My Review

I don’t have as much time to read blogs as I would like, however I make time for those blogs that consistently post content that is intelligent, honest and highly-relatable to my life and situation. After reading Cobble Stones, I’ve added Sandra’s blog (www.onecobble.com) to that list.

I enjoyed each chapter/essay and discovered several gems of wisdom. I appreciated Sandra’s sense of humor, especially in “Notes to Things I Feel Grouchy About.” In other chapters she shares lessons learned as well as doubts in parenting, something all parents can relate to at one time or another. She also shares her thoughts about simple experiences and memories, like summer rains and sitting on the neighbor’s porch steps watching the kids play.

If you enjoy well-written blog posts and are looking for a good quick read for the summer, pick up Cobble Stones on Kindle or Nook for only $2.99 (which I think is a great price) or a print copy HERE.
