Just Can't Stop Reading. Authors, books and more written by a wholly unqualified reviewer and reader who just loves to pick up a book. Tuesday, April 19, 2011. My favorite novel by Niffenegger, hands-down, is "The Time Traveler's Wife" - which many have seen in its movie form (sidenote: very well done adaptation). As the twins story starts to imbed itself in their mother's and their aunt's story, and eventually plays out, the roles and identities of these four twins become nearly interchangeable. The boo...

http://spit-up.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
From Make-Up to Spit-Up. My life went from wearing make-up and heels every day to wearing baby spit-up on my shirt. I wouldn't have it any other way. Wednesday, December 22, 2010. Grocery Baggers - an Inventory. You may have noticed that I blog about the grocery store a lot. I think that's because I work from home, so I really don't leave the house all that often. Grocery shopping is the one time each week that I'm guaranteed to get out of here! The cashier. Contrary to popular belief, the bagger. Sticke...

Becky Gets Crafty: Wedding DIY
http://beckygetscrafty.blogspot.com/2011/02/wedding-diy.html
Tuesday, February 8, 2011. I need your favorite ideas, patterns, thoughts and creative energies- because it's time for some serious Wedding DIY! I am having a destination wedding next April in sunny Florida!
