<b>It seems like people have either loved or hated this book, although I fall right in the middle. It was an enjoyable read but what really grabbed me was the charters. The characters really came to life for me.</b><br />

A charming, warmhearted novel from the author of the<i> New York Times</i> bestseller<i> A Man Called Ove.</i><br />
Elsa
is seven years old and different. Her grandmother is seventy-seven
years old and crazy—as in
standing-on-the-balcony-firing-paintball-guns-at-strangers crazy. She is
also Elsa’s best, and only, friend. At night Elsa takes refuge in her
grandmother’s stories, in the Land-of-Almost-Awake and the Kingdom of
Miamas, where everybody is different and nobody needs to be normal.<br />
When
Elsa’s grandmother dies and leaves behind a series of letters
apologizing to people she has wronged, Elsa’s greatest adventure begins.
Her grandmother’s instructions lead her to an apartment building full
of drunks, monsters, attack dogs, and old crones but also to the truth
about fairy tales and kingdoms and a grandmother like no other.<br />

<b>I really loved this book and love the way Backman tells a story. This book is endearing, funny, sad and even a bit strange. the characters in the book are well written. The only thing I didn't like about the book was the stories within the story, there were too many but I loved the book in-spite of that. </b><br />

J. Fikry's life is not at all what he expected it to be. His wife has
died; his bookstore is experiencing the worst sales in its history; and
now his prized possession, a rare collection of Poe poems, has been
stolen. Slowly but surely, he is isolating himself from all the people
of Alice Island—from Chief Lambiase, the well-intentioned police officer
who's always felt kindly toward him; from Ismay, his sister-in-law, who
is hell-bent on saving A.J. from his dreary self; from Amelia, the
lovely and idealistic (if eccentric) Knightley Press sales rep who
persists in taking the ferry to Alice Island, refusing to be deterred by
A.J.'s bad attitude. Even the books in his store have stopped holding
pleasure for him. These days, he can only see them as a sign of a world
that is changing too rapidly.<br /><br />And then a mysterious package
appears at the bookstore. It's a small package, though large in
weight—an unexpected arrival that gives A.J. the opportunity to make his
life over, the ability to see everything anew. It doesn't take long for
the locals to notice the change overcoming A.J., for the determined
sales rep Amelia to see her curmudgeonly client in a new light, for the
wisdom of all those books to become again the lifeblood of A.J.'s world.
Or for everything to twist again into a version of his life that he
didn't see coming.</span><br />

The Bonneville Salt Flats (for those that don't know) are found west of The Great Salt Lake in Western Utah, covering over 30,000 acres. The Salt Flats were formed when the ancient lake Lake Bonneville dried up leaving behind all of that salt. <br />

A few things to keep in mind when visiting the Salt Flats.<br />
<br />
-The best time to visit the Salt Flats is in late summer when there is no water on the flats. You do not want to get stuck.<br />
-Bring sunglasses it is incredibly bright.<br />
-Wear sunscreen.<br />
-Bring lots of water.<br />
-Salt will get everywhere so plan to wash your car after your visit.<br />
<br />

We brought some things to keep the kids entertained. The kids loved driving their remote control cars and Power Wheels truck in the wide open space. Of course the kite was really fun and they even tried throwing salt balls at each other. I shut that down fast. Ha! <br />
<br />
If bringing kids I would also recommend bringing bandages. Sammy tripped and scrapped up her leg pretty bad. The salt is rough and stung her scrapes.<br />

Our family went digging for fossils, yes real fossils. It was seriously so cool!<br />

<a href="http://www.fossilsafari.com/">Fossil Safari at Warfield Fossil Quarry</a> in Wyoming was so amazing! They provide all the tools and teach you everything you need to know. <br />

All you need to do is pack water, food, sunglasses, sunscreen, packing materials to bring your fossils home safely and gloves. Also a hat, it is really easy to get sunburned there. You travel quite a way on a dirt road so make sure you have a full tank of gas. Fossil Safari does have an outhouse available.<br />

When we first arrived at the quarry we were given our tools and then we were given a tutorial on what to do. Sammy and Sadie liked watching for awhile and then got bored since they were a little too young to be using a hammer and chisel. Travis and Brody could have spent the whole day there but we only stayed for an hour. In that hour we came home with over a dozen fossils.<br />

