Book Review

Just ListenThis is one of those teen-drama books about a teenage girl who has problems that she needs to figure out but she cant do it on her own. It basically covers a year in her life and all the family drama that goes on leaving the youngest daughter wanting for something more real.
I loved this book. In some ways it reminded me of me, or of someone I know or of what could have been. It made me cry several times.
I really did just stumble upon this book as I was doing a search for something else to read and the title "Just Listen" caught my attention. I would recommend this book to others because I though it was worth my reading time, but also because by the end you feel better about life and how it should work out. Five stars for this all the way.

It's July!

This is one of my favorite months of the year. I love Fireworks!
But before we get to the fireworks I want to wish every one a Happy Canada Day on this lovely July 1st.
 
(no, I'm not Canadian, but that doesn't stop me from celebrating their holidays too)

It's July 1st!!

As the Days Go By

I had a friend in high school that always used to say "life sucks, and then you die" how right he is sometimes.
 
It's coming closer... John and I will be hitting the 3 year mark in August.
I remember back when I was 25 and John said to me, 'just give us 5 more years to get on our feet and then we'll start a family'
I was horrified at the though of waiting until I was 30 to start having my family... I never wanted to be an "old mom" so when we thought we were accidentally pregnant in 2006 John said 'why not' and we've been trying to conceive ever since.
If I had known it would be this hard 5 years ago I would have just started trying back then and then maybe I'd have a baby by now.
But as it is I have at least 8 children Willed to me in case of parental death, but none of my own.
 
Anyway, on a lighter note it's July! This is one of my favorite months of the year. I love Fireworks!
But before we get to the fireworks I want to wish every one a Happy Canada Day on this lovely July 1st.
