July Wrap up (In September)


Way behind, still, this is July's wrap up. Sometimes I hate reading so much in a month b/c I already don't remember what half of these were about. 



I read the other 2 books in this series, and loved them. I am sad to say I didn't love this one as much. 
⭐⭐⭐⭐



This one I do remember reading, and one thing I really liked was the main character was a "damaged soul" and had all these issues and she didn't use it as an excuse to keep her from being in a functional relationship like most fucked up women in books do. 
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐


I don't remember this one at all but Goodreads said I liked it enough for 4 stars, so I guess I liked it. 
⭐⭐⭐⭐


A Colleen book, what else is there to say...

Pin-it Tuesday



This week I'm in trouble for sharing an article on my Facebook page that I related to. This week I let him get to me again. This week I'm broken again.

Pin-it Tuesday




The Pride festival is coming up on the 15th! I'm brainstorming now for some ideas on what I want to do with my hair. Two years ago, my sister dyed the underside of my hair rainbow, so I want to do something like it again this year. She's also preforming in the show this year I think? So I have to hurry up and pick something so I can find time with her to get it done! Because of my full time job I can't do all rainbow, or anything to crazy like I want to, but I think these ideas are cool!


This one I obviously can't do, but it's so pretty! I wish my hair was this thick






I like the braid on this one too, so I would ask her to style it this way so you can see the underside better 



This isn't rainbow but how gorgeous is this?! I wish I was a girl sometimes, and actually spent time doing my hair and make up....

June Wrap-up






I know it's basically September, but I wanted to update the last couple of months. I read a lot over the summer! Being able to listen to books at work again got me out of my reading slump, and I read a really good series this month too!

This series has been on my TBR list for far too long, and I absolutely loved it!

Prompt



A prompt in my blog group this month was 'Water' and we were free to interpret that however we wanted. I love waterfalls, so I went with that. Most of these didn't have the location with the picture so I am not sure where most of these beautiful waterfalls are, but the pictures are gorgeous. 
I'm also tagging this as a wordless Wednesday since the pictures themselves don't have any words.

100th entry!!




This is my 100th entry!! I've had the blog a little over a year now, and although I've been ignoring it lately, I love writing random entries. My son started camp this week, so I thought I would write a little today.

We are 3 weeks into summer vacation and I am a little sad we really haven't done much at all. The last week of school, which was a half week, we took my best friend's son to swim practice. That was fun, b/c my son and I swam for free during his practice. My son didn't know how to swim, and since we don't have access to a pool at our apartment, I thought we would take the chance to try and teach him how to swim. He was sooo close to getting the hang of it, just needed a little push. So the next week, I signed him up for lessons at the same pool. We spent another week heading to the pool every day, which I didn't mind at all. And by the end of the first practice he was going under water!! Swimming like a fish. He was doing so well and I was so excited he finally got the hang of it.

Last week, I started my summer schedule at my part time job, and we had another week until camp started. I thought we would do all of the fun things, since we were done with swim practice. The library!! The splash park!! Kings Dominion!! Reality....we did nothing. Well, actually I did go to the library to get book 2 in the series I was reading, but that was a quick in and out. He didn't want to do the kid movies either ;( 

Basically, we spent last week sitting in the house playing 'The Sims' and just hanging out. We've been having really bad storms here for the past few weeks. They usually only last a few mins, but it looks stormy all day, which makes it hard to plan anything fun. He started camp yesterday though and tomorrow we are going to kings dominion with some friends, so hopefully our summer will become more eventful!

Hope everyone else is having a good summer <3

Pin-it Tuesday



My son's birthday is next month and he wants a Harry Potter party! It's going to be outside, so I won't be able to do too much as far as the theme goes, but I've been searching on pintrest for the invitation and other ideas. Realistically, even if it wasn't outside I wouldn't be able to pull any of this off, but it's fun to pretend








He wants to do some sort of wand craft, but I am not sure what we will do since I think kids will mostly want to be in the water.



I think we will just end up doing something simple with decorations, but I do have a friend who loves Harry Potter and is a baker, so I think I am going to ask her to make the cake. In a dream world, my gift to my son would be tickets to Harry Potter World!! Maybe one day.... *sigh*
