recharge

I have always believed that, if you really want to do something, you will find the time to do it.

Whether it is blogging, couponing, exercising, reading...whatever it is. If you want to do it, you will find the time or the way.

Mason often takes my Kindle because it is "his". Makes it hard to read the books I have downloaded!

I come from a long line of readers. I have always loved a good book and getting into a story. Basically joining a new and different world for just a little while.

I have a pile of half read books that just keeps getting bigger and bigger. One morning I was perusing my sisters book blog Bloggin' Bout Books on the hunt for a new book. I came across this review but actually read a book, by the same author that she shared a link too, called In the Woods.

** I don't review books because well, I am not that talented. If you want to read her review, you can find it on her page. Along with hundreds of awesome book reviews!**

I downloaded it on my Kindle and then...let it sit. I had a mile long to do list and "just.didn't.have.time." Well, guess what?

I started it...and couldn't put it down. I had plans to get so many things done with my day off. But I read. And read. And read.

I enjoyed that chance to just sit and do nothing and recharge with a good book.

Of course, it is now back to reality but...for one day, it was a nice break!

WFMW-summer reading

Have you signed your kids up for a variety of summer reading programs? Well I have. However, my kids are having a hard time sitting down and reading when tv & video games are calling to them.

They all LOVE to read, but they would rather read in their beds in the evening. So, to break them away from the tv, we have started DEAR time.

DEAR stands for Drop Everything And Read! Before any video games are allowed, they have to do at least 30 min. of reading.

It has been a nice break from the electronics.

Of course all their morning jobs are done too! (:

That's what works for me! (:
