I started this blog with one daughter, kept it up with the other, to spend time together doing something we enjoyed.
However, things change and people evolve. My daughters are older, busier, and not as interested in writing.
From now on this blog will be mostly mom with occasional contributions from my daughters and maybe even my husband.
Nothing else will change. We'll still focus on sharing fun places to go, fun things to do, and more, and we would  still love to hear your views too

Giveaway: Win a copy of A Woman's Persuasion in the Super Stocking Stuffer Giveaway Hop

 

  Welcome to the Super Stocking Stuffer Giveaway  Hop

hosted by The Kids Did It and The Mommy Island

If you enjoy books that retell classic stories in a more modern way, you may enjoy Jeannette Watts' book, A Women's Persuasion. This book is an updated version of Jane Austen's Persuasion  In this version, the two main characters are both women. 

Here the pair met in college. Due to pressure from her family and worry that a relationship with Freddie would adversely affect Freddie's military career, Anne broke it off with her. None of this is a spoiler since it all takes place before the beginning of the book. The book takes place when they run into each other again years later. Anne has never really gotten over Freddie, but it doesn't seem as though Freddie feels the same way. Thus, picking up where they left off doesn't seem likely, but they still keep running into each other. 

The book is sweet and feels old-fashioned even though it is set in the current day. There is plenty of romance not just that between Anne and Freddie although a lot of the romance takes place off the page. It is short and sweet and quick to read.
