I am so excited to share my secret for filling my beach bag with awesome books on a budget with you all. I've been talking about this very topic to all of my friends and family members who I can get to listen, but especially those who love to read. This summer, I discovered ThriftBooks.com and I've been reading roughly 2 books per week ever since. ThriftBooks.com is a website that sells used books at amazing prices and ships them to your door. Saying that ThriftBooks.com has a massive selection Read more [...]

  Thank you to Sleeping Baby Inc. for providing me with product, free of charge, in exchange for an honest blog review.  All opinions are 100% my own.

This post was sponsored by the Role Mommy Writer's Network.  However, all opinions are 100% my own. As a child, I remember dreading going to the doctor.
