A Sweet Beginning

I read Michelle Obama's memoir this month.  She is a great storyteller and I loved reading about her experiences growing up on Chicago's South Side.  The book is divided into three sections - her childhood, her relationship with President Obama, and her vision for the future. 

I love these two and thought their book was hilarious!  The book is set up as conversations between the two of them which can be hard to follow but there are also certain chapters/stories told by just one of them.  The pictures included with the book are amazing and so, so funny!

It took me awhile to get through this book but it was interesting to read about Jackie Kennedy Onassis and Lee Radziwill.  They had many similarities and their rivalry/competitiveness was fascinating.

The Sherman Fam hit the road for Indiana this Thanksgiving and had the best time!

Big Cypress is one of our favorite weekend spots to go for a drive and look for alligators.  We didn't see as many as last time, but still saw 50 or so along with a lot of turtles, fish, and birds :)

I have loved Busy Philipps since watching Dawson's Creek and then Cougar Town.  She is hilarious on Instagram and a relatable, down to earth celebrity.  She is a great storyteller and I recommend this book.

This book feels honest and empowering.  I loved learning about the choices she has made in her life to find success.  I was also super interested in learning about life with Tom Brady :)

I was hoping this book was more of a lifestyle read with recipes and beauty tips.  It was nice to read about her path in life, just not what I expected.
