Daddy Dates {Book Review}
I'm quite obviously not a daddy! But when the opportunity came for me to review this book, I took it because I'm married to a daddy and that daddy has three little girls. They definitely are going to be going on many dates with their daddy in the years to come.
My original intent was for said daddy to write this review. However, as much as daddy likes to read books, this is also one of the busiest times of the year for him when it comes to work and also his love of hunting.
So you are left with mommy reviewing this book. Maybe in the future, he can come back with his thoughts.
Let me say, that I believe that as a mom, even I learned how to treat my daughters more special by reading this book. Greg Wright is a witty writer and talks openly about how he often feels clueless raising four girls. Often I feel clueless as well in how to raise three girls, so this was refreshing!
I loved that he offers real life examples of how to date his daughters. I loved how it was very evident that his daughters love and respect him. They are still your typical teenage girls, and struggle at times with wanting to obey, but for the most part they are open and honest. I believe a lot of that has to do with their dad taking them on dates.
Without giving away too much of the book, I will say that I would highly recommend this book to dads of girls of any age. It is heart-warming to see how this dad is setting the bar high for his daughters and that is something I think every dad wants.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from BookSneeze.com I was not obligated to write a positive review and all opinions expressed are my own.

Random Updates!
So I figure it's time for a little updating in different random areas of my life. So instead of doing a whole bunch of separate posts, I thought I would put it altogether in one post titled random updates!
No, no further update on our kitchen renovation that we started back in, uh hum, August. I just asked Chris about it last night and he told me to tell all of you that as soon as he shoots a big buck, he will finish it. Oh, and that he does have everything he needs to finish it too, but again, deer hunting takes precendent! Thank goodness December 31st is coming soon!
Confession: I ran my 5K almost a month ago and besides a few things here or there, I haven't really exercised. Like my sister, I keep coming up with too many excuses or push it aside in lieu of doing something else. Unlike my sister, I do not have my dad's metabolism and breastfeeding makes me hang onto those last 10 lbs. that I am so desperate to lose. Grr!! I had every intention of starting Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred last week, I even posted that I was on facebook, but something came up and I never did. Maybe tonight I will? I figure if I blog it, you all have to hold me accountable. Remember the tootsie roll addiction? It's no more thanks to getting it out in the open! Just don't ask me about my new love of Annie's Cheddar Bunnies, ok?
I think that's it, and I must go because while I typically blog at night when all the girls are asleep , today I decided to blog during the girls naptime, except Xiomara isn't napping, she is sitting in the swing next to me and just started fussing! And in the time it took me to finish editing this and post it, I got Xiomara down. Meridian is now eating a cookie sitting on my lap pointing to the picture of the Cheddar Bunnies and asking for some. Oh and look at that, Zoelle is up! Now I remember why I never blog during the day. Besides the fact that it would take time away from them, I'd never get anything accomplished seeing it took me practically the whole nap time to type this up.
Tchau!
