When I was messaged by one of the August Love Inspired authors about a Facebook party, I had exactly one book left on my shelf to give away at the party… ONE!

Lucky me that I had one left! And lucky whoever wins it!

(Oh, and that Facebook party is TOMORROW!) 

I know I’ve been posting a lot about promotional stuff lately, and I only halfway apologize for that. 😉 Because I’m really excited about this release, and I REALLY think you’ll like it!

But other than clearing out my “newest release” bookshelf on my desk, we’ve been doing some Back to School shopping with our nearly 5th grader. It’s been fun! He’s old enough now that he cares about the clothes we buy him, but doesn’t actually like the shopping experience yet. But still–the stuff I would choose is no longer cool enough for him. So I guess I knew this day was coming.

I also walked him past my book in the drug store when we were running errands the other day and pointed it out.

Me: Hey, come here. I’m going to show you something.

10 yr. old: What?

Me: Recognize that? (pointing at my book in all its glory on the shelf.)

10: Oh, yeah. That’s nice, Mom. 

I swear, he was being extra nice to me in that kind of patronizing kind of way adults use with kids showing their latest Lego creation. He patronized me!  Maybe I should have seen this day coming, too. LOL

So that’s what I’ve been up to. 🙂 I’m looking forward to my life getting back into a regular routine again come September. But I’m still going to make the most of this last month of summer…

Hope you do, too!
