So this week there were 2 prompts for the Writers Workshop that I wanted to write about so I am going to write about one today and then the other one tomorrow. It is about half way through the month of May and thought that it would be fun to write a May bucket list and then check back in at the end of the month and let people know what I got done during the month.
I also wanted to do this because lately I feel like I am not getting anything done anymore. It feels like I am always starting things but that I never really get to finish any of them because I have so much going on so my I thought this would be a good way to see what I actually completed in May.
May Bucket List
Finish reading 4 books.
Post at least 5 times a week on this blog
Write reviews on books the day I finish the book
Don’t wait til the last minute to read books that I know have to review the next week or the next day even
Figure out what I am going to do with designs for this blog and also for my design site
Change the sheets on my bed every week
Don’t shop online and/or buy any more app’s for my phone
Start saving for a laptop
Drink more water
Don’t eat fast food more than once a week
Have all my blog posts set and read to post the day before they need to be posted
Those are the only things I can think of that I would like to finish this month. I will let you know how well I do at the end of month!

This is a question that was on Band Back Together site a few weeks ago and I am just getting around to writing the post about it. The question is what is the most important thing in my life. This was something that was easy for me to answer because I know without a doubt that the most important things to me are my two cats.
I could live without pretty much everything else but I don’t know how I would live without my two girls. It is crazy to me how much my two cats have become like my kids and are “replacement” kids for my daughter I placed for adoption. I am not sure people who haven’t placed a child for adoption would understand that last statement and I am not sure how to explain it to make them understand. I guess the best way to explain it is that when you place your child for adoption you still have the desire to mother something so instead getting pregnant again I got my two girls.
This review is a little different I was sent two books in the Postcards from Misty Harbor Inn Series by Evangeline Kelley to review so there will be two review in this post. I really did enjoy both of these books and I am sure you will enjoy them as well!
Seaside Harmony Review
I really enjoyed this book and can’t wait to read the third book in the series. In this book they mainly focus on Caroline and her getting her sisters on board with buying the Misty Harbor Inn that their mother took them to when they were children. It was also their mothers dream to one day own it and run a bed and breakfast there with her daughters. The author does a great job of making you feel as though you are there with the characters and you also can understand where each of the sisters is coming from. I wasn’t a huge fan of the ending of this book but there are still 2 other books so it can still get better and I am sure it does.
Sunflower Summer Review
This book mainly follows Gracie around when she comes back in the summer in time to open up the Inn for the summer with her sisters. I saw so much of myself in Gracie and I feel I could relate to her the most. I feel like I am repeating myself from the review of the first book so I am just going to say that I loved this book and I really can’t wait for the 3rd book to come out in August so that I can read it as well!
About The Books
Seaside Harmony
Three sisters, a charming inn, hints of mystery and romance, and a gorgeous seaside setting. Summer reading at its finest!
When Caroline Marris joins her sisters, Gracie Gold and Sam Carter for a Nantucket Island getaway, she has no idea how it will change her life. The sisters stumble upon Misty Harbor Inn, the place their late mother loved so much, and Caroline talks her sisters into buying the beautiful but dilapidated inn. But can free-spirited Caroline stay focused enough to make opening the inn a reality? Hand-drawn old postcards draw the sisters into the mystery of Hannah Montague, the young widow of the original owner. Can the sisters uncover the fate of this woman who disappeared in 1880? As Caroline and her sisters work together to make their mom’s dream a reality, they bond in ways they never expected.
Sunflower Summer
Misty Harbor Inn officially opens, and Gracie Gold, the middle Marris sister, wrestles with an overwhelming decision. As the sisters learn the day-to-day workings of running an inn, Gracie counsels its first guests, newlyweds whose honeymoon seems to be ending before it begins. Meanwhile, Sam’s discovery of a clue in a secret room sheds unflattering light on Hannah Montague, who vanished from the house more than one hundred years ago. And as Gracie and Caroline welcome guests to the inn, they are delighted to see how God uses it — and them — to deepen relationships and transform lives.
Evangeline Kelley is the pen name for the writing team of Patti Berg, Pam Andrews & Barbara Hanson, and Camy Tang, the four authors who collaborated to create Postcards from Misty Harbor Inn. Each of them has published novels individually, but this is their first series together.
This week for the Writers Workshop I am going to list my top 10 favorite YouTube channels. This was super hard because I love so many channels so I just picked the channels that I always watch when they have a new video up.
Jenna Marbles-I did a post last year about YouTube channels I loved to watch and this chick was on that list as well. She is so funny and I agree with so much of what she says. If you want to laugh go check her out but be warned that she swears tons in her videos.
Daily Grace-I have only watch this lady for a few months but ever since I found her I watch her videos everyday and I have gone back and watched tons of her old ones as well. She is funny and you never know what you are going to get with each of her videos.
Lisa MarieTTC-This lady is super pretty and even though I have no idea what it would be like to not be able to get pregnant I can’t stop watching her video’s. She is just starting IVF and I am hooked and I can’t wait for her to get a positive test. She is so honest when it comes to what she is going through and the costs of IVF and for someone like me who has no idea about IVF it was educational. Here is the link to the video where she talks about how expensive IVF is.
Grav3yardgirl-I have watch this girl for years and I can’t get enough of her. Her videos are always entertaining. If you are looking for someone who is fun and not your typical YouTube person you need to check her out I know you will love her.
PiinkSparkles-This girls personality is super bubbly and she always puts me in a good mood when I watch her video’s. She always have fun tutorials using bright colors and she isn’t afraid to be herself.
LaToya Forever-All I am going to say is that this girl makes me laugh. If you want to laugh you need to check her out.
blndsundoll4mj-I debated whither or not to put this one on the list because she always has such controversy going on but I do enjoy most of her videos. I wonder at times what is really and what is fake with her but in the end it doesn’t really matter and she is entertaining to watch most of the time.
Myish-I like this channel because they have different things and it isn’t just one person. There are serveral different people that contribute and it is interesting to watch most of the time.
ErinandBaby-I have watched this lady since she was pregnant with her first son and she is currently trying to have her 2nd child with her husband. I just feel like I can relate to her and I always watch her videos the minute I get an email saying that she uploaded a new one.
Annie Gallagher-I started following this lady right before she got pregnant with her twin girls and then she disappeared for awhile because life got crazy after she had the girls but she is back now and I love her videos and she is also someone who for some reason I feel like we could have a lot in common.
Now those are just 10 of the 1,000 channels that I am subscribed to but they are the ones I tend to watch the most.
