There are so many books lately about the world of the wealthy and elite. They can be hit or miss for me, but this one was a hit!
I enjoyed that while the rich, opulent feel was everywhere, it wasn’t always celebrated. The story offered a view of the problems that can arise, and I enjoyed that. The women in this story are the highlight. There are strong personalities that really stand out and watching the changes that the women take on was wonderful.

100 Days of Adventure is a book filled with ideas, projects, and activities to do with children that do not require an electronic. I really enjoy this book, and I truly think it’s full of fantastic things to do!

I loved that there was a wide range of options to choose from, and there are definitely some that we’ll do again!
