Unbridled A Memoir by Barbara McNally

Unbridled: A Memoir by Barbara McNally  is one of the most interesting memoir which I have read to date. Barbara was brought up as a Baptist. She had always been the obedient daughter who engaged in youth activities at the church and played the role of an obedient and subservient wife to her husband. Her world seems picture perfect however it was far from that as she felt really restrained and cage in by her current life. She felt stifled and it ended up in her having an affair resulting in the end of her marriage.

It felt like a time of awakening when she got a divorced. Barbara went on a self discovery journey about her Irish roots and herself. She went through a whole series of emotions highs and lows as she rediscovered herself and became more in-sync with herself and accepting herself for who she really is.

My thoughts

Reading the book got me thinking of how important it is to understand and be true to yourself. It is one thing to live the life which you are comfortable with. You shouldn’t let others dictate how you should live your life but be in control of your own life.

You can purchase Unbridled: A Memoir by Barbara McNally from Amazon.

Bonding Over the Weekend

During the weekend the kids and I  were at  West Coast plaza where we saw that there were free art and craft activities for kids. Kids under 12 were invited to take part in the activities. The kids got the chance to make their own personalized recycled bag using stencils for the paint on design.

All three of them chose the submarine design and were busy cutting out the design from the paper.  As Tiger girl and Doggie boy were not very good at cutting out the design so I helped them cut the design out while the organizers prepared the stencils for use.

After the design was stenciled onto bag the kids used the makers to decorate her bag.

I feel that it’s cool that there are such activities for the kids to try out in the malls during the weekend. During the weekdays we do not have much time to let them these activities so it’s great that they get to do so during the weekend.

 

Do they have such activities where you live?
