Although it is summer, we still need to keep their minds fresh.  Reading is always a great joy for me and I hope to pass it along to the kids. Broxton used to love it, but now he is trying to not be a fan of it... Lucky for me, Savannah still enjoys and there is nothing like her asking me to let her read me a book!   I wanted to update a post from back in the day as it is a good read that I want to introduce her to it again.   Sweet Penny was a good read and I have to admit I love the photos!    FTC Compliant Review Policy:    The product(s) featured in this review were provided free of cost to me by the manufacturer or representing PR agency for the sole purpose of product testing.

Seems like it is in the water these days... Several of my friends are pregnant or have recently had a new addition to the family. Another thing I have noticed, craft beer is becoming more and more popular!   Luckily, there is a drink out there that can help with the desire to have a drink, but stay safe.  I wanted to share with you a drink that was sent for me to try out.   FTC Compliant Review Policy:    The product(s) featured in this review were provided free of cost to me by the manufacturer or representing PR agency for the sole purpose of product testing.

 As we all know, 2020 threw many things our way.  It was for sure a year to remember!!  I was so excited to get a calendar to document all the good that is bound to come our way.  I started looking for the perfect one, but nothing was grabbing my attention like I knew I wanted.  Then, I was introduced to Workman Publishing and the rest is history!   A good friend of mine is slightly obsessed with True Crime. She watches them all the time and listens to podcasts on her lunch break.  When I saw that Workman Publishing had " A Year of True Crime" page a day calendar, I knew that I wanted to get it just for her.   She was so excited and she and another co-worker looked through almost a whole month in the beginning, as they could not stop turning the pages!    Something that I love?   The fact that the the back of the page has a grid on it, so you can use it for scratch paper the next day.  I think she has enjoyed it ...
