January Books


This book of essays by a writer and comedian talked about modern issues for women and social responsibility for comedians.  I enjoyed her perspective and felt the confidence to be who I am after reading.



This fiction book about motherhood is funny and lighthearted while making fun of the ridiculous expectations placed on motherhood at times.  I have felt "mommy-shamed" before and can imagine that all mothers can relate to at least one of the main character's experiences.



I love The Bachelor and was excited to read Andi Dorfman's second book.   At times I felt like she was making up stories in order to be more like Carrie Bradshaw in SATC.  I liked her first book better, but always enjoy reading insider information from The Bachelor.


 As a teacher, I usually think of the beginning of September as "the new year" but also love resetting the house after the holidays.  This book was definitely simple and I honestly didn't learn any new ideas, but I love to read and the style of her writing is enjoyable.  I use her planner and love it but so far her books don't really teach me anything I don't already know.

Life Lately

Before we went back to school we took a day trip out to the Big Cypress Natural Preserve.  We saw around 100 alligators and had the best time!



This pink ribbon tied to a tree is from when Matt was hunting at Big Cypress awhile ago.  He had marked the spot where he was supposed to head back into the woods to find his tree stand.




Since then we have had lots of family cuddle time, brunch at World of Beer, a trip to the movies to see Coco, school spirit night, and a movie and popcorn night at home last Friday!














Today was Ava's honor roll ceremony at school and she was super brave :)
