Top 2 Tuesday: Dates

Josh and I hardly ever go on dates! With two boys ages 4 and 19 months-it's hard to go anywhere. Our family is 2 hours away so we rarely have anyone to watch the boys. When they do happen to get the boys for the weekend our idea of a date is sitting on the couch relaxing and enjoying the quiet and not having to get up every 2 minutes to get the boys something! Hah!

1. Our idea of a date when the boys are around is waiting until they go to bed and watching shows we have dvr'd or a blockbuster movie with a bowl of ice cream!

2. When we do have a weekend alone, we will usually go out to eat and go see a movie. Sometimes we will go to the mall or a local outside shopping center and walk around, or go get ice cream at Coldstone!

I know-not very original, but it's hard with little kids. Maybe when they get older, we will have more exciting dates!! :)

I love, love, love to read! I am in school to be an elementary teacher, so I have some favorite Children books too. Some of my favorite are...


Anything by Beverly Cleary

A Bad Case of the Stripes-This is such a cute book!

I love anything by Judy Blume


I love these Junie B Jones books. They are so cute and I love Junie!

I have many more, but this post could get really long!


I still love to read any chance I get, though it's harder now with a family and trying to finish school. I love to read anything by Nicholas Sparks, Jodie Picoult, Sophie Kinsella, Danielle Steel, Nora Roberts. I have lots of other favorite authors as well. I recently read The Help, which I really enjoyed! I love The Harry Potter series, and the Twilight books as well!
