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 I fell in love with the characters and loved all the historical references.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 ⬇️
Coffee recharge Disney style ✨Loved being able to enjoy my low carb keto coffee while on vacation! Pike place with a splash of heavy cream and check out the Disney Starbucks cups!! How cute!
“Escape the ordinary.” – Unknown . So thankful we had the opportunity recently to travel to Disneyland. It was a wonderful break of the ordinary and left us with memories of adventures ✨
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 ⭐️⭐️⭐️
The Italian Ballerina by Kristy Cambron gives a rare look into the Nazi occupation of Rome and the fake Syndrome K of WW2 . Based on actual historical events it leaves you wanting to go back in history to reread events you may have missed. She gives the reader a wonderful story of the beauty even in the war from the London ballet stage and the allies storming the beaches of Salerno to the one moment that forever changed a soldier and a little girls life and those that got swept into life changing moments alongside them . The book bridges the beauty in how God can use each of us in a mighty way and create family where there is none. . As the story unfolds I couldn’t help but think of the holocaust museum in Washington DC and the moment where I stood in the hallway and countless photographs were hung of those who were missing or killed in the war. Families that stepped from this world to eternity . It made me wonder and think about how their pictures ended up there . I’m sure there is a story in all of it and this book reminded me of that . However, they did, I’m so thankful they did so that they could be remembered❤️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here’s what I am currently reading so be watching for reviews.. I already posted the Lady Unrivaled..so good!

American girl just released their Disney Doll Collection and it was perfect timing with our trip to Disneyland. We knew we needed to plan a detour here to not only visit the flagship store but also to treat our little to some Disney Magic for her doll . She loved it all!
After checking out the whole store, she was able to narrow down her choices and pick a beautiful new Cinderella dress for her doll to wear for Disneyland ✨It was so much fun! Have you seen these sets? They are so beautiful and come with so many unique accessories. They are $55 each set and considering the quality and the accessories I feel like it’s a great deal . The dolls are $125 each but again such a great value for what you are getting!
Our little has been on her own agenda with wanting to visit all the @americangirlbrand stores when we travel and so Los Angeles ofcourse was on her list! The Los Angeles store is located in Westfield Century City and is absolutely beautiful! .The mall is in the heart of Los Angeles so grab coffee before driving there as traffic is almost always crazy. This past year we also visited the Nashville and Washington DC stores.
There are two floors ..the main floor is where the salon and shopping is . And the salon has ear piercing and hairstyles for both the girl and their doll. There is also pet pampering too!!
