📘 May book review- "Big Little Lies"

My sister and a bunch of my cousin's did a book club several years ago and I loved it! We started out as just having a Bunco group which was super fun, but we wanted a change and started the book club instead. We had the group for a few years and I really enjoyed it. Then all of our lives got so hectic and people moved away so we had to stop it. Recently my cousin Jessica decided it would be fun to start it again and instead of meeting as a group in person we could do our discussions through Face book.  I am so glad we have started up again, I loved being able to visit and meet with these ladies every month. I've also read a lot more books than I would have normally. I have really come to enjoy reading more than I have in a long time. I love I am able to use my imagination and escape my every day life even if it's just for a short amount of time.



➼The first book we read was "Big Little Lies" by Liane Moriarty  

This book talks about a group of  women that strike up a friendship. They all have children who go to the same school. As the book goes on you learn more about these three main women. It gives you a look into their personal lives and learn about why they are the women they are today. I really enjoyed this book, I liked that it had some different topics that don't come up in a lot of books. I also liked that it showed the characters in the book as real people and showed they all had flaws. And it didn't try to show them as perfect cookie cutter wives living perfect lives. There was even an HBO mini-series created about this book that I am wanting to watch.

I am so glad we have started this group back up and I'm looking forward to reading more books!

30 day 📷 challenge....Week 1

I decided it might be fun to do a 30 day photography challenge. So what I'm going to do is take a picture every day for the month of July and post them. I'm going to do them as a week review though so I will just have four posts for this month. It should be fun!! Saturday July 1st: ▲Selfie- I might just be the selfie queen! This day I decided to try something new with my hair, so I did a side bun. I think for my first attempt at it, it turned out pretty good. Sunday July 2nd: ▷Watermelon- I love watermelon, I was a little surprised though to be given watermelon at the end of our Chinese meal the other day. I must admit it was very refreshing! Monday July 3rd: ◊The sun- I just thought this was a pretty picture! Tuesday July 4th 🎆: ◈Action photo- This is a picture from the 4th of the kids running to catch the parachutes. It was such a great day!! Wednesday July 5th: ◅Where I sleep- I love my bed and bedding set. The mattress is so comfy a

Things I do to cheer myself up when I'm feeling down

Over the years I have had to find ways to cheer myself up if I'm ever feeling low. As I think we all have had to do. Here is a list of some of my favorite things to do. ♬ I will usually listen to music. Listening to the right songs can put you in such a better mood and even bring back a whole bunch of memories. I love music and always have it on. ♣♤ Another thing I like to do that will always cheer me up is playing games. I love to play all kinds of games. Card games, board games, anything really. ☏ If I'm ever down I can always call my mom and talk to her she always knows what to say to put me in a good mood and make me feel better. Or I can text my dad and talk to him. I also have several cousins and friends that I can call or text to help brighten up my day. I am so grateful to have them in my life and that I have such a good relationship with all of them. ✄🎨 I love to do crafts and being able to do a craft and use your creativity and imagination is so soothing an

Is this REALLY "The Best-Kept Secret" about weight loss?

   I read a very good article in Time Magazine that focused on weight loss. In the article Kevin Hall studied 14 contestants from "The Biggest Loser." He found that during a regular season of the show the contestants lost on average of 127 pounds and each about 64% of their body fat. He also found that over time 13 of the 14 contestants that were studied gained back 66% of the weight they'd lost on the show, and four of them ended up being heavier than they were before the competition.  Now if that doesn't make you want to give up I don't know what would!  When you think about it those reality shows are really not set up for long-term success, but really a quick slim down. They make anyone watching think they can do it just as fast. And I know that I've said it before but I believe that most Americans want a quick fix and want to have everything right now. Another thing those shows have that we don't is personal trainers, dietitians, chefs and doctors al
