Book Club Mamas

I just finished reading one of the best books I have ever read.  The kind that gets you right in the heart.  I had tears rolling down my face from this beautiful story.  So much so that I immediately bought another one of her books that I'm reading now (I'll let you know if its as good!).  It was recommended by my favorite author, Kristin Hannah.


Pick it up here: Me Before You: A Novel

Before that, I read the new book from Nicholas Sparks:  The Longest Ride I cried on this one too. What a fantastic love story. You know the book is going somewhere with two parallel stories but you don't know where till the end! 

I'm always looking for a good book!  What are your favorites?

Donuts and Pumpkins

We had a good Saturday despite having to miss all the birthday parties because we have a snotty kid.  Here it was our anniversary and we had no plans so we did some searching and decided to head to the pumpkin patch.  We met some animals including a goat, a pig and a baby calf.  Then we ate the most fantastic, wonderful, amazing donut I've ever tasted.  Apple cider donuts hot out of the fryer.



We took a hayride to find our pumpkins in the pumpkin patch. They had stations to make fresh apple cider or shoot an apple slingshot, roast hotdogs in a fire pit and more. What fun!  We all definitely got a little dirty and one of us crashed before we were out of the parking lot!  The weather was perfect.  I can't wait to go back to this place at Christmas to pick out our tree!


Our pumpkin find!


It turned out to be a great memory for our family and a tradition I'm sure we'll continue. It also turned out to be a pretty good anniversary, just the three of us.
