a unique lady Amy Carmichael was! Also, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow is actually hysterical, and it might even be more so for you given the educational hats you and Nathan have worn! 😁

[@jenniferbtoo9344]

I grew up listening to Elisabeth Elliot and found her on KZbin as well! What a treasure trove! We also own several in the story orchestra series! They are all wonderful! Great Haul! It was fun to watch! Have a blessed day! 😊

[@SweetAndSimpleHome]

I'm so glad you enjoy Elisabeth Elliot as well. I've learned so much from her! 💕

[@kelcv6727]

Spurgeon in the neat green cover - what a great find for reading AND display!

[@SweetAndSimpleHome]

I agree! I saw the color first, then when I realized it was Spurgeon, I was sold. 👏

[@donnapostlewait8141]

Nice to see you again. Your painting project is looking good. Great authors you have chosen. Such great literature. I just reread Alice in Wonderland. The book was printed in 1900. I remember buying it at an estate sale when I was in my 20s. I am 74 now. Happy reading.

[@SweetAndSimpleHome]

Well done! I tell my husband often that the only downside to books is that I'm not sure I'll ever get to all the books I want to read. I'm encouraged that you are still reading good books you bought long ago!

[@jacque2317]

Nice seeing you again Rachel! You're voice is so soothing and Greta finds as always so intentional! God bless.

[@SweetAndSimpleHome]

Thank you so much! I'm glad I was able to post this week! It's been too long. 🥰

[@rockers689]

So happy to see your post today. Hope all is well. Have a great day.

[@SweetAndSimpleHome]

Thank you so much! 💕 I hope you have a great weekend!

[@francesahrens1578]

It’s so nice to see you again😃. Wrote down 3 of the books I want to check out. Glad you are feeling better. Getting back to work in a school setting can challenge our immune system😜!

[@SweetAndSimpleHome]

Yes-- it's been a lot of sniffles for me!

[@larag1764]

Nice tablecloth. I hate painting so am very impressed that you are doing your own home 🏡

[@SweetAndSimpleHome]

You know I love painting, I find it so satisfying. But these high ceilings and walls are NOT fun to paint I admit. 😅

[@qtluvBilly3]

What great finds! I love library book sales!

[@SweetAndSimpleHome]

Me too! There's another one in November I'm hoping to hit!

[@maryc5421]

Good morning, another pleasant relaxing video! Thanks for sharing 🙂

[@SweetAndSimpleHome]

You're so welcome! Thank you for watching and being so kind. 💕

[@lindahill7059]

Great choices. EE’s biography of Amy Carmichael is on my tbr list also.

[@pohhong1964]

Welcome back lovely! Love your every video ! Enjoy them so much ❤

[@SweetAndSimpleHome]

Thank you so much!!

[@Lisa6812]

So nice to see you! I was just thinking about you. ☺️

[@SweetAndSimpleHome]

Aw, thank you for thinking of me! I've been off KZbin longer than I thought I would be! 😊

[@arleneg1271]

Great haul Rachel! Our library has a used book store and I am always spending there. Most are just 50 cents or $1! I can't resist.

[@SweetAndSimpleHome]

So true! I know that feeling. :)

[@abby32186]

Love your channel! I wanted to reccomend Ecos Paints as the vocs in normal paint (that "paint" smell) give me migraines. Ecos has zero smell, they can color match any brand, and it doesn't give me distress. Just passing along incase it helps anyone!

[@SweetAndSimpleHome]

Thanks for the tip!

[@susanvelez6534]

I love the paint color it really brightens the house up my friend🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️🍁🍂🍁🍂🍁

[@SweetAndSimpleHome]

Thank you! It feels so much brighter already, I'm much more at home in this color.

[@susanvelez6534]

@@SweetAndSimpleHome agree it just makes the place not only brighter but it feels bigger like more open 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🙋🏻‍♀️❤️

[@cathycorriher6313]

So good to hear from you again......l miss your videos since you started back to work but l understand......enjoyed your vlog and your knowledge on books.....hope work is going well.

[@SweetAndSimpleHome]

Work is going well! I am having a difficulty finding time for all my hobbies. If I read, I'm not editing. If I work in the garden, I'm not painting and so forth. 😅 I do hope to find a rhythm at some point.

[@anniecharlotte4469]

Wonderful book haul! Love CSLewis!!!

[@SweetAndSimpleHome]

Yes! He's hands down my favorite author followed by Jane Austen. 🥰

[@marielacey7928]

Rachel look òut for the Disney version of Ichabod Crane narrated by Bing Crosby it's on the UK version of Disney Plus but on on DVD as Ichabod and MrToad but it's two different stories

[@Toilbaby]

This book interested me. You see I lost my identical twin 11/16. She /I spoke about death yet I never thought this would happen so early. I still had a teen at home so I missed too many red flags with my twin leading up to her death. She/I always spoke 4-5 times daily. Now here I am a twin w/out a twin.

