I read many blogs where families are reading together daily. Children have their own monthly reads as well as the parents. I thought you guys would love to know what I am diving into this month. Yes, I know this is a children's book. What is wrong with reading fun books that are made to give children a proper balance between imagination and life lessons? I have already gotten past chapter one in the first day and I'm captured by the adventurous rabbits. I will follow this up with the sequel, The Black Star, next month. I read Aesop Fables quite often. I love how life's lessons intermingle with animals, nature and people. I believe that I will be able to get similar and unique life lessons from Proverbs.

(Many companies use child and slave labor to manufacture their products.) I was so confused on what to buy so I bought nothing. I let age 30 come and go and I never

I love my husband! I loved him when I said "Yes!" to the ring and "I Do!" at the alter. I would do anything for his health so that he could be with me forever on this big blue green ball. Hubby has been on a gluten free diet for nearly two years. It has been a cooking struggle and pleasure. I have damaged so many brownies, cookies, pancakes and more. But sweet hubby ate them all. Sometimes with a smile and other times not. Such a sweetie. To decrease the amount of gluten free disasters, I try to add in a few prepackaged goods. With that thought it mind, I finally walked into Aldi. I heard that they had a few gluten free items along with cheap meats and canned goods. I am always a little leary with cheap meats because of a not so happy experience a few years ago...I dont want to remember it. Here is my first Aldi Haul! Well check out our small haul. I was able to find gluten free crackers, cookie mix, cornbread and tortilla wraps. We rounded out our groce
