Southern Mama of Two

Happy Tuesday! I thought I would throw a funny out there since we are under a tropical storm warning! Seriously ya'll pray for Mississippi and Louisiana as we prepare for TS Gordon to make landfall tonight/early tomorrow.    Friday night after I dropped the girls off at their father's house I went back to the shop and boiled peanuts with Walt. We ended up calling it an early night since we had to get up early Saturday. Saturday morning we were up at 5:30 for the morning dove hunt. Ya'll I think I shot a full box of shells and only killed one dove! (insert laughter!!) My shoulder is still sore from shooting that 12 gauge so much.   I left the dove hunt a little early so I could go get my hair cut. About a month ago I had my hair cut and colored, but I just wanted a little more cut off. I am so happy I decided to do that!   I came home and watched a little bit of the Ole Miss game. Then I went to a wedding shower for a co worker Saturday afternoon....

We are half way through the week, yay! I'm looking forward to the weekend because we are taking my girls to their first concert!! I'll post more on that Friday, but today I wanted to share my reads for July. I try really hard to find time to read, and was able to get 2 books in this month. If you have any book recommendations feel free to share!     "One minute, Tegan Lawson has everything she could hope for: an adoring husband, Gabe, and a baby on the way. The next, a patch of black ice causes a devastating accident that will change her life in ways she never could have imagined. Tegan is consumed by grief–not to mention her anger toward Gabe, who was driving on the night of the crash. But just when she thinks she's hit rock bottom, Gabe reminds her of their Jar of Spontaneity, a collection of their dream destinations and experiences, and so begins an adventure of a lifetime. From the bustling markets of Thailand to the flavours of Italy to the ocean waves ...

   In this tightly wound, enthralling story reminiscent of Agatha Christie’s works, Lo Blacklock, a journalist who writes for a travel magazine, has just been given the assignment of a lifetime: a week on a luxury cruise with only a handful of cabins. The sky is clear, the waters calm, and the veneered, select guests jovial as the exclusive cruise ship, the Aurora, begins her voyage in the picturesque North Sea. At first, Lo’s stay is nothing but pleasant: the cabins are plush, the dinner parties are sparkling, and the guests are elegant. But as the week wears on, frigid winds whip the deck, gray skies fall, and Lo witnesses what she can only describe as a dark and terrifying nightmare: a woman being thrown overboard. The problem? All passengers remain accounted for—and so, the ship sails on as if nothing has happened, despite Lo’s desperate attempts to convey that something (or someone) has gone terribly, terribly wrong… It took me a little while to get into this book, bu...
