May Book Club

First off, thanks for hosting Liz! It was so nice to sit around your table chit chatting and eating!! And of course always good to see Lexi and Jasper.

We have been talking about Signs of Life for awhile now, so it was nice to discuss the book. Natalie is such an inspiration and everyone should read this book! If you know Natalie or not you will have a way to relate to this book in one way or another. Thanks Natalie for writing a book like this, that is so honest!

Last nights topics included: dogs & cats (lots of pet talk), in-laws, weekend plans, crossfit, when the pizza man knows you, purple shampoo, women in the working world and actually the book a lot. We discussed the characters and other general topics from our own lives that relate back to Signs of Life.

And the best quote, it could be an all-time best quote:

"I secretly hope that someday when I am pregnant that it will be Cassie inside me." (hand motion included)


Up next...The Hunger Games at Rachel's new pad!

Small world

As much as Facebook drives everyone crazy, when stuff like this happens you gotta love it. Or maybe just love to hate it.

A Royal Book Club

Sorry the RBTW readers...this post is very late but I promise it will be worth the long wait!! I can't remember what we talked about at April BC, and I didn't really remember the next day either. Note to self: sisters should not start gossiping after their friends leave, it makes for a very late night, especially on a school night!


Thanks for hosting April Book Club Katie, it was such a fun night!

We should have planned better and taken Friday off from work because everyone wanted to stay up and watch The Royal Wedding of William & Catherine.

Only two people who attended read the book, not our best month. Oh well...we still had LOTS to catch up on like the Royal Family, Kate, Wills, Queen Elizabeth, Prince Philip, Harry, Diana, Pippa, Charles, Camilla, and everyone in-between. If you didn't know much about the Royal Family you got most of your answers questioned at this Book Club, we pretty much talked about the Royals the entire time. And some of us only slept a few hours so we could wake up at 3am to watch the wedding live. We learned some interesting facts about the Royals!! There weren't a ton of other topics...maybe some boyfriend talk and hair removal, ya know the usual but other then that it was all Royal Wedding!

It truly was a Royal Affair..........


A big thanks to Alexis for this pic!!
