It has been a long time since I have written a book review or report but after reading this one by Joanna Gaines, I felt compelled to write an honest review.

While the notion of living out our days at the beach sounds like a dream, the reality is we are busy, hardworking people just trying to tackle life’s daily challenges and find the inspiration to really create the life we want.
