Summer Reading

Although I enjoy reading very much, I find that summertime isn't when I'm the most productive with my reading. I read more in the winter months when I can curl up with a blanket or take a nice bubble bath and enjoy a good book, but I was bound and determined to read one particular book this summer, The Help.


I started it while on vacation last week and quickly found that I couldn't put it down. It was captivating from the start and I didn't want it to end. If you're looking for a good book to finish up your summer reading, I highly recommend The Help. You'll love it.

It's Friday

And I'm nosy...

So here's the question(s):

1) When do the kids in your area start back to school?
2) Do you have kids of your own that will be starting back to school soon?
3) Do you enjoy back to school shopping?

The kids in our area start back to school on August 23rd. Is it just me or does it seem like school starts earlier and earlier each year!? When I was growing up, we didn't start back to school until after Labor Day, but then again we didn't get out for summer vacation as early as they do now either.

I don't have any back to schoolers living at home any more but my college daughter will be starting her senior year in just a few short weeks! Talk about time zooming by!

We don't have any back to schoolers in the neighborhood anymore either. All of the kids have grown up and moved away. We'll be getting new neighbors directly across the street from us very soon and they have small children. I'm so excited!

I always enjoyed back to school shopping with my kids. It was such a fun time. I miss all of the hoopla, excitement, and anticipation that a new school year brings. I may just have to go hang out at the Target back to school section for awhile!
