Yesterdays Tides ~Book Review

redeemingbeautyfamilyadventures

Such a great read! There are so many things to love about this book and I love when books teach me new things like this one. I had never heard of the Okracoke Island…have you?
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The story crosses two different wars and differant generations and the author keeps you guessing right up until the end.I love how she weaves family into the generations and brings the struggles within to life and the different angles of each character. It is packed full!
.
Our bookclub had the privilege to do a zoom with the author to talk through this book and it was awesome! We all loved getting her perspective and hearing about the writing process. A huge thank you to @roseannamwhite for taking the time to do this! We are looking forward to reading more of her books and if you haven’t read any of her books … pick up a copy!

Megs & Mo ~ Upscale Thrifting ~Review

redeemingbeautyfamilyadventures

We spent the day with friends last weekend enjoying the beautiful waterfront , farmers market and visiting some fun thrift shops like this upscale one .. Megs & Mo.
.

The store is beautiful and the items are all presented well. I was impressed with some of the designer labels they had and the price points for those items. Louis Vuitton , Hermes , Kate Spade ,Ulla Johnson and so many more !

They also had a great vintage section to shop from if you’re looking for some vintage pieces. There is something for everyone! Purses, shoes ,accessories and a mix of price points from 10-15$ to around 400$ depending on items.

This is a great shop to check out especially if you love thrifting and higher end items ❤️ I’m newer to thrifting but after this experience I’m excited to do more! I would love to know if you are a thrifter and if you have any tips to share.. leave in comments below ⬇️ and check out our virtual tour ⬇️

The Librarian Spy ~Book Review

redeemingbeautyfamilyadventures

If you want a great WW2 read that is inspired by actual events then this is a must read. I could not put it down! I fell in love with the characters and loved all the historical references. There were some really tough moments with the characters in this book that honestly I had never considered in all my years of WW2 study that could have potentially happened. So hard to imagine what each person had to do and choose during this war. The author did a terrific job at bringing each of these characters to life as well as bringing the story full circle . I would love to know if you read this and your thoughts so send me a message or comment ⬇️

Radiator Springs ~Standby or Single Rider ?

redeemingbeautyfamilyadventures

Radiator Springs Racers was at the top of our must do rides and we were not disappointed!

You can see the lines for standby on the right and the single rider is completely open

We jumped in the single rider line which meant we didn’t ride together but we were all able to ride it several times in a short amount of time.

Standby line
Single rider line

Definitely the way to go if you don’t want to wait in the 60 min lines ! Check out our reel below to see our clips of the ride✨

Starwars Transport to Disneyland…Unique Opportunity ⭐️

redeemingbeautyfamilyadventures

What an amazing treat! We had the opportunity to fly on the special Star Wars Transport to Disneyland from Alaska Airlines ⭐️



Not only did the porgs fly on the winglets but we also watched as the sun was rising .. absolutely amazing and we were completely geeking out ! So cool!


A huge thank you to @friendlikemisty for the heads up about the special plane ⭐️
.
If you are wanting to try to find the plane to book your own “Star Wars” adventure, call Alaska and tell them the plane registration number is N538AS. You can find where it’s going next by using flight-tracking website Flightradar24.
.
And if you book a @disneyland flight through @alaskaair then be on the lookout … you may be flying in this one of a kind plane ⭐️⭐️⭐️
