My Thoughts

These aren’t really sit down and read types of books. These are the books you pick up when you are looking for something specific. A quote to make someone laugh from Girlfriends Forever, a great recipe from Lazy Gourmet or a tip on how to clean a stubborn stain from Lemons and Lavender. The Use Your Words book would be a great resource if your a blogger or just want to write about your family and life as a keepsake for your children. The cover art on each book is unique and really fits the titles. These would make great gifts for someone or for yourself to keep on your book shelf. Really nice books to have on hand for any size or type of household 🙂
