I LOVE Summer & Family Vacations! #LittleMercies ~ The Review Stew

This post is sponsored by Harlequin. All opinions are mine.

Summer is one of my favorite seasons because it is one of the best times of the year to spend time with family, enjoy time outside and read books on the deck in the shade or on the beach! The book I am currently reading is perfect for summer and all the family time we have been enjoying: LITTLE MERCIES by Heather Gudenkauf, which became available in stores June 24, 2014.

I grew up looking forward to summer because of our annual summer vacations and road trips we would take in our big conversion van with all my siblings (some times more than TEN PEOPLE TOTAL!). We would travel all around the country, visiting different historical sites and beautiful locations like the Grand Canyon, Washington D.C., and many, many state parks. On our long road trips, a good book (or many!) were essentials to be packed. It got me through the long car rides and helped me fall asleep at night.

One of our many BIG family vacations!!!

We would camp in tents and eventually a pop up camper. The memories we made and the sights we saw will forever be remembered as some of my most cherished times!

Now that I have my own family, I can't wait to start making summer family vacation memories with my kids and husband like I did growing up.

Reading Little Mercies this summer really made me remember all those great family memories and cherish the great family I have. It is an unbelievably touching story that made me cherish my family and remember how blessed I am to be a mother and wife that is loved and that I can love back!
