Bookworm Wednesday: December

It’s the first Wednesday of the last month of 2015! Oh, wow!

This month, I read 2 books. Both Candace Cameron Bure. Listen, I am a huuuugggeee fan of her. I was before. But became a fan even more so after reading her books. If you ever watched Full House, (which let’s be honest if you didn’t, you did not grow up right) you would be too!

Love me some Tanner family. So when I saw that DJ, oops I mean Candace wrote a book I was all over it! I’m pretty sure I read them backwards, but oh well.

First up….Dancing Through Life.

This one was about Candace’s journey on Dancing with the Stars. She really dug into how she stood on her convictions of being a Christian on the show. Candace told us how badly she wanted to be on the show and she finally got the opportunity. There were times when she’d have to say no to certain things like outfits or dance moves because it didn’t match up with her Christian beliefs. I loved learning about her and the DWTS journey. It made me wish that I actually watched her season. There were parts of this book that I felt like she was rambling on so I found myself drifting in and out. I would still recommend it!

The next one I read was Balancing It All.

I personally liked Balancing It All better because it was about how Candace has balanced her life starting at the age of 5 when she landed her job on Full House to now. We got a sneak peak into her childhood life and Full House in general. And because I am such a huge fan of this show (like cried when it was over huge fan…just like Gilmore girls) it was fun for me to see what it was like. We learned how her and her husband met and how she juggles life being a mom. She raises her kids very normal considering their circumstances…as to not get wrapped up in Hollywood life. It’s how she grew up too. I also love that she touched on her struggle with Bulimia, which is why i’m so excited to read her next one…

…Reshaping It All (I can’t find it in stores anywhere, so now it’s on my Christmas list :)).

I love me some Candace Cameron Bure. Candace, if you’re reading this let’s hang out because I LOVE YOU and we have a lot we could talk about! 😉

Friday Favorites

Kicking my Friday afternoon off with Andrea, Narci, and Erika!

1. My Asics

These are the best shoes i’ve ever ever had. I always choose asics because they fit my foot the best. These in particular have cushion in the back but not in the front so they don’t feel huge on your feet. I can run, walk, go to the gym, do jumping jacks, whatever I feel like and I don’t get pain in my heels. I went to Nike for a couple years and my feet would always hurt every time I took them off and I would have blisters everywhere. If you are looking for this same comfort, check out these ASICS and I can tell you that you won’t regret it. And they are fun and colorful. One of the teachers in my exercise class uses them also, so they’ve got to be fantastic!

2. FULL. HOUSE.

Oh my gosh, people!!!! I was looking on Amazon today, and I FOUND A BARGAIN
! The entire Full House series for $54. This is originally a $170 value. IT IS SIXTY-EIGHT % OFF! I will most likely order this to give as a gift. We grew up on Full House and I still watch it all the time. This show is so family-friendly and funny. My mom would watch it with us sometimes, so people of all ages can enjoy! Buy one for you, your mom, your sister, your nephew, everyone! You can’t get enough FH. How could you not want to be part of this crazy crew?

3. Iowa State Tumbler

I got my beloved tumbler earlier this week, and it has become my most favorite thing within a couple days. I drink my morning coffee in this cup and then I carry my water in it throughout the day. It doesn’t sweat and get the table all wet and it’s the perfect size, plus look how pretty it is!! I will always be an Iowa State-er at heart. For my fellow cyclones…a Tumbler that is the closest I could come.

#4. Pictures like this

 

Dad always jokes with mom about her big nose. We see where she gets it from. Lord, help my sister and I if we have noses like mom and grandpa. We know we probably don’t have much control over it, but we still had to get the picture. If I must say so, I think Morgan will be more like them 🙂 It’s only natural I put some of my favorite people in my “Friday Favorites” post.

See you Monday!
