Spring Flowers



We trespassed on some property near our house last weekend to take these pics out in a field of wild flowers. I'd been eyeing this spot for a while, but was waiting for a break in the weather. We finally had one. Of course, as it is with kids, Sage was totally uncooperative. So, the photos are not what I had envisioned, but none the less, they are a picture of our life (i.e. an uncooperative 4 year old). As we left, there was a dude waiting to mow down the flowers. Good thing we made it there when we did.

Smut

I like smut every now and then, and this series definitly qualifies for that. It is a very adult vampire series by JR Ward. It is total escapism and a really fun read. I like to read books like this in between my more serious & heavy books.

Happy Easter



Happy Easter! We are finally getting ready to dye eggs. Better get a move on since it's 6:30 pm the night before Easter. Oops!

How To Be An American Housewife

This book was just o.k for me. I thought it would be more historical fiction (which I love), but it was really just a nice story (that wasn't that interesting). Glad to be done with it and moving on.....

Tiger's Curse

This is a young adult series and honestly, I loved it! Tiger's Curse is the first book in the series. There is another one available called Tiger's Quest that I will read shortly. The third book is due out in the fall. The story was very interesting and I learned a lot about the history of India. Like Twilight, there is some teenage hystrionics, but I just powered through those parts :)

Blue Stripe


Sage got her first stripe on her karate belt after her first six week course in junior karate.



She had to pass a little test of all the things that she had learned.




She loves karate and we signed her up to continue.

The Peach Keeper

OK, well I guess the reading slump is over. I read this in less than 2 days. I LOVED it! This is the second book that I've read from this author (the first being Garden Spells). I just love the magic and bit of mystery in her books.
