Aside from order making, what else have I been doing? Tuesday I picked Angelina up from school, and she and I had a mommy/daughter date. We went to Starbucks and each got a Caramel Frappucino, and then headed to Borders. We had such a great time together!! We are going to make it a weekly thing. Every Tuesday. Since Zoe is in school until 4pm, and Angelina gets out at 2:15, it gives us time just the 2 of us. I feel like times like that are important to do with our children. And, since I don't normally do it enough, I am going to now. We will do different things... mostly indoors things I presume... since it's supposed to be in the high 90's starting Sunday. BOO BOO BOO! ;)
I have a newborn photo shoot tomorrow. I am really really looking forward to it!! Angelina's teacher had her son 3 weeks early. I LOVE newborn babies! :D I am currently knitting something for it... show you when I show you the shots!
I have also been reading. Need some new recommendations? Good, because I've got a lot! ha ha! I have read the following since the last book recommendation post back on March 26th...
Evernight & Stargazer: This was a good series... I am assuming there will be a 3rd book coming out.
Tithe & Ironside: It took me a while to get into the first book, Tithe, but once I did, I *really* liked it. There are 3 books in the series, but the 2nd book had really nothing to do with the other 2, and there was somethings in it, I didn't want to read about. So I skipped it. But, I loved Ironside! :)
Graceling: This book was SOOOO good!!! It's a new favorite.
Wicked Lovely & Ink Exchange: I really like this series so far! This 3rd and last book in the series comes out next Tuesday! :) Can't wait.
Tantalize: This book surprised me. I wasn't sure how it was going to be, but I actually really like it.
Eternal: The cover of this book is very attractive. As far as the book... it was OK. Not horrible, but not great.
I am currently reading The Graveyard Book. Will let you know in a few weeks how I thought it was.
Also... not sure if you noticed. Someone recommended that I go to shelfari.com and get bookcases to put on my blog... have you seen them? One has books I am planning on reading and one has the books I have already read... so you can always see what I recommend or what I am planning to read. They are updated regularly too.
Read any new books lately? Have you read any that I recommended? :D
XOXO,

wow, you are a busy lady. All that activity would tire me out quickly, then again it all sounds like fun!!
I just finished "The Hunger Games" by Suzanne Collins. Very, very good book - couldn't put it down. I first saw it through Stephenie Meyer's site (Twilight author, but I'm sure you knew that!), then I finally picked it up. Great read!
Is this where we leave our names for a chance to win a camera strap sponsored by Scarlet Lime?? I hope so...would love a pretty camera strap. Thanks!
(: I know Angelina must have SO ENJOYED your outing together, what a sweet "tradition" to start with her!
Thanks for the books suggestions - great to hear what's good and not-so-good. :)
at home at the end of the world, is so wonderful.
I just got my SUPER CUTE strap in the mail and I am stoked that it is so CUTE! Can't wait to go out and start shooting with it! I will be back shortly to purchase AT LEAST one of of the newly released straps! Customer Service is EXCELLENT and Shey is SUPER SWEET! Thanks Shey!
Yea with time with Angelina! I think it is a great idea.
The photo shoot sounds great! My sister just had he baby, but being that she is in Georgia, I don't think photos are possible. :-)
Have you read Stephenie Meyer's new book "Host"? I am just finishing the Twilight Series and I have LOVED it, I wish that there was another book to that series. Maybe she will decide to finish "Midnight Sun", which sounds like it would be unbelievably good!
love dates our with kiddos! good for you for taking the time to make it a weekly thing. xoxo
