Tuesday Tidbits

Another crazy week here in reader land. The girls are loving school and we have started to make some sort of a routine (I think.) The house renovation has been stalled because of a back order item we didn't know about (long irritating story.) And a quick trip to Tennessee for a sweet little girl's birthday!

So for Emma's best friend's birthday we took a trip to the Tennessee Aquarium in Chattanooga.

It was so much fun to surprise Sunshine for her birthday!
I love that little girl like my own. I'm so glad we got to help her celebrate her birthday!

The kids enjoyed playing in the water outside the aquarium.

This is a pic of the kids with a huge turtle shell. I was able to get Sunshine's brother Tristan in a picture!

Time with friends is always too short. But I am so blessed to be able to travel to see them on a somewhat regular basis. I also was able to see most of my family this trip which is a blessing.

Now on to BOOKS!

Just started Lynette Eason's new book

A very good book! Can't wait to finish it and review it!

Starting this one after I finish Without Warning
To Follow Her Heart (The Southold Chronicles Book #3): A Novel: Volume 3
This is a new to me author so I'm excited to read it.

And if these get done quickly, this one is next.

Have a great week!


Happy Reading!!!

Catch A Star by Tamika Catchings with Ken Petersen


When all she wanted was to fit in, Tamika Catchings stood out and felt left out, never knowing one day she'd stand out--as a basketball superstar and an inspiration. She faced being set apart by her hearing loss, separated from family, living up to high expectations, and the pain and discouragement of debilitating physical injury. Yet she reached for the stars with hard work, perseverance, and her faith in God. Through the silence, she found the way to shine.

Catch a Star tells Tamika's story of overcoming: of leading the Indiana Fever to its first championship, being named one of the WNBA's top fifteen players in history, earning three Olympic gold medals, and founding the Catch the Stars Foundation to help young people achieve their dreams. Her story will inspire readers to face their doubts and fears, encouraging them to reach for their own stars, no matter what challenges come their way.
