Show Us Your Reading List

Kelly's Korner is asking to Show Us Your Reading List and since I actually HAVE a reading list right now, I thought I would share!

I hate novels. They just never seem to interest me. I like to read, just usually not fiction. And my mom is always trying to suggest one book or another, but I can never really get into it. HOWEVER, when she suggested The Hunger Games, I actually started to read...and I read for two days (as much as I could) until I finished. I was blown away by this book! For those of you who haven't started this trilogy, I highly suggest it. It's a very easy read and it is totally engrossing.

This book is a trilogy, The Hunger Games is first, then comes Catching Fire (which I am in the middle of) and lastly is Mockingjay. This story is fantastic and a little scary at the same time! Scary because of the possibility of it actually coming true at some point in the future. Our heroine is Katniss, a young, strong willed, intelligent and scrappy lady who is forced to compete in the evil Capitol's Hunger Games. This is a fight to death, an annual bloodbath forced upon the poor districts by the Capitol as punishment for an attempted uprising years ago. What will happen? We just don't know! But it's a non-stop, action packed adventure that I wouldn't put down (if I didn't have to).



Now I can't wait to go home and finish reading!!!

I love your blog! I am following you!
Oh my gosh I know I am so excited! It's coming out next year. I am a little nervous that they don't totally ruin it...it's such a great story but the author said it's hard to fit everything in! I am glad to hear from you both!

Guess Who Has A New Potty???

This girl!! Jason and I took Avery to Target tonight to find a potty chair. We didn't know what kind to get. When we got there, she loved the Sesame Street one. It's the kind that sits on the toilet, not an actual chair. I've heard both reasonings on a chair and a pad for the real toilet. On one hand, the chairs are little and easier for them to sit on and they aren't scary to flush. On the other, the pad doesn't require you to have to clean out a chair and they teach kids to sit on the big potty from the get go. What it really came down to was that we just don't have a big bathroom at all, so keeping an actual chair in the bathroom would have been hard. So we got the pad. It has a little hook that you attach to the tank, so you can hang the pad on it. I love this!  I have no intention of actually potty training Avery full out, just yet. I don't think she is ready. But I have heard it's good to have one that they can practice sitting on and get u...

Some Changes...

We've been going through a bit of a transition at the Whitehead household the last month or so. I haven't really talked too much about it because I wasn't ready, to be honest. It's just a lot of change and I've been trying to figure it out in my head.   As of three weeks ago last Friday, I am no longer a full time work out of home employee.   I can't believe I just said that.   It's been the plan for several months now for me to go into real estate and it was always assumed I'd be doing that part time, while keeping my full time job. Plans kind of changed when Jason got his promotion. He'd always has a job that allowed him a lot of flexibility. In sales, especially after you've been in a position for a while, it just sort of happens that way. He could take Avery to daycare and pick her up, he could take her to doctor's appointments, he could even do chores around the house in the afternoon, while I was at work. I had some flexibi...

Just a little bathroom project....

Raise your hand if this is what your bathroom looks like after every round of baths at your house????
