Two Classy Chics

I grew up listening to Rod Stewart since he was one of my mother’s favorite rock musicians and now that I am an adult, I still enjoy listening to classic Rod Stewart music.

Well, with great pleasure today I get to tell you all about the brand new CD that Rod Stewart recently released. The CD is titled “TIME” and while some of the music has that classic Rod Stewart vibe…some of the tracks have a new-age & modern feel to them.

Tracks Included on the “Time” CD:

* She Makes Me Happy
* Can’t Stop Me Now
* It’s Over
* Brighton Beach
* Beautiful Morning
* Live the Life
* Finest Woman
* Time
* Picture in a Frame
* Sexual Religion
* Make Love to Me Tonight
* Pure Love

The album was produced by Rod Stewart and co-produced by Kevin Savigar, released by Capitol Records.

As soon as my complimentary CD arrived, I popped it into my hard drive to listen to it and since that time…I have completely fallen in-love with it. My favorite 2 songs off the CD are: Time and Beautiful Morning. There is just something about the lyrics in both of those songs and the way that Rod sings them that makes me completely swoon and gush over his music!

My husband who is 51 years old and a HUGE Rod Stewart fan has been listening to the CD too and his favorite 2 songs are: Sexual Religion and Pure Love. Sigh, it’s nice seeing that “romantic” side to hubby again and trust me…this CD puts you in the “romance” type of mood!

You can shop for the CD and individual songs off the CD by visiting iTunes and Amazon.com. If you love the classic Rod Stewart sound or know someone who does, this new TIME cd is for you and would make a wonderful & thoughtful gift! Love it!

I knew I would be off work for a couple of weeks recuperating from surgery and needed a good book to read when I was contacted by a PR firm to review a newly released book titled “The Unfinished Work of Elizabeth D.” by author Nichole Bernier. Here is some information about the book.

ISBN: 978-0-307-88782-5
Genre: Fiction – Contemporary Women
Publisher: Broadway Paperbacks

Book Synopsis: Summer vacation on Great Rock Island was supposed to be a restorative time for Kate, who’d lost her close friend Elizabeth in a sudden accident. But when she inherits a trunk of Elizabeth’s journals, Kate discovers a woman far different from the cherished wife and mother she thought she knew.

The new portrait of Elizabeth – her troubled upbringing and her route to marriage and motherhood – makes Kate question not just their friendship, but also her deepest beliefs about loyalty and honesty at a period of uncertainty in her own marriage. When an unfamiliar man’s name appears in the pages, Kate realizes how much she didn’t know about her friend, including where Elizabeth was really going the day she died.

The more Kate reads, the more she weighs her own choices as a wife, mother and professional, and is forced to consider the legacy she wants to leave behind.

My Thoughts: I have been waiting to sink my teeth into a good fiction book and finally…I got one! At first I thought this would be a sappy and weepy read with the death of Kate’s friend Elizabeth but…right away the author dives right in to the many secrets of Elizabeth’s life. There is not one, not two…but many interesting secrets in her life and all of these choices, secrets and circumstances shaped Elizabeth into the woman she was on the day of her death.

Kate and Elizabeth were obviously BFF’s (Best Friends Forever) and they had a very close bond and relationship. However, things are not always the way they appear and when Kate learns of Elizabeth’s secrets…she struggles to sort out and define her own life.

I am not going to tell you about the secrets, twists & turns that go on in the pages of this fabulous book (don’t want to spoil it for you) but I will tell you this…I read the entire book in a little less than 5 days! I seriously had a hard time putting it down and found myself looking for excuses to pick it up and read!

This would make an excellent read this Spring & Summer while taking your road trips and summer vacations! My mom is going to borrow the book from me and take it to the beach with her next week. Fabulous, entertaining and interesting read!

If there is one item that is critical for a new baby or grandbaby in the house, it is an excellent carseat and stroller. I know when I had my son, they did not have the cool carseats that lock into the stroller to become one unit. I would have to try and lift my kid out of the car seat without waking him so I could carry him into the grocery store or into the house, etc. It was a delicate thing to do! Boy, am I jealous! This system we are offering for giveaway today is an awesome unit for any mother of grandmother out there. Here is how you can enter.
