Another Good Deal!
Fifty Shades of Grey by E.L. James I have to admit that I felt as though I was living under a rock when everyone around me was talking about this book and I had never even heard of it. Was I that out of touch?? It was no surprise that my book club chose this as our first book to read. Apparently I wasn't the only one who hadn't read this book, let alone know about it! While, yes, there were some steamy chapters and some places where I could relate to the characters I couldn't help but want to shake the main character Ana. I suppose it is one of those things where you see the train wreck in slow motion or you're watching a movie and you know the killer is hiding in the closet. I could see where this was going to go and how it would end. It was certainly entertaining and a quick read, however not one of my favorites. In fact, I'm going to pass on reading the second and third books in the series...not quiet my style of book.
Here is another idea that I came across on Pintrest.com. Really, it comes at the perfect time now that my husband and I have booked a trip for my 30th birthday and our 5 year anniversary. There is nothing worse than packing your suitcase all neat and orderly just to open it at your destination and find everything moved around. I especially don't like when my toothbrush ends up next to my hair brush or under a shoe...can't help but feel a little gross. This idea is simple enough and can be made quite inexpensively.
1st Day of Gymnastics How is possible that my little baby girl is now old enough to attend gymnastics classes? I found myself watching her in amazement. It felt like just yesterday I brought her home from the hospital and now this morning I watched her do her first somersault. Unlike me, my little gymnast has no fear...at all...not even a tiny bit. This was her first time in the gym and first time meeting the coach and fellow gymnasts, but you would never have guessed. She ran around laughing and smiling the whole time while trying new equipment and moves. She even jumped in the foam pit - and liked it! I was so very impressed with the coaches who were able to keep twelve toddlers entertained for 45 minutes.