<br />
Tip: keep your fossils upright instead of laying them flat. This will help keep them safe of the drive. Place towels or newspaper between them so they don't bump together. Bringing a large box to place them in helps.<br />

<br />
<br />
My kids love doing little crafts for the holidays but I don't have the time to search all over for ideas and supplies. I love that Oriental Trading Company has <a href="http://www.orientaltrading.com/holidays/christmas/christmas-craft-and-hobby-supplies-a1-550936.fltr">Christmas craft kits</a> all ready and assembled. It makes life easier on me and my kids get to do little crafting projects that they love.<br />
<br />
This year we have loved assembling these little felt mice candy cane kits.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

And another favorite of my kids are the foam gingerbread houses. They spent so much time decorating their houses and then loved displaying them in their bedrooms.<br />

<br />
<br />
This Thanksgiving I am reflecting on a few of the things I am thankful for in my life.<br />
<br />
-My loving and supportive husband. I am even thankful for some of the hardships we have gone through because they have made us stronger and let us lean on one another.<br />
<br />
- My children. They give me (and let me give them) unconditional love and teach me pure love, forgiveness, and patience. Being a mom has taught me so much about the important things in life.<br />
<br />
-Good health.<br />
<br />
-Faith.<br />
<br />
-Family and friends. There have been many friends and family members in my life who have shown my family so much love and support through the years.<br />
<br />
<br />
Happy Thanksgiving! <br />

<b>Love Warrior by Glennon Doyle Melton</b><br />

Melton was beginning to feel she had it all figured out—three happy
children, a doting spouse, and a writing career so successful that her
first book catapulted to the top of the New York Times bestseller
list—her husband revealed his infidelity and she was forced to realize
that nothing was as it seemed. A recovering alcoholic and bulimic,
Glennon found that rock bottom was a familiar place. In the midst of
crisis, she knew to hold on to what she discovered in recovery: that her
deepest pain has always held within it an invitation to a richer life.</span><br />
<span id="freeText15860434336125960797"><i>Love Warrio</i>r is an inspiring account of how we are born to be warriors:
strong, powerful, and brave; able to confront the pain and claim the

more abundant, authentic life.</span><br />

Younger, bolder Isabelle lives in Paris while Vianne is content with

daughter. But when the Second World War strikes, Antoine is sent off to
fight and Vianne finds herself isolated so Isabelle is sent by their
father to help her. <br /><br />As the war progresses, the sisters'
relationship and strength are tested. With life changing in unbelievably
horrific ways, Vianne and Isabelle will find themselves facing
frightening situations and responding in ways they never thought
possible as bravery and resistance take different forms in each of their
actions.</span><br />

<b>The Devlin Diary by Christi Phillips</b><br />
<span id="freeText3656519365714496004">
London, 1672. The past twelve years have
brought momentous changes: the restoration of the monarchy, a
devastating plague and fire. Yet the city remains a teeming, thriving
metropolis, energized by the lusty decadence of Charles II's court and
burgeoning scientific inquiry. Although women enjoy greater freedom,
they are not allowed to practice medicine, a restriction that physician
Hannah Devlin evades by treating patients that most other doctors shun:
the city's poor. <br />
But Hannah has a special knowledge that
Secretary of State Lord Arlington desperately needs. At the king's
Machiavellian court, Hannah attracts the attention of two men, charming
courtier Ralph Montagu and anatomist Dr. Edward Strathern, as well as
the attention of the powerful College of Physicians, which views her
work as criminal. When two influential courtiers are found brutally
murdered, their bodies inscribed with arcane symbols, Hannah is drawn
into a dangerous investigation by Dr. Strathern, who believes the
murders conceal a far-reaching conspiracy that may include Hannah's late
father and the king himself.<br />

Hide-a-boo Hideouts are here to <a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1565026833/hide-a-boo-hideouts">encourage play</a> for all kids. Hideouts
are forts that slip over a card table for easy set-up and are a home
base for adventure. Created with a puppet backdrop on one side and on
top, an aerial view map that's also a play mat. Hideouts are incredibly
versatile, giving kids endless opportunities for creative and
imagination inspired play.<br />

