Debbie Macomber has won the hearts of millions of readers with her moving and inspiring stories.

In Blossom Street Brides wedding bells are ringing in a close community that centres around A Good Yarn, located in a small Seattle neighborhood. People come to the store to buy yarn and patterns but always leave richer in friendship and love from the relationships with the owner.

Lauren Elliott has waited years for her l boyfriend, Todd, to propose but he always seems more focused on his career than on their relationship. When Lauren learns that her younger sister is pregnant before she is even engaged, she is happy but completely disheartened. Knowing that she can’t put her future on hold anymore, Lauren makes a bold choice—one that leads her to a man that she never dreamed she’d meet.

Newly married to her second husband, Max, Bethanne Scranton is completely in love. But with their jobs separating them on a daily basis (Max’s job in California and Bethanne’s in Seattle) their long-distance marriage is becoming difficult to maintain. To further complicate matters, Bethanne’s cunning ex will do anything to win her back as well as her children’s.

Lydia Goetz is happy with her husband, Brad, although lately she worries about the future of her store – A Good Yarn the community gathering point. As she considers how to increase business, she discovers that someone has beaten her to it. Baskets of yarn are mysteriously popping up all over town, with instructions to knit a scarf for charity and bring it into Lydia’s store. Her shop receives so much attention but she has no idea who has hatched this brilliant plan?

A great summer read for the pool or the beach! An easy story to follow with the three women’s lives intersecting in such an unique way. Great romances and life stories behind each characters that helps you relate to each one (I am sure you will know at least one person that you can relate to a character!).

We love music in our house – it lifts your spirits up, allows you to be silly and helps those lovely household chores be done that much quicker.

I was eager to download and listen to David Gray’s new album, Mutineers. I was not familiar with his work and was interested in hearing what the hype was all about. This is David Gray’s tenth album and his first in the last four years. His album was released on June 18th, 2014.

I loved everything about this album – the tune, the lyrics and especially his voice. It was perfect listening to it while I worked on my blog and also while laying out in the backyard for some down time. It even passed the approval of my kids – which is hard to earn especially when it comes to music. His voice is incredible and combining that with those awesome lyrics – it is a win win! My favourite song? It would have to be Last Summer.

Catch this clip of his song, Back In The World:

You can order the album through Amazon or iTunes.

Are you familiar with David Gray’s work?
