  I haven’t been reading as much as I would like to here lately, so my “To Read” list is rapidly growing. I thought I would share with you all the books that I would like to read this year. I only read 12 books last year and all of that reading was in spurts. [...]

The Fault in Our Stars

If I had a ounce of the writing capability of John Green I would be overjoyed. The Fault in Our Stars was one of the best books I’ve ever read. There is no way I could even put into words the amazingness of this book. But I’ll try… Hazel, who has thyroid cancer and wheels [...]

I am seriously addicted to the library again. I go through spurts because I do love reading on my ipad, but every since I went on vacation and bought a bunch of paperbacks to take with me, I have loved picking out books. Honestly I have checked out quite a few book since December that [...]

I could spend hours scanning through books at the library, especially when it gets me out of sitting at Karli’s cramped dance studio. Really I was on a mission to find a couple of paperback books for vacation. (OMG, I can’t believe it’s almost here already, so excited!) I don’t want to take my iPad [...]

Now that I have finished the Fifty Shades of Grey Trilogy I feel like I need to at least give a final review. In a nutshell: Book One – Awesome Book Two – Even Better Book Three – Somewhat disappointing The plot of book three was not quite as addicting as the first two books. [...]

Okay, I am so confused and can not seem to research this book fast enough! It all started Tuesday morning when I recorded Good Morning America so I could listen to the interview of rejected Linzi. I ended up watching the segment on this crazy popular trilogy of books called Fifty Shades, which I had [...]

While I absolutely love having an iPad to read books on I really miss buying books. Whenever I’m at Target I always seem to find myself walking down the book aisle admiring all the pretty book covers. If I had the storage space and money I would buy new books all the time. It’s my [...]

What I’m reading & meeting Michele (finally!)

June 6, 2011

I finally got my laptop back…yeah!! Ken just closed a job….yeah!!! Only 7 more days of school before summer vacation starts. NKOTBSB concert is next week. Life has been great, but honestly I haven’t been blogging much because the things on my mind are not blog material. I hate that! When these little things happen [...]

Celebrity cookbooks galore

April 19, 2011

I am completely obsessed with all these celebrity cookbooks. Gwyneth Paltrow, Eva Longoria, Sheryl Crow… I want them all. I’ve fallen into the trap of buying cookbooks that end up not having much in them that I would actually cook despite the gorgeous photos. Example: The Pioneer Woman Cooks. Maybe I should give it another [...]

2011 Booklist

January 6, 2011

I got a phone call the other day reminding me to play the lottery since I could really use 350 MILLION DOLLARS! Seriously, what would one do with that kind of money? I was thinking about this last night, how nice it would be to have the kids college paid for and to travel and [...]

Books I’ve read recently

July 31, 2010

Sliding Into Home by Kendra Wilkinson My rating: 4 of 5 stars Kendra’s memoir is the best I have read ever. She writes straight from her heart. It’s almost like sitting down with an old friend and hearing all her dirty little secrets. She leaves nothing to the imagination spilling pretty much everything you’ve probably [...]

Summer Vacation begins

June 14, 2010

Well that school year surely went fast didn’t it? I remember a year ago when I was sort of complaining that Karli didn’t get picked for all day Kindergarten. I wasn’t happy about her having to be home every morning when I was supposed to be working. In the end it all worked out perfectly [...]
