I can’t remember a time when I didn’t love to read. When I was in first grade, I couldn’t just read a few pages a night in my Alice, Jerry and Jip reading book for homework. I’d read the entire book and then have to wait for the class to catch up. Yawn!

Strawberries are now in season here too. My sweet daughter stopped by this week with a basket full of freshly picked berries. Thankfully, I have my Rubbermaid® FreshWorks™ Produce Savers on hand. My berries will last much longer.

Hey Ladies – I have a question for you: how much thought do you put into your financial future? I’m not talking about paycheck to paycheck, or next year. I mean 5, 10, 20 or more years from now. As women, money matters pull at our attention all day long. There’s groceries and medical bills; tuition payments and payments for field trips. Replacing outgrown school clothing, and depleted school supplies.

By now you've probably heard of food prepping. It's a method of performing tedious food prep while you have the extra time so you can reap the benefits when you don't. I've done this quite a bit with freezer cooking and it is a godsend.

When my older daughter was five, we found out she needed her tonsils out.Her huge tonsils were cutting off her airway when she slept, and so we had them out immediately. It was a hard recovery as tonsils always are but I learned some tips and tricks to make it easier.

Following is my book review of It’s Always the Husband. Over the past week I burned through this book, a fun read that’s quite different from other fiction books that I’ve read with a murder (such as John Sanford books, which are focused mostly around the crime, not their lives before and outside of the crime itself). It didn’t jump right into the crime but rather spent about half the book building the story and relationships beforehand.
