Book Review: Bailey Brothers

-

 Good morning gems, 

welcome to another blog about... you guessed it BOOKS! I read a 5 book series by Claire Kingsley this week called The Bailey Brothers. The five books follow four brother through a tumultuous few years where everything from prison to unexpected pregnancies happen. The books really create a gorgeous family dynamic that makes readers root for the brothers from the get go. There is nothing like loving every character in a book and then watching each grow by having their own books!

Book 1 & 2 follow the oldest brother Asher in his love story and eventually in a huge 7 year jump due to a very sad turn of events. This duet encompasses all brothers and the repercussions of a tragic day hit the family for the three following books. I don't want to spoil things but the romance for Asher is really kicked off immediately when his childhood best friend comes home from college and he gets his head out of his ass. When all is basically a hallmark movie is when a huge turn of events happens and the whole cast of characters need to pivot. The second book brings us seven years forward and we get to see the followthrough. 

Book 3 follows Gavin, the youngest of the brothers, the one who seems to not have any fears and who keeps everyone holding their breath with his wild boy actions. He falls for... you guessed it... the one girl he can't have. How he pivots through this, learns what love is and really grows into a man in this book you follow him and also learn about how the tragedies of his life hit him much more than anyone thought. 

Book 4 follows one of our beloved twins, the middle children technically, Logan. This book is highly anticipated because through books 1-3 we watch Logan bicker and argue with one particular woman and as a reader you definitely get a VIBE (if you know what I mean) **wink wink**. This finally comes to a boiling point and things take a wildly unexpected turn as characters need to support the couple in life changes, close encounters with death and more!

Book 5 is where we finally get under the skin of the quiet, cool, calm and collected twin Levi. He is a much more background character as he is much less boisterous and spotlight prone than his siblings. His love story is one that really is being discreetly hinted at throughout the series but we get a whole town involved in book 5 and there is nothing I love more then some good old family drama! 

The series was not one a free kindle read, but it was an easy, fun and entertaining story that really had me dying to start each book. Shoutout to Claire Kingsley who has a die hard fan in me now!


Talk soon,

Tia

Furniture shopping

 Hey gems,  I hope you are all enjoying the sunshine as summer is approaching! We have been busy trying to pick out all the furniture for the new place. It has been quite a wild journey to get here so I thought I would take some time to review everything that has been going on! Firstly, my favourite store by far is Structube , it is my favourite place and has such a great variety of items but way less overwhelming then a big store like Ikea.  The first thing we picked is our dining table and chairs. The chairs are warm brown leather and the table has a fake live edge that I LOVE! This was the easiest item to choose by far! This is all in a warm theme and tones that will go well with the dark floors and cabinets. We also have been very budget conscious in the whole process and the table was a great price for a larger size so this was a no-brainer.  The next main items I picked out are decor because I had some very specific ideas like a gallery wall and big mirrors! We didn't buy the

Low budget Fall (lockdown) date ideas

Hey gems! How is everyone doing? Recently I have had to get super creative when it comes to date nights especially with the new lockdown we are limited in where we can go. So of course date night often include walks because not only is it great to get fresh air but it helps with the mental components of being stuck inside. We get tired of them quick though and need to mix it up during the week so here is what I came up with! Turn TV into games: You can chose any show or movie you are watching and turn it into a game! For example, every time a certain character says their catch phrase you either take a bite, drink or do something silly that you both agree on! it can be something silly or answering any question! This basically gets as creative as you want to! Newlywed game (quiz) Basically any type of quizzing each other on how well you know each other! We did this with my sister and her boyfriend as a competition but it can be fun just between the two of you as well! This is super cute

Dear 2020

Dear 2020, You certainly threw us for a loop didn’t you? We were all chanting about 20/20 vision and you thought “Ha just wait and see!”. Not only did you show us just how quickly we can lose everything we thought we would always have, you have given us a new appreciation for things we used to let go unnoticed.  In March, we all thought we were getting a fun two weeks of break, two weeks working from home, a little fun time. Boy oh boy did we learn pretty quick that we would be home and confided longer and with more restrictions added on weekly.  At first, part of me loved it. I’ve always been a home body but man did that get pushed to every limit possible. I never wished I can do little things like go to the movies or a mall without being terrified of how many items I’m touching more in my life. 2020 has given us the gift of perception. There are so many things that used to be so important that now seem minimal, and things we took for granted that seem impossible to part with now. I t
