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!

What is Your Skin Care Regimen?

Since turning 34 this year, I've been really trying to make sure I am taking care of my skin. I have been using Cover Girl Liquid Powder for years, but it always seemed to break my neck out. And full disclosure, my face cleaning routine consisted of using Avery's baby wipes (which actually do remove eye makeup surprisingly well). So, needless to say, my skin didn't always look its best.   So, I received some gift cards for my birthday and I decided to go ahead and spring for some better products. First thing I did was get something designed to clean my face. I ordered the Olay ProX Microdermabrasion System.     This system came with the battery-operated scrubber with both a brush and foam pad, plus every day face wash and microdermabrasion wash to be used twice a week. I have really loved using this system. The beauty is that you can really use any face wash you'd like. I will probably buy a pore-reducing wash after the tube they sent me is empty. This syst

It was a very good day.

I love it when God smiles upon us. I mean, He smiles upon us all the time. But sometimes, it's like sunshine, and Christmas morning, and rainbows, and babies, and awesomeness. On steroids. And I know that those times are not always permanent, so I learn to really wrap myself in His goodness, to take it all in, be happy, and just sit back and wait to see what He is going to do in my life. We have been struggling so long. I knew it was only a matter of time before things would be OK again. Where we would feel a little stability. Where we would take all of the things we learned while struggling and apply then when times are good. We have alot of great things going on in our lives right now. Some really great things. Some amazing, mindblowing, off the grid kind of great things. I wish I could share more, but for right now, let's just say that we are incredibly blessed with some great opportunities God is putting in our lives. I leave you with a gorgeous picture of our biggest bl

Dancing With Dad

I have been working on a project these last couple of weeks for my previous company. Yesterday, I was working on my computer and heard roaring laughter coming from Avery's room. I walk in and found Jason and Avery dancing and singing away.   By sheer coincidence, this popped up on my Timehop today. Avery was only 1 in this picture. Boy, are these kiddos lucky to have such a great dad! It makes me heart melt.
