... you come home from a 10-day vacation to find 53 review books waiting on your doorstep and in your mailbox ...



Yes, really.

My husband snapped these photos of my unwashed, ticked-off looking self picking up our accumulated mail/packages on Saturday when we returned from a 10-day trip to Utah.  I'm not sure why I look so bothered, since I was actually as giddy as a little kid at Christmas.  I guess that's what 10 hours in the car with five kids (mine + a friend) will do to a person!

As much as I love to travel, it's also really nice being home—especially when I have lots of fun packages to open.  I won't be melting in this Arizona heat for too long, though.  The fam and I will be boarding a plane bound for upstate New York on Saturday.  After a week of sightseeing, I'll return home, hopefully to another awesome book haul :)
