Best Bathtub Books

Here's a list (and occasional commentary) on books that will make that well-earned soak in the tub even more relaxing and like a mini-getaway (at least, until you hear your little one calling you over the baby monitor).

  1. Belly Laughs, by Jenny McCarthy - Fabulous read for pregnant mommies, irregardless of whether this is your first or fifth baby. Funny and engaging, this book is definitely entertaining, and gives a sneak-peak into what it's like to be pregnant and a celebrity.
  2. Water for Elephants, by Sara Gruen - A wonderful fiction novel about an elderly man who, as he nears the end of his life, remembers back to his days working for a circus. He is a trained veterinarian who leaves school before taking his final exams, choosing instead to join the circus. He becomes their animal doc and the story chronicles his adventures under the big top.

The times they are a-changin
It's been about 10 months since I last "blogged" here.
A lot has changed.
My daughter was born in February and is now almost 7 months old.
My son, 2, now talks in sentences and says things like "I have no idea," "Mama more grape juice please."
I taught a criminal justice class at Sac State and gained a newfound appreciation for college professors everywhere.
I lost all my baby weight. Plus joined Weight Watchers and have lost almost 19 pounds and am now back to my pre-wedding size. Woo hoo. Thirty pounds to go ....

Some things, however, remain the same.
I still adore my husband, now moreso than ever. Am I alone in this sentiment (which I hope I am not) or does it seem that your love for your husband grows exponentially each time your family expands? Seeing the way he plays with and loves our kids makes my heart feel like it's going to burst. I always knew he'd be a good dad, but he's exceptional. And both our kids are over the moon for him. I swear it's like idol worship when he comes in from work each day.

I still love to cook and bake. I've also made friends with my crockpot. What a fabulous invention.
I can't wait for it to get cooler so I can really start using it more often.
Still work at the Bee, and love my job.

I'll try to start posting again soon. This blog has been a great outlet in the past, and a hobby that I hope to keep up in the future.
