In going through my shelves this week, I found two copies of No Place Like Here by Christina June. I must have received two copies when I did an Instagram post earlier this summer. This isn’t a scary book — no tricks, just a treat!

My husband frequently teases me about my tendency to hoard books. He tells me that he’s scared I’ll be buried in a bookalanche someday. Hardy har har.

There’s no doubt that loving a child changes a woman. Losing a child is devastating to a woman. The book Mother Knows Best gets the reader stuck in the limbo of loving and losing,

Now that it’s fall break and I have a few minutes of extra time, I plan to go through our house and try to clear out some clutter. We have a plethora of plastic containers from various food sources, but only a few BPA-free containers with matching lids. We’ve been cooking at home almost every day for the past two months, so we’re really in need of containers to store leftovers. It seemed like a good time to make the switch to glass containers. I ended up purchasing this set from Amazon.

It’s hard to believe that it’s already mid-October! This year seems to be flying by. We’re on fall break this week, and my son is looking forward to playing some video games. He always loved the Sonic cartoon, so the Sonic Boom game is the best of both worlds.

My husband has suffered from sciatica pain for as long as we’ve been married. His years of athletic abuse — football, wrestling, and baseball — took their toll on his back, hips, knees, and ankles. For my part, pregnancy and gravity impacted my joints’ happiness. So when given the chance to try this compression brace, I figured it couldn’t hurt worse than we already did!

I loved Ashley Elston’s book The Lying Woods, and could not volunteer quick enough for 10 Blind Dates! I just know that my daughter will steal it from me want to read it over fall break, so I took a quick skim through it for the purposes of this review.

No one else in the world seems to remember The Electric Grandmother, one of my favorite 1980s movies. I’ve asked many of my friends; none of them have seen it. The grandma in the movie was a robotic woman who could shoot chocolate milk out of her index finger. How awesome is that?!

So the entire time I was reading The Perfect Wife, I kept thinking that Abbie (or her bot version) was the 21st century version of The Electric Grandmother.

With cute illustrations and humorous text, Bruce’s Big Storm will be a hit with kids! Bruce is pictured as a grumpy bear — complete with fussy-looking unibrow — and he doesn’t want to be bothered with neighbors. Kids love the type of story that has a grain of truth, pokes a little fun, and exaggerates reality. Bruce is sure to bring a smile to little faces.