Here is the quick, easy way to make ribs according to my husband (Trav the Butcher). He thinks this is the best way to make them.<br />
<br />
First season your ribs using your favorite rub. <br />

choosing what materials to use, or what colors to paint a room, invite your
child’s input. Beforehand, let them know they are participating in a group
decision, and you want everyone to make a vote. Helping to decide what will go

DIY renovations can be fun, cost effective and very rewarding. For your DIY
projects, give the kids some items that are safe for them, in a safe space, to
allow them to feel what it’s like to use their hands, get dirty, and have some
construction fun. Check out </span><a href="http://www.whateverdeedeewants.com/p/tutorials.html"><span style="color: #499bc9; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-themecolor: accent1; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">this resource</span></a><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> for more fun

<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Children
learn from every experience they encounter. Take advantage of this process for
them to learn about tools and the rewards from a job well done. Let them find
their plastic toy hammer, and hand them an extra plank of wood. Let them smash,
pound and be loud! Give them a paintbrush and some paint and let them paint on
the wood at a safe distance while you work. Talk to them about what you’re
doing and why. Let them put on safety goggles, put on work boots and, even get
them an apron to be a part of the home construction project. </span></div>

<div class="Body">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Whether
you are going away for a period of time or have extra rooms in your home,
renting a room is an amazing way to earn some extra money and build home value.
Get the children involved by having them be the breakfast ‘cookers’ of the
home. Guests love breakfast, especially free breakfast, and including your kids
is a perfect way to keep the money flowing in. </span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="Body">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">While
I love this tip, it is important to make sure you know how to find the best
renters. Especially with a family, it is important to know who is going to live
in your home. Airbnb, HomeAway and Craigslist are good places to start.
However, when trying to find out more information about a renter, there are
great resources out there, like </span><a href="https://www.mysmartmove.com/SmartMove/landlord-credit-check.page"><span style="color: #499bc9; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-themecolor: accent1; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">this one</span></a><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">, that keep all

the renovations are outside or inside, offset some improvement costs by
starting up a community or private garden. It’s an excellent way to save money

home value builder! </span></div>

for the family for a whole summer, or even through a winter, at a fraction of
the cost of regularly purchased grocery produce. One bag of potatoes, can cost
anywhere from $2-$5 dollars, but a few potatoes planted in the garden will make
more potatoes for years to come. Include carrots, tomatoes, cucumbers, squash,
beans, spinach, lettuce and beets, and you have an array of healthy foods for
the initial cost of just the seeds some dirt, and a few hours or family fun. <span style="mso-text-raise: -1.0pt; position: relative; top: 1.0pt;"></span></span></div>

Ready for another installment of Disneyland food you have to try?<br />
<br />
You HAVE to try the Churro Funnel Cake from <a href="https://disneyland.disney.go.com/dining/disneyland/hungry-bear-restaurant/">Hungry Bear Restaurant</a>. It is one of my all time favorite treats at Disneyland. You can thank me later.<br />
Hungry Bear Restaurant will have seasonal funnel cake flavors so this isn't always available.<br />

The Creamy Corn Chowder (served in a bread bowl) from the <a href="https://disneyland.disney.go.com/dining/disneyland/french-market-restaurant/">French Market Restaurant</a> was delicious! Perfect for those colder Disneyland nights.<br />

People always talk about the Mint Juleps at the <a href="https://disneyland.disney.go.com/dining/disneyland/mint-julep-bar/">Mint Julep Bar</a>. They are pretty good and worth trying at least once so I had to include them. Of course if you are like me you would prefer something sweeter, but definitely worth trying.<br />

Teaching your child how to ride a bike is one of the
traditional joys of parenting. Family bike rides are a great way to bond and
spend time with each other. However, there are also many risks involved when
kids ride bikes. Children and young adults are involved in over half of the
most serious bike accidents across the country. Child bike safety is extremely
important.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
What are the most important and effective parts of child
bike safety? As <a href="https://christensenhymas.com/bicycle-accidents/">Utah’s
Bicycle Accident Lawyers</a>, we understand what kinds of mistakes lead to the
most accidents. Here are some of our tips on keeping your kids safe while
riding:</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
It is impossible to overstate the importance of wearing a
helmet. Children and adults should wear a Consumer Product Safety
Commission-approved helmet every time they ride a bike. You can know if your
child is wearing an approved helmet by checking for a sticker on the inside of
the helmet.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In addition, make sure that your <a href="http://www.xsportsprotective.com/pages/kids-helmet-sizing-help">child’s
helmet fits</a> and is fastened properly before they take off.</div>

