I’ve flipped through it and already like what I see– it’s a little bit party planning, a little bit recipe book, and a little bit memoir. I just got my copy and I can’t wait to dig into it. ![]() If you’re a fan of Reese Witherspoon, you probably know by now that her first book Whiskey in a Teacup just came out. ![]() ![]() ![]() This parental love is often the first and most important love a person will ever experience. ![]() In the book, the mother is stressed by the behavior of the son, but still continues to crawl into his room at night, hold him in her arms, and sing to him.
