Originally published on 07/13/2018 I was given the opportunity to review some other books recently, and having grown up in Colorado, I was eager to take a peek! Larry (my hubby) and I love being outdoors, and we are hoping to be able to travel full time in the semi-near future. Larry is finishing up his Bachelor's Degree in Communications next spring, and is attending Colorado State University Global Campus to do so. I have wanted to take him to Colorado and down a trip down my  memory lane  for some time now, and since he will finish next year, this will be a perfect time so he can walk for his graduation!

Originally published on 02/02/2018 Have you been through tough times in your marriage? Then this book may be for you. My husband, Larry White, has published this book himself. He has been through 6 marriages, yes, I'm wife number 6! However, even though other marriages may not have worked out (he is a widower after all), doesn't mean he didn't learn from each relationship he's been in. I encourage you to go take a look and purchase this book. In the future, if I get more followers on my blog, I will do a giveaway for a paperback copy of this book. So what are you waiting for?
