Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn
This book took you on a roller coaster ride that you didn’t know if you wanted to get off or not. It had you questioning who you believed and who you sympathized with. It had you asking yourself what the heck was going on. We meet Nick on the day of his 5th wedding anniversary with his wife, Amy. Everything is routine, until Amy disappears from their house with signs of a struggle. Nick, not being the most likeable or sympathetic husband, starts lying to everyone and acts in a way a grieving husband normally would not act given the circumstances. We also get a glimpse into Nick and Amy’s past through entries from Amy’s journal entries, which paint the picture of a wife who desperately loved her husband.
This book did start a little slow for me, mainly because I was not a fan of Nick – at all. He just seemed uncaring, guilty and unemotional; however, he was determined to find out what exactly happened to his wife. However, as the plot of the story thickened and the twists came, you started getting a sense that things were not what they seemed. You were constantly kept at the edge of your seat trying to figure out who to believe and what was going to happen next. If you want a mystery thriller, this is definitely the book for you.

Hi, my name is Lynne!
I am a former teacher
and now a stay-at-home mom to my two beautiful children.
I’m also own a small business,
{Lavish Lulu}!
Growing up, my mom kept my hair short…
the “Dorothy Hammel,”
and I always envied my friends with long hair.
I swore my daughter
{if blessed with one},
would have long, beautiful hair!
I have been having fun experimenting with her hair,
and I have been asked to share one of our favorites with you!
One of my daughter’s favorite hairstyles to wear to school and dance is the
“Bow Bun!”
{weekend} lovelies
Happy Weekend!
For this edition of {Weekend} Lovelies,
I thought I would create our Lovelies based on a need in my home.
I am a guilty Mama of constantly doing EVERYTHING for my kids.
Shoe tying, dressing, teeth brushing,
all while trying to get out the door on time.
It is time to rise to the occasion to the fact that Mason and Madeline
are old enough to be doing most of these
responsibilities on their own.
If I don’t make a change, I am doomed……
or their wife and husband will be………
{Organize your your home>><< Tidy Mom}
If Mama is not organized then how can I expect the kids to listen.
Having items labeled and put away in a tidy manner
can help the kids to identify their placement
as well as it allows others {such as husbands} to help.
Creating more “Family Time” and less yelling…..
