Two book in three days
I wish I could be one of those girls that is always reading a book. I could have button for it on my blog "Ask me what I'm reading!" But I can't. Why? This Christmas vacation I read two books in three days. Really it was almost two books in two days, but I didn't quite finish the second before bed. I think I had two chapters left. When I read a book I don't do anything else. I don't shower, clean, cook, or take care of my child. I just can't exist like that!

I love how relateable Mindy is. Like I could have been friends with her in middle school, that time of life when true friends are so hard to come by. And she's so funny!
This was an incredibly interesting book. I never thought about all the factors that go into making someone a success. And of course as a parent there are things you can do to contribute to your child's success. I'm just wondering, where is the balance? Should I let my kids be children and play and use their imagination? Or should I teach them how to work 350 days a year (like the final chapters of the book suggest.)? Just some food for thought.

Kelly wrote a book? Oh gosh I have to read it! Baby yet? ;)
ReplyDeleteYou can come down and borrow it from me! You'll love it. No baby yet, but since I just got the FLU probably a good thing. Ug, this has been the worst month ever.
DeleteHaven't read either book, but definitely believe in letting kids be kids, but throwing in a couple of chores in the morning. Sharon and I used to talk about that all the time--kids being allowed to just play and use their imaginations and not being overbooked!
