I am halfway through Giddy Up, Eunice: Because Women Need Each Other, and before I even finished it I felt like I NEED to tell women about this book.
It has been food for my soul. I didn’t even make it through the intro without crying and laughing out loud. Although the crying could be from pregnancy hormones. #fourweekstogo
I have followed the author, Sophie Hudson, online for years and have heard her speak in person.
She is a high school counselor, humorous/inspirational writer who also records a hilarious podcast.
And what I love about her is she is so good at making me laugh and challenging me in the same paragraph.
Anyone who can speak on reality TV binges and what we can learn from the relationship between Mary and Elizabeth on the same book page is my kind of person. :)
If you are a woman: married, single, divorced or widowed; you need to read this book because women do need each other.
And Sophie shares this truth in her endearing Mississippi writing voice like no other can.
And because I also think all women need big earrings:
Shelly Dolen created a new line of big metallic earrings that look like metal, but are actually are made of leather (and weigh basically nothing)! I love BIG earrings, but the heavy ones give me headaches. There are tons of styles, and I want them ALL. :)
And to top it off for every pair of earrings that Shelly sells she donates a pair to the charity Dress for Success working wardrobe. It’s basically a win win earring situation.
So two readers will receive a copy of Giddy Up, Eunice: Because Women Need Each Other and a pair of earrings from Shelly Dolen’s website (style of your choice).

Love this, Rene! I’ll definitely pick up a copy of this book ASAP as I could desperately use some humor in my life right about now. :) Since Summer is my least favorite season (sorry) I’ll have to go with watermelon being in season. Thanks for the intro to this book!!!
I, like you, love all the fresh fruits and vegetables. I also love that we get to spend more time with our children and grandchildren. Sounds like a great new book.
