June is all about Dad — the strong, funny, loving fathers, who always have a shoulder we can lean on. Yes, I’m talking about those dads! My husband is exactly the guy I’m describing. He can play for hours with our children, listen to their never-ending stories, build things out of nothing, go hiking, swimming, biking. You name it, he’s going to do it if our children ask him to. And I love watching him and the kids together. So, on June 19th, I planned on spoiling him big time. He’s totally worth it. Read on to see my big Father’s Day plans. Every year I ask my husband what…

Top Four Beach Reads To Keep The Heat On This Summer
Goodbye Spring and a marvelous hello to Summer aka my favorite season. If I could spend my entire life hunkered down on a beach somewhere far far away and all I had was copious amounts of books, I won’t complain.

The first chapter of your Act One is finished and you feel like you’ve climbed a small hill, headed for the top of the mounting.

My Must Read Book List
In celebration of #Fridayreads on Twitter, I wanted to share with you some of the books that are near and dear to my heart. I’ve read each book more than once and I keep a copy in my library to revisit now and again.
