June 2023 Book Review

It's BOOK REVIEW day! Let's get in to what I read in the month of June....

I guess I'm kind of stuck in a pattern of reading three books per month. Which I guess is better than NO books a month, right?!

I loved two of the books I read this month. One of them, I did not love. Like at all. 

Someone We Know by Shari Lapena-

Ohhhh my word. This book was a ROLLERCOASTER. 

Someone We Know is about a quiet little suburban neighborhood that gets completely shaken up when a neighbor is murdered. Very Desperate Housewvies-esque, so of course I loved it😂.

I would think I knew who the killer was, and then I would suspect someone else. I eventually figured it out, but the ending still shocked me! 

This was such a good book! If you like a little bit of a thriller, read this!! I think I may try out another book by Shari Lapena for July! 

Joy in the Little Things by Kerri Hess-

This book really is pure JOY! It makes me want to clean out my closet, go to Paris, and start painting water colors- and who knows, maybe I will! 

Whether you need inspiration for home, fashion, or life in general, this is a great book to spark some ideas for your next project! 

Ok, I'm off to get rid of anything that doesn't spark JOY😂!

The Jetsetters by Amanda Eyre Ward-

Hmm...

This book felt really random. It's basically about a woman/mother/widow who is looking for love in her lonely old age. She enters a contest to win a trip, and she wins. She takes her (grown) children with her, and their lives all get in the way of the trip. 

The book discussed their days at sea, their different ports, and the crazy things going on in all their lives. It seemed like it went too in depth in some parts, but not enough in other parts. Again, it just felt really random. 

The ending was in fact, the WORST part. It just...ended. Even the epilogue was random. 

I don't know. I had pretty high expectations for this book since it was a part of Reese Witherspoon's Book Club, but I just didn't love it. 

What did you read in June? Anything I should add to my list?? Have a great Thursday!

Let's Look: January 2026

 Happy Wednesday!! Let's Look is one of my very favorite blog link ups and after not doing it last year, I am ready for it in 2026! I am linking up with Shay and Erika for this monthly series! Today, we are LOOKING at..... THINGS WE OUTSOURCE WITHOUT REGRET. Ok, there are so many things you can outsource that I just would rather do myself. I love to grocery shop. I think I would be weirded out by someone else doing my laundry. A house keeper is just not something we currently need or really want. BUT, there are occasions when outsourcing is just what needs to be done. Grocery Delivery/Pickup We don't do this often, but when we do it's pretty nice. That being said, I am usually ready to get back in the grocery store myself! Food Delivery This is another one we do not do often, but a Wednesday free delivery from Wingstop has sucked me in a few times 😂. And of course, pizza delivery is always nice! Plus, we can get food delivered to the school I work out, so that's nice e...

Friday Favorites {4.2.26}

 Happy THURSDAY. My days are getting so mixed up with a Friday holiday haha! Posting Friday Faves a day early since tomorrow is Good Friday. Whoop whoop! We're getting a 7Brew!! I'm gonna let the new wear off before I go, but dang I am so excited for this! Have y'all tried it?? My sister gave me this MacKenzie Child's cookie jar for my bday and I love!! I made some white chocolate, peanut, and M&M clusters and they looked so cute in it! I will try just about anything once haha, but I finally jumped on the Tik Tok bandwagon and grabbed this facial brush for lymphatic drainage. My mind could very easily be playing tricks on me, but I'm gonna say I see a difference! Got mind from Amazon! And I cannot close out this post without mentioning Autism Awareness and Acceptance Month! Please, please, please educate yourself on what it means to have Autism, how to explain it to your children, how to advocate, how to include, how to help- all the things!! Please remember, if...

Friday Favorites {12.20.24}

 Happy Friday, friends!! And Merry Christmas Eve Eve Eve Eve Eve- that's a thing, right??😂 I'm linking up with Erika and Andrea today to share some faves from the week, and then I will be off for the holidays! My plan is to see y'all back here on January 13! For some food faves.... I grabbed the raspberry kringle at Aldi the other day after seeing so many positive reviews on it. It is really good!! I had some with a cup of coffee a couple times this week! Last night, Caleb made lasagna soup- YUM. Definitely a favorite of mine lately! A great way to end the night.... Caleb made me a cosmopolitan the other night. Yum! I am really going to miss this sight.... This is my favorite time of year for sure! Twinkly lights and candle light = the BEST. On my drive home from work yesterday.... This was a fun little surprise. I don't remember this from last year! I hope you all have a great weekend and a very Merry Christmas and a Happy Holiday! However, whatever, whenever, whereve...