</span></span></span><b><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Wear the
right clothes</i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ill-fitting clothing can result in bike accidents. A key
aspect of child bike safety is ensuring that no loose pants or untied shoelaces
will be tangled up in the bike chain while they ride.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Proper shoes are also very important. Closed-toe shoes like
sneakers with gripping soles will help your child’s feet stay on the pedals.</div>

big can play a big role in their safety. <a href="http://kidshealth.org/en/kids/bike-safety.html">Experts suggest</a>
testing their bike’s size by comparing it to their height. Your child should
stand straddling their bike’s top bar. There should be about 1 to 3 inches of
open space between your child and the bar. </div>

Flat tires and faulty brakes can make it difficult and even

are both fixable problems. You should consistently keep up with the brakes and

With Sammy and Sadie starting preschool this week I have realized how fast time with my little ones is flying by. My girls are not the easiest, in fact they can be down right hard most of the time and taking them out and about is no easy feat, but I have decided that I want to do more with them. Today we ventured out to the zoo and had a great time! Here is to more adventures with my kids!<br />

<br />
Because of Sadie and Sammy's speech delay, our school district placed them in an early 3 preschool class where they can get the speech therapy they need. Today was the first day. <br />
Dealing with the girls speech problems has been tiring to say the least. Lots and lots of testing, therapy sessions, working with the girls, etc but the hardest part of all of it has been the frustrations and tantrums because we just have not been able to understand them and what they are trying to say to us. The terrible twos are hard enough without having twins but imagine having the terrible twos with twins who are frustrated because their mom and dad can't understand them. Let's just say I pray for patience on a daily basis. Ha! <br />

<b><i>The Night Circus</i> by Erin Morgenstern </b><br />
The circus arrives without warning. No announcements precede it. It
is simply there, when yesterday it was not. Within the black-and-white
striped canvas tents is an utterly unique experience full of
breathtaking amazements. It is called <i>Le Cirque des Rêves</i>, and it is only open at night. But behind the scenes, a fierce competition is underway.<br />
<br />
I enjoyed reading this book. A very imaginative story that had me right from the beginning. Morgenstern is a great storyteller! <br />

<b><i>Thirteen Reasons Why</i> by Jay Asher</b><br />
Two weeks before the events of this book, young Hannah Baker killed
herself, but she left behind a sort of audio will that explained her
reasons for taking her life. Each of those thirteen reasons involves
cruel acts, misunderstandings, or guilty acts of omission that involve
other students.<br />
<br />
I don't want to say that I like this book because it about suicide, however I couldn't get this book out of my mind and found myself drawn to the characters. I liked the writing style and the message it sends.<br />

<b><i>All the Light we Cannot See</i> by Anthony Doerr</b><br />
Marie-Laure lives with her father in Paris near the Museum of Natural
History, where he works as the master of its thousands of locks. When
she is six, Marie-Laure goes blind and her father builds a perfect
miniature of their neighborhood so she can memorize it by touch and
navigate her way home. When she is twelve, the Nazis occupy Paris and
father and daughter flee to the walled citadel of Saint-Malo, where
Marie-Laure’s reclusive great-uncle lives in a tall house by the sea.
With them they carry what might be the museum’s most valuable and
dangerous jewel.<br />
In a mining town in Germany, the orphan Werner
grows up with his younger sister, enchanted by a crude radio they find.
Werner becomes an expert at building and fixing these crucial new
instruments, a talent that wins him a place at a brutal academy for
Hitler Youth, then a special assignment to track the resistance. More
and more aware of the human cost of his intelligence, Werner travels
through the heart of the war and, finally, into Saint-Malo, where his
story and Marie-Laure’s converge.<br />
<br />
Of course anything during World War 2 always catches my interest so I had to read this. It is a great book! It took me a few dozen pages to get into this book but once I did, I fell in love with the characters. Very beautifully written.<br />