[@SweetAndSimpleHome]

I'm so sorry. What a hard loss to face. I have often turned to good books during times of loss- I hope you can find some comfort there too. 💕

[@lovemyhomelife2152]

Lovely to see you back! I hope the painting is going well. I just love the coziness of books. C S. Lewis, Spurgeon, Dickens....oh my goodness, I love them all!! What finds! 🤗TFS

[@SweetAndSimpleHome]

Thank you! I'm always grateful to find more good books. :)

[@aeg1118ag]

Your voice is so pleasant you could be an audiobook narrator

[@SweetAndSimpleHome]

Definitely a dream job for me. :)

[@sharonsomers5513]

We have missed you, how is your new job going? Can’t wait to see what your house looks like when your done.

[@SweetAndSimpleHome]

The job is going so well! I'm still working on finding time for all my hobbies now, but it's a great job for me. I love being where my kids are and being a part of their education. 🥰

[@tanyajohnston8262]

So fun to see a video from you again. Always enjoy

[@SweetAndSimpleHome]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@edwardleecaliforniausa]

Good morning happy Wednesday morning and I hope that you having amazing day today and I loved your vlogs and you are amazing Supporter

[@lynns3868]

It was so nice to see this video pop up in my feed. I was just thinking about you yesterday and figured you must be busy with work and home stuff. You found some great books. I love reading and love finding good book deals.

[@SweetAndSimpleHome]

Yes! Thank you! Adjusting to a new schedule with having all three kids in school has been almost as challenging as working-- three kids with homework needs/class parties/meetings-- its a busy stage in life!

[@kathyhullinger1585]

What wonderful books! I have discovered that I recently have loved reading all of Max Lucado's books. I first read, "And the Angel's were Silent". After that I was hooked and have read every one I can get my hands on. I love the new paint color and your table cloth is lovely.

[@SweetAndSimpleHome]

Max Lucado is my Dad's favorite author. I have some of his children's books too! They are excellent. 👏

[@marielacey7928]

Goodbye Mr Chips is an uplifting sad story

[@marielacey7928]

Manchester just outside I'm sure you miss the rain too

[@suebarnard1734]

❤ the painting progress! Your books are a great find!

[@SweetAndSimpleHome]

Thank you! Hoping to get some reading and painting done this weekend. 👏

[@barbseibert8303]

What a wonderful selection of books! Always good to see one of your video's.

[@SweetAndSimpleHome]

Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoy the books too! ♥️💕🥰

[@trinaroe5132]

I remember Goodbye Mr Chips by name but I haven’t read it. I think they might have made a movie of it when I was in Jr High.

[@SweetAndSimpleHome]

I had no idea! I'll read the book first and look into it!

[@shelleemoore5775]

Good to see you!

[@SweetAndSimpleHome]

Thank you! 💕😊

[@Flourgirl4]

The Joan Aiken book is one of a series but that is not the first book. My daughter loved that series.

[@SweetAndSimpleHome]

Oh fun! I will keep my eye out for others in the series.

[@sigma_carnivoresse]

I always love the books you choose!

[@SweetAndSimpleHome]

Thank you! 📚♥️ I'm always excited to share books!

[@thechickincharge1073]

I want to paint a small area that we call our ‘coffee room’ and we have four cats so I need to paint this in one day including trim! I much prefer to take my time but cats are nosy critters and I could end up with furry walls!😂 You are a busy mama so don’t be hard on yourself about the painting! All your books are great! I saw two or three I want to find for myself!

[@SweetAndSimpleHome]

Oh yes! I grew up with two cats-- one was particularly naughty and would try to put his paws in whatever I was doing! He'd even walk up and down the piano keys while I was trying to practice. 🤣

[@cindyneel328]

Yes Rachel needs to be an audiobook reader!! I've not read Goodbye Mr. Chips the the movie I love from the 40's with Greer Garson.

[@SweetAndSimpleHome]

Ooo! From the 40's? Okay, I definitely need to read this so I can watch the movie! 🥰

[@lexielue1063]

Good morning, was just wondering how you have been. I have an older version of the Places and times of Bible locations, it was from an estate sale at a local church. Love hearing your voice, it is calming. Do you have a po box, would love to send you a card. Have a blessed day. Linda from south Arkansas 😆 😆 👋

[@SweetAndSimpleHome]

So sorry, but I do not. I don't think I will for now as I just do not have the time to manage another layer of life. Thank you for thinking of me though!

[@lindasmith5190]

Miss you when you are gone.
