BLOOM!

While everyone is SO consumed with the 50 Shades of Grey series.. 

(not to say I haven't read them)

But, I wanted to take some time to mention a book I read recently 

by a fellow blogger that touched my heart. 

Bloom was written by Kelle Hampton 

She also has a blog which is so appropriately

titled "Enjoying the Small Things".

I first heard about this book on Instagram...

someone IG'd a picture of the cover and 

I am always intrigued by book covers. I 

quickly grabbed my Ipad and read

the description and download the

sample onto my iBooks. After quickly reading

the sample I then purchased my very own copy

and proceeded to read it in less than 24 hours.. and 

I cried.

 I cried every.single.chapter. 

It was the most touching book I have ever read. 

The writing is phenomenal

and I felt like most of the book that I was sitting having a

conversation with her and she was recounting

all the moments just as they happened.

The book is written about Kelle's

daughter, Nella. All through Kelle's pregnancy

she was never given any indication to think anything was

wrong with the beautiful baby girl growing inside of her.

Nella was born with Downs Syndrome and this

book is just the beginning of her amazing story.

And it truly gives meaning to the title of the book..

bloom

finding beauty in the unexpected

This book left me feeling so touched, thankful and in awe 

of God's grace. I totally recommend it.
