My 2021 Book Recs of the Year!

Featuredby Shelby Turner DowningLeave a Comment on My 2021 Book Recs of the Year!
My 2021 Book Recs of the Year!

I've taught high school English for the past 6 years, but to be honest, between grading multiple page essays, lesson planning, after school impromptu counseling sessions with students, commuting back and forth, meal prepping, and just trying to have a LIFE, my reading life hit the back burner. I felt like a hypocrite! Here I [...]

Summer Book Review: Amy Poehler’s “Yes Please”

Summer Book Review: Amy Poehler’s “Yes Please”

"Yes Please!" I can think of some things I'd love to say that in response to. For example: "Would you like to eat bread again?" "YES PLEASE!" (More on that later...) "Another margarita?"

You’re just pure sugar, Dallas🍭🤍
Grateful she’s mine🤍🤍
Let’s do this!💃🏻Beach, Mother’s Day, a brunch, a night out…love these dresses for it all! #dillards has always been my favorite 💜
Thankful to our family and dear friends who came out to celebrate @logantdowning & I surviving the first year of parenthood. And so sweet that Dallas could join in on the fun, too🤣🐎He’s so loved!💙#oneyearold #myfirstrodeo
On this day one year ago I woke up to the most beautiful April day. My heart skipped a beat knowing it was the day of my 39 week OB appt. For some reason, this day just felt different. I got all glammed up hoping I could somehow hide the 50 lbs I’d gained with some foundation and lip gloss🤣 and I sang in the car all the way down to Dallas. The joy even continued as I walked into the office, discovering it was my doctor’s birthday! I thought, “Could you have the same birthday as her?!” Little did I know I’d be staying, in for the wildest night of my life, being admitted for signs of labor. Tonight I’ll rock you a little slower, a little longer…soaking up this one last sleep before you are one. I can’t believe it. A life without you is unimaginable. How did I do it for 28 years?
And that’s a wrap on Seaside🏖🌊there is no perfect marriage…no perfect family…but there are perfect moments🥺🙏🏼🥰we’ll be back soon! This place is something special. #30a #dallasgoesseaside
