You Inspire Me: One Step at a Time


This weeks inspirations come from Stacie at One Step at a Time. Stacie seems like such a sweet person, and she's one of the few people out there who doesn't have a Facebook! Be sure to check out her blog!
 


Stacie's movie recommendation was Brokedown Palace. I've always heard of this movie but have never seen it. So one night while Danny was at work, I sat myself down and popped the  movie in!

Alice and Darlene take a little summer vacation to Thailand, but their parents think they are in Hawaii. While they are there they befriend a guy named Nick...and are soon, to their surprise, they are caught smuggling drugs. After Darlene signs a fake confession they are sentenced to 33 years in prison. As the girls friendship falls apart, so does their legal case.

I really liked this movie, especially the ending...it is a true story of real friendship. I recommend this flick!

For her book recommendation she said she liked The O'Malley series by Dee Henderson. I decided on the prequel Danger in the Shadows. I've never heard of it...and I'll be honest I wasn't really looking forward to reading it.



Sara is afraid and falling in love all at the same time. The FBI protects her, she writes children books, and has to change identities constantly. You need to read this book to figure out why!

I really liked this book. I read it in less than 12 hours (I love snow days!) It was such a simple, easy book to read...and I couldn't wait to see how it ended. I liked Sara, but at the same time she bugged me. I know something awful happened to her but she acted YEARS younger than 31. The other thing I couldn't figure out, "why is it called The O'Malley Series?" I guess I'll need to read the rest of the series to figure it out!

Stacie's food recommendation was amazing. She doesn't cook, she eats whatever her hubby makes! So, I stepped out of the kitchen while Danny made me dinner! He made me some super yummy olive and pepperoni pizza! YUM!

Great recommendations Stacie! I'll be honest, I didn't think I was going to like the book or the movie. Thank you for proving me wrong!
