Christmastime Blues
Pinterest has ruined me! It is official. I see all these beautiful crafts that I would LOVE to make. All these sweet little creations that these kids create. I want that! I want a Pinterest perfect Christmas? Is it even possible? Who has the time or the money to do all that work? I work 12 hour shifts. I barely have time to sleep little on decorate my TINY house to the 9's. I have 2 boys, 1 of which is Autistic. I'm a MOM and I feel like a COMPLETE FAILURE. I look at all these people who have it all together and I want to be like that. Is it too much to ask for to not have to stress over paying for Christmas gifts. I WANT a picture perfect house and children who pose for all those beautiful pictures. But, I WON'T change my kids for anything. I NEED to step away from Pinterest. All it does is depress me. Pinterest you are the DEVIL.

NEW YORK TIMES AND USA TODAY
BEST SELLING AUTHOR TONI ALEO PRESENTS THE NEXT INSTALLMENT IN THE ASSASSINS
SERIES...
LACES AND LACE
Nine years ago, things were
perfect. Lacey and Karson had found their happily ever after in each other…or
so they thought. How do two people who were meant to be move on from that
once-in-a-lifetime love?
Lacey has a strength inside her
that comes alive with the things she’s most passionate about. She’s a fighter,
a survivor, and has everything she’s ever wanted but the one thing that matters
most—love.
Karson is doing the one thing he
loves most—playing hockey for the Assassins, yet he knows regret. He knows his
life has been missing the one thing he walked away from so many years
ago—Lacey.
Nine years later, and neither has
been able to succeed in moving on from what was, what could have been, and who
each of their hearts still beats for. When a chance encounter during a fateful
night has their paths crossing again, will the tether still attaching their
souls allow them to face the past, present, and a possible future?
Can two people with fate on their
side find a way back to each other? Overcome all the obstacles in their way to
finally live life together to the fullest?
Or will they let those around them
and the circumstances they face, along with questions and doubt, ruin a second
chance at the life they both deserve?
Laces and Lace includes the
prequel Tangled in the Laces, a dollar of your purchase will be donated to the
Nashville Predators Foundation.

PRAISE FOR LACES AND LACE....
"I feel that Laces &
Lace was one of the best books in the series, not only because it revolved
around heavy matter, but also because it drug you through emotional turmoil and
struggles and it wasn’t happy go lucky easy." ~ Amazon Reviewer: Kris
"Laces and Lace is a story of
survival, bravery, and endearing love. A story of when two people collide and
life without the other is miserable. After I read the prequel to Laces and Lace
I was dying to read the full novel. This story touched my heart and I urge you
to go get your copy!" ~ Brittany
@ Spare Time Book Blog
"This is such a great read,
with more steam than most of Toni's books! And so many laugh out loud moments,
seriously - JT needs his own book, and it needs to be amazingly hilarious
because I couldn't stop laughing! Overall? Laces and Lace was well worth the
wait!!" ~ For Love and
Books "Jac"
Other books in the series...
