and for reading.....


I slowed my reading pace this month.....I got through one so far.....


The Family Next Door by Sally Hepworth

VERY good- loved all the stories of the different neighbors and how they were each going through their own family turmoil and knew nothing about each other's turmoil....fascinating!




and I just started

Girl Wash Your Face by Rachel Hollis (so far so good!)




What I'm Listening To


Whole lot of that Fort Lauderdale mix still being played 24x7 in these parts!!!

What Else Is New?

Some great placements.... 



Bonus Question Of The Month:
 Favorite Mother's Day Gift Ideas?

Making a memory- whether it is dinner in the city- an event- a day at the beach- making memories rather than something material is more my thing!




So...what have YOU been up to?
