Book Club Goes to the Movies: Me Before You

Our book club keeps picking books that are turned into movies, and we try to go see them when we can. We read Me Before You about 18 months ago {review here}, and the movie finally came out this past weekend! We were excited to see it, but it certainly didn't hurt that it has actors from Game of Thones, Hunger Games, AND Harry Potter!!!


Plot: A girl in a small town forms an unlikely bond with a recently paralyzed man she's taking care of.

Review: Oh.my.word. Cue the ugly cries. We LOVED it! This was actually really pretty true to the book {only a few things I could think of that were different}, and I loved the actors who portrayed the main characters. It was actually a lot funnier than I thought it would be, and I enjoyed myself the whole way through. I really hope they make the sequel book {After You} into another movie as well. Love, love, love!

June 2016 Goals!

Well, I never got around to making May goals, oops! So we should check in on how I did on April's...if I can even remember them.

1. DIY Kimono - Done! I took a day off work and spent the day with my mother-in-law and we made 2 kimonos! We had so much fun and are going to make more!!



2. Finish Playroom - Not done. Womp, womp! BUT...I do know the last few things I want to do to get it done.
3. Pictures & 4. Kitchen Chairs - As evidenced here, both of these got knocked out!
5. Juice Cleanse - I did it! If I could always get them super cheap I would love to do one more often because I did feel like it did a good job of cleansing without being harsh.
6. Back in the Kitchen - I have definitely been cooking more and using my meal planner!

Now onto June goals...



1. More Moving - I was training for a 5K {so sad that I had to 'train' for it given that used to be my standard run} but got sidetracked by a stomach bug, so I want to get back to running so that I can not feel embarrassed about not being able to run a 5K.

2. Pool Time - We joined a country club that has a pool, and I have been so excited for the weather to warm up to go to the pool...and it's been raining non-stop. Womp, womp! So the forecast next week looks much better, and I can't wait to get into the pool with the kids!

3. Organize Playroom - I really think I am going to plan to do this like twice a year. The rest of the year as long as stuff is off the floor, I'll be happy. But I do want to match up all the dress-up shoes, Transformers parts, random game pieces, etc. Then I'm sure a week later it'll be a mess again, but it'll make me feel good to clean it up periodically!

4. Decorate Office - Now that we have beautiful office furniture {yay!} we need to get stuff on the walls. I have a pile of possibilities and just need to get my handy decorator over to help me put it all together.

So nothing too crazy for this month, but I sure am looking forward to a fun summer!
