Mixed Reviews

As books and movies go, I decided to read a book before watching the movie.  I don't watch many movies anyway, so, I guess I've always missed out...  on both ends.

At any rate, my debut, book before the movie was Marley & Me by John Grogan.

I loved the whole thing.  Not sure what to write about since it appears that everyone is writing/talking about it.  Overall this story has gotten rave reviews; however, I have read quite a few that are less than happy about it.  I agree, some of the dog rearing tactics used were not what I would have done and yet some are...

If you don't know anything about the book/movie, it's a man who loves his dog from when he was a child, who meets a woman who also loves her dog from when she was a child.

They get married.

Decide to get a dog of their own.

Life happens.

Are terrible dog owners, but do the best they can.

Start a family.

Make some poor decisions.

Live their lives.

Adore their family.

Adore their dog.

Move cross country.

Loose their beloved dog to old age.

Grieve.

Heal.

Get another dog.

Get better advice on how to be better dog owners.

Life goes on.

Have a great Day!

Luck

By
Although I don't remember it very often and it is something I need to work on, but I love it when I realize how lucky I can get sometimes. A couple of weeks ago I snagged a classic at the library for my little ones. I couldn't resist. It is a classic. Or at least I think it is. Here is the lucky part. The kiddos started school last week and on Friday my son brings home his first homework assignment. He's in Pre -K. Please work with your children on the following sight words. This will help them have a head start in kindergarten. Thank you so much for your cooperation! go at here down and These same words are all throughout this short and sweet board book. Go and See . It's perfect! I hope to find more of these gems.

Booking Through Thursday - Inspired

If you'd like to join in, click here . "Since 'Inspiration' is (or should) the theme this week … what is your reading inspired by?" My response: Easy.  I love to read.  Books.  Magazines. Blogs.  Newspapers.  Reading is such a fundamental skill. I wasn't always like this. I didn't get much of a chance when I was growing up and didn't develop an interest until later in life.  I hated reading assignments in high school and never finished any of the assigned novels.  I'd skim through to get the "jist" of the story and listen to classmates' reviews just so when it came time for me to write my own report or written exam, I'd at least get a passing grade. Now, with three little ones, just as my blog titles states, "Inspiring Book Worms" is what I'm trying to do.  I hope to instill in them what wasn't passed on to me or what I didn't grasp when I was young. Thankfully I love to read now, they see me reading a lot an