A few years ago I learned how to make this delicious Baked Reuben Braid using <a href="http://www.rhodesbread.com/blog/">Rhodes Rolls</a>. It is seriously so tasty and quite simple to make. Just one can feed a small family. I am going to show you how o make them today. I hope you try and make one, you won't regret it. <br /><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfPBf3FcercJvxpDZ99cbv7IvgZrh4B933uxHR7qwR4oJC8O23hgnz4kdFCUeb-yIxysDy9aPur5m8JhaW5ZBDTiyvRgM7g51vYjYr55g9NOioF3oXqvblxB_yc_aumzX-j-Z2qiW08c7z/s1600/reuben+braid+ingredients+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="496" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfPBf3FcercJvxpDZ99cbv7IvgZrh4B933uxHR7qwR4oJC8O23hgnz4kdFCUeb-yIxysDy9aPur5m8JhaW5ZBDTiyvRgM7g51vYjYr55g9NOioF3oXqvblxB_yc_aumzX-j-Z2qiW08c7z/s600/reuben+braid+ingredients+1.jpg" width="600" /></a></div>
<br />
Ingredients:<br />
1 loaf Rhodes Bread Dough or 12 Rhodes Dinner Rolls, thawed to room temperature<br />
1/3 cup light Italian cheese salad dressing<br />
1/2 pound thinly sliced turkey pastrami<br />
8 slices Swiss cheese<br />
2 cups sauerkraut, drained<br />
1 egg white, beaten<br />
2 tablespoons caraway seeds<br />
<br />
To start out, you will need to spray your counter lightly with non-stick cooking spray. Roll your dough into a 12 x 16 inch rectangle. Cover with plastic wrap and let rest for 10 to 15 minutes.<br />
<br />
Next you will remove the plastic wrap from dough and make cuts 4 inches long and 1 1/2 inches apart on the long sides of your dough.<br />
<br />
Tip: if your strips are too thin the braid can leak. Use a ruler if you need to. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIdXcSCwsBMi_J2gEFjVBlDLxVvamjeFufdhcTNrEJzfzS1jrer8vxkV1PzQgzPRRp5K_cF0DFOy2eVI682CJtt_Wz_P4HAIo4_pW6qnAliZ3v9RnFCjUgc5GkaJfby1QM8pHskkfGT9hk/s1600/DSC_0052-.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="339" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIdXcSCwsBMi_J2gEFjVBlDLxVvamjeFufdhcTNrEJzfzS1jrer8vxkV1PzQgzPRRp5K_cF0DFOy2eVI682CJtt_Wz_P4HAIo4_pW6qnAliZ3v9RnFCjUgc5GkaJfby1QM8pHskkfGT9hk/s600/DSC_0052-.jpg" width="600" /></a></div>
<br />
Pour the dressing lengthwise in a 4 inch strip down the middle of the dough. Top with pastrami, Swiss cheese and then sauerkraut.<br />
<br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
Tip: make sure to drain your sauerkraut really well. I even used paper towel to help remove some of the juices. Let the paper towel soak up the extra juices.<br />
<br />

<br />
Start braiding by folding the top and bottom strips toward filling. Next braid strips left over right, right over left. Finish by pulling the last strip over and tucking under braid. <br />
<br />
Tip: make sure the end of the strips stay tucked in so they don't lift while baking.<br />
<br />
Lift braid with both hands and place on a large sprayed baking sheet. Brush with egg white and sprinkle with caraway seeds.<br />
Bake at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown. Cool slightly and slice to serve.<br />
Enjoy! <br />

Hi! It's time for a massive giveaway brought to you by Angie from <a href="http://www.mysocalledchaos.com/" target="blank">My So-Called Chaos</a>, myself, and a few other fabulous bloggers who've joined us this month. For the prize this month, Angie has chosen to give one lucky winner an iPad Mini and a Kate Spade Cedar Street Keyboard Folio. Before we get down to the prize, the prize sponsors have been asked to share what their favorite app is on their mobile device, and why. I love this question because it gives us an idea of what apps or social networks to pay attention to, as well as recommendations we should try for ourselves!
<br />
