Awesome Children's Book: Cha Cha Chimps

This book is beyond adorable! Very fun counting pattern book. It made us get up & boogie in the middle of the library!

What I'm reading now...sTORI Telling

I always put books titles that I've enjoyed into Amazon to see what other recommendations they suggest before heading to the library and sTORI Telling by Tori Spelling popped up as a suggested reading. So when I took the boys to the library on Wednesday I saw that it was in & picked it up. Honestly, I wasn't really sure that I would enjoy it, even though I loved watching Tori & Dean on VH1 while doing laundry & other household chores, but I have to say so far it's really interesting. A little peep hole into a totally different world. Thoughts so far...fun, funny, beach read just what the summer ordered!

What I'm reading now...The Hole in the Gospel

I finished Loving Frank and it IS disturbing on so many levels. You really should read it, but with a friend so you can discuss it because you will need someone to talk to. After reading that I moved on to The Hole in the Gospel by Richard Stearns. My husband and I are reading it with our community group. I'm only on chapter 3 but it's a thinker. So far it's really good. I'll keep you posted!

*I have to admit that I also slipped in a little dessert reading...Something Borrowed by Emily Griffin. It made me really thankful for my friends. These girls....yikes!

Awesome Children's Book: Pete the Cat

My mom got this book for Ash this Christmas and it's our new favorite. We're big Pete the Cat fans now and you've got to check out the author's read/sing along on You Tube it's amazing! It helps you get into the groove when reading it to your little ones.

What I'm reading now...

I am a reader...big time. I always have at least two books going and I can't go to sleep unless I've read a little. A couple of months ago me and some mommy friends decided that we were going to start a book club so far we've only read 1 book (I guess it was more than just a couple of months ago) Mia King's Good Things. It was a light, fun read. It got a little too graphic on the more umm...personal scenes for my taste but other than that I enjoyed it.
We spent New Years with my in-laws ( we dined almond champagne and yummy blue cheese pizza from Whole Foods) and silly me forgot my book! Even though I was super tired at the end of the evening I couldn't go to sleep. Thankfully, my MIL has a little shelf stocked with books in her guest room for a crazy people like me! I grabbed a book called Loving Frank by Nancy Horan and started to read. So far so good, but every time I say to someone that I've started reading it they say it's disturbing and it's not the part about two characters having an affair. Yikes!
So I've decided to take my mommy friends on a little disturbing ride and yes we are all reading Loving Frank. I still have no idea what the disturbing part is, but I guess I'll soon find out. Should make for an interesting brunch! I may no longer be allowed to pick our reads.

*A book I have read and would HIGHLY recommend is Shanghai Girls by Lisa See. A friend of mine is reading another book by her called Snow Flower and the Secret Fan and says it's good one, too!
