I know three families heading to Alaska for summer cruises this year. I’m personally a warm weather vacation kind of gal and have never even considered wanting to go to Alaska….until now.

My good friend is a recovering alcoholic. She’s been sober for a few years but rarely talks about it and I don’t think many people know her story. We live in a community where many social situations revolve around alcohol (moms wine nights, happy hours at the pool, etc.). I notice that she tends to decline social situations, particularly the ones that involve alcohol. … Read More »

Plus, I’m the same age as one of the central characters (Maddie) and I just adore her. … Read More »

My friend Annemarie suggested this book to me. When I noticed it was listed on Amazon as “the #1 ebook bestseller” I figured it was worth a go. I literally read this book on the beach in Destin last week in one sitting. Maybe that’s why my neck hurts this week? Was it worth the neck pain? … Read More »
