Blurb from goodreads:

Paul Cunningham is one of the only bachelors left on the SEAL wolf team, and he's less than thrilled to hear he's been volunteered for a local charity bachelor auction.

Lori Greypaw suspected that her grandmother would use the auction as an opportunity to fix her up. So she's not surprised when she "buys" Paul to help Lori renovate her mountain cabin for a week. Lori's had a crush on the sexy SEAL wolf for years, but he proves to be handy with more than a hammer when two fugitives come knocking and he'll do anything to protect the woman he's falling for

Sunday Book Share #151

 
http://www.talksupeblog.com/search/label/Bought%20Borrowed%20and%20Bagged

 I'm participating in The Sunday Post, hosted by The Caffeinated Book Reviewer; Showcase Sunday hosted by Books, Biscuits and Tea; Stacking the Shelves, hosted by Tynga's Reviews; and Bought Borrowed and Bagged, hosted by TalkSupe. All of these memes are about sharing the print and digital books received and/or posts and events on the blog.

Another 40 hour week at school but it was a good week. Messy art activities, some science experiments, fun literacy/sensory play (I love combining different domains into one activity), the kids and I were busy. :) Next week instead of being in one room all week, I'm bouncing around from room to room so I won't do as much curriculum planning or implementing. I'll plan some simple things though in case I have the opportunity to actually do some curriculum.

In other news, one of my neighbors got an adorable new puppy, two months old, and he's smaller than my foot! He's a Yorkshire Terrier/Chihuahua mix and just adorable. He's also a real sweetie, friendly and calm. I am so very tempted to commit dognapping! Goof and Claude would probably object. As would the puppy's owner. :D

Soapy Saturday June 25th, 2015 - Melt and Pour Bases


I've been wanting to do something non-bookish on the blog but couldn't think what. I'm not much for cooking, I can't garden worth a darn, and I don't sew, knit,or do anything creative. Then I remembered that I make soaps, bath salts, and sugar scrubs, and that's both creative AND crafty. Every other Saturday, or when I remember :D, I'll share some photos and recipes and chat a bit. I'm by no means an expert, it's a casual hobby, though for a few years I did have an online store. I still sell if you ever want to place an order.
