Momma Create

My new purse is finished. And when I started I really wasn't sure about my fabric choices, but now this purse is so fun!!! I'm excited!!! It turned out so good!!

Ah it's been awhile since I've sewn, and even longer since I've made a purse... I couldn't even find the pattern for the purse I wanted to make.... Look how fun this is going to be!!! Oh I'm so excited!!! And no, I am not matching up the patterns. I'm trying to make this out of just 2 yards of fabric (success!) and really I hate lining up prints, it can be so nerve racking.

My kids don't have a single baby blanket.... We aren't a blankey family. But they both had 4 baby blankets. One day my daughter said "Mom, can you make my blankets into one BIG blanket?" Yes! She's had hers for years and uses it everyday, it's her living room/TV blanket. I've finally finished my son's blanket. These end up being HEAVY! He's excited and loves the fish. They are hard to work with, they are not perfectly made... There was blood, sweat, tears, and swearing. It was all worth it since he's currently super excited about his blanket that mom made.

Jenny Proctor



I don't always read clean romance, but it's what I like to promote... Because there's enough promoting the spice/smut.
After getting suckered into the social media adds for a book that was beyond spicy and just weird and icky-My brain still has to know what happens with the story line and plots no matter how many pages I skip- I really wanted something engaging, humorous, swoony, and CLEAN!!!

I looked and looked and then decided.... Jenny Proctor would be a good choice, and let me tell you.... THE HAWTHORNES did not disappoint!
Swoooooonnnn!

I'm originally from an area that has a town where people come for apples and apple picking. So that was nostalgic.

How to Kiss Your Best Friend- Proctor is a master at writing about this long secret love of someone without making them seem like a smuck. Brody is (my favorite word) endearing, he's Strong, capable, smart, and kind. Kate is a wanderer, and she's come home to tend to her grandmother's house... Perhaps she'll find herself in the one place she has been avoiding all these years. This was very much a slow burn.

How To Kiss Your Grumpy Boss- I loved Perry! Lila was great! And let me say ... Jack actually sounded like a 5 year old little boy and not someone who is capable of writing a college dissertation. That drives me nuts in books. It was a fantastic single mom love story, and very realistic but full of the swoon.

How To Kiss Your Enemy - the depth of these two characters was delicious! And I appreciated that while they were enemies, and there was banter and animosity, it wasn't vicious. It came from a competitiveness and misunderstanding of the other person. Lennox was a great hero lead.

How to Kiss a Move Star- Flint! Ahh! Loved Flint! Audrey was great, I loved how she came into herself! They found the best in each other.

The Hawthornes in general!!! You'll love the family. There is another book, but I haven't read it, about their younger sister that comes before this series.
If you're looking to love a family with 4 swoon worthy brothers and the strong women they fall in love with, in a clean romance it's here.
