Just in case you weren't too sure, yes, this book is from the library. One that I need to go checkout again in months and then again in months after that. It had a list of milestones for different age groups, up to age three, and a lot of actual useful information. This was not my typical 'baby book'. It related to the senses, they count seven, and how they are each affected. Huge awareness for parents that don't pay attention to their baby's cues. Like it. Get it. Read it.

My awesome and generous friend Nadia sent us a little love package a couple weeks ago. In it, there was this book that she bought in London on her way back home. Now, I don't know about anyone else out there but I am definitely not the one that likes sharing books. My precious books are my secret babies. The couple of times that I have lent them out, well, usually they find their way back but there's a couple of individuals that have just kept them. Welcome to knowing about the secret bad list.

Anyway, this book was good. I enjoyed it and would recommend. It's about a group of girlfriends and where life takes them after college. New jobs, relationships, weddings, kids, life.

#just read: the other side of the story

This story is by Miranda Keyes and I found it at a thrift shop a couple weeks ago. I'm surprised that I've been able to finish it within a couple weeks of the last book I read. I mainly read it during feedings, which have been loooong. Overall, I liked it and probably would retread it again time from now. But, lets admit, I probably won't.

Jojo Harvey is a book agent that is having an affair with her boss. She was brought up completely against this and struggles with the guilt throughout the book. Then, there's Lily Wright. The girl who took her best friends ex-boyfriend, had a child with, and is completely in love with. She is so paranoid that she'll be punished with bad karma and is just waiting for all hell to break loose. Lastly, there's Gemma Hogan, the one who got her ex-boyfriend picked up by Lily. Her dad unexpectedly walks out on her mom after thirty-five years of marriage. Her life comes to a halt when her mom nearly looses her marbles with the thought of being alone.

The other day when we went thrifting, I found this book. I stayed up a couple nights after the boys slept to read through it. Okay, I read on car rides and during the day too, but I finished it just a couple nights ago.

The story was about three different women and how they're all connected by one man. The first, Laura, a single mama who practices law and will do just about anything for her son, including asking for more "man juice" from her original sperm donor. The second, Wendy, a mama of twins who is about to lose her marbles and the difficulties in her marriage due to IUI and IVF insemination. And lastly, Vanessa. The one who has been dating the donor, without her knowing he donated years before.

Overall, I liked it. My favorite line from here has stuck to me aside from the many other things said:

"Without us, there is no family."
