The Paris Wife

Just thought I would post my short review of this book that I loved and hated at the same time. My little red eyes are freshly finished with the story, but the tears made finishing the book a bit sweeter.

The Paris WifeThe Paris Wife by Paula McLain

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


I truly enjoyed reading The Paris Wife, it all felt so happy and real and true. Then suddenly it didn't, and I felt Hadley's true sadness sweep through my heart. I hadn't ever read anything about Hemingway before, and that definitely helped, I had no idea how tragic the book would end.

Midnight in Paris

I just stumbled upon these seriously gorgeous photos of Marion Cotillard and had to share! I am now itching to see Midnight in Paris because of its 93% rating from Rotten Tomatoes {and dang it's hard to please them!}. Have you seen it, did you enjoy it? xxoo

Dinner Fail, Dessert Win!

Last nights dinner was supposed to look like this Instead it turned out like this It was a serious fail. The flavor was good, but it looked terrible and took more than twice as long to make as we thought it would. Oh and, it was a bit too crispy. BUT Dessert redeemed me, it was Kiwi Lemon Cheesecake - Yum! The recipe called for lemon curd, and when I saw how expensive it was at the store, I decided to try and make my own! It turned out great, and this was the end result It was not quite as solid as it should have been, but delicious non-the-less! Both of these recipes were from Rachel Ray's Everyday magazine. It was exciting making new things, hopefully next time they turn out a bit better :) xxoo
