Dirty Books, Happy Faces & Hairstyles
The Power of a Dirty Book
~:: Be Nice or Leave. Thanks. ::~
You know when you pick up a book and then the next in the series and the next and then you wake up and it’s too weeks later? That’s what happened to me when I picked up the rough and ready, incredibly sexy Rough Riders series by Lorelei James. If you like cowboys, muscles, true love and hot rodeo sex you’ll get lost in this erotic series about a family of hardbodied Wyoming cowboys and the women they love. Make sure to leave lots of time for cold showers….

Why the Happy Face?
~:: They Call Me Mummy ::~
Today, someone said to me , “You’re always smiling, always so happy.” She went on to imply that if only she had a life as perfect as mine, she would also be happy all the time. It got me thinking. I really don’t think I have more reasons than the next person to be smiling and happy. Know why? We are all in this life. We all have blessings and we all have terrible burdens.
In fact, if I had to list my burdens, it would be a long and fairly horrible list by most people’s standards. I won’t bore you with a laundry list, but suffice to say it’s not all rainbows and fairy sprinkles 24/7.
ABOUT MICHELLE: When Michelle is not drowning under a mountain of laundry, she writes commercials and yells (gently and encouragingly) at her children. She loves her three little people more than she ever believed was possible. Oh, and her house is not Pinterest-worthy.
