A Little Salty to Cut the Sweet

Dates Read: January 2014 
(I honestly don't remember when I read it but it was sometime in the last couple months.) I love reading Sophie Hudson's Boo Mama blog so I knew I wanted to read her book. Bobby got it for me on the Kindle and thanks to some late nights with a precious little one, I read this book in no time and thoroughly enjoyed it! I loved the stories she shared about her friends and family. It made me thankful for my friends and family and made me excited to see what the future will hold for our little family - hopefully it will be full of wonderful conversations around the dinner table.
  
Summary: (from amazon.com)
There's nothing quite like family--and some people would say that there's nothing better. But in a world where we sometimes know more about the Kardashians than we do about the people sleeping right down the hall, it's easy to forget that walking through life with our family offers all sorts of joy wrapped up in the seemingly mundane. There's even a little bit of sacred sitting smack-dab in the middle of the ordinary. And since time's-a-wastin', we need to be careful that we don't take our people--and their stories--for granted. 

Whether it's a marathon bacon-frying session, a road trip gone hysterically wrong, or a mother-in-law who makes every trip to the grocery store an adventure, author Sophie Hudson reminds us how important it is to slow down and treasure the day-to-day encounters with the people we love the most.

Written in the same witty style as Sophie's BooMama blog, A Little Salty to Cut the Sweet is a cheerful, funny, and tender account of Sophie's very Southern family. It's a look into the real lives of real people--and a real, loving God right in the middle of it all.
