Favorite Friday

Alright....TGIF!!!! Whew. Today marks 4 weeks till D-Day, that is not due date but the date of my c-section. I just wanted people to understand why I was sure she would be born on the 16th of April. I am not delusional and think that when your due date has arrived you will have the baby that day. Looking back at what I just wrote seems a little harsh.....no hurt feelings intended. I am kinda grumpy. Brandon and I are in desperate need of a date night. We have to get out a lot for some one-on-one time, because our marriage needs it. We can really tell when it has been awhile, because we start to bicker A LOT. Have no worry blogosphere we are going out on Saturday. Wow this was not the intended prose for today but then again this is what blogging is all about right?!?

Now what I really wanted to talk about. BOOKS :). Anyone who knows me knows that I like to read ........I mean really really really really like to read. So I thought I would share with you a few favorites and they are all what I am reading right now except my current favorite in fiction . Just some things you might want to know ; I do not re-read books for the most part, I am willing to read just about anything although I prefer fiction and know that I before I got pregnant the fourth time I could keep up with reading about 4 books at a time, that is no longer the case . However , I have worked my way back up to 2.

Favorite Parenting............Love and Logic. I feel this is a great system. Any of their books, Cd's

pod casts and other goodies will serve ANY parent well. I

love it because it encourages getting your child behind the wheel and allowing (safely) their turns of the wheel to affect THEM. It is about loving them enough to allow them to learn that their actions have consequences especially when they are young and the price tags are small. I could go on and on, but other fabulous books await. Oh and this is a continuous read, this is one that I re-read. What are some of your parenting favorites?

Favorite Inspirational..........Captivating and Wild at Heart. The books were authored by John and Stasi Eldredge. These are just two among many . The reason I chose to put these here is because I am reading them right now. I actually have already read Wild at Heart but I am about to finish Captivating. A certain freedom comes with reading them, I was released from sooooo much. What book has changed your life?

Favorite Fiction..........the Twilight Saga. I know I know I know. But really this was some of the best fun I have had reading. The books taught me (hold the laughs) that women really do value emotional intimacy and devotion. And I love that this series promotes abstinence , crazy I know. What books or series have you read that have transported you?

Seriously this list could go on and on and on.......but then it might start to bore you if it has not already. So here it ends.
