And speaking of 2017, I’ve got a lot of exciting plans for Life With Dee. I’ll be sharing more in the days to come but for one thing, in the coming year each month will have its own theme. Not only will this theme be reflected in the posts but also in book club selections.PLUS! There will be some interviews with experts in the theme of the month. All of this information and more will then be collected in easy-to-access pages within the blog for future reference.
Themes for the month… Sounds fun!
