Who knew sharing a room with my best friend would lead to a baby bump… Listen he is a great guy. I get it, on paper he’s perfect. Handsome, smart, and well off. Totally ‘the one’ material…for someone else. To me he’s just Drew, one of my best friends, and only a friend. My focus has always been on raising my sisters, love was never something I had time for. But now that they are all grown and on their own I admit I’m feeling like an empty nester. A 30 something, never been married or had children of my own, empty nester. That sounds way worse than it is. I’m happy with my life, well at least I was until I took Drew as my plus one to my sister’s wedding and had to pretend to be his girlfriend so his ex wouldn’t ruin the entire trip. We may have taken our rouse a little too far, but I have to admit being wrapped up in the sheets with him was better than I ever could have imagined. Okay, so maybe I’ve had a bit of a crush on him before this, but I had it under control. Everything was fine until his tasty lips touched mine. When his ex exposes some secrets with the proof to back it up I’m left not knowing who to believe. Or if I should reveal a little secret of my own.

In his never-ending quest to learn more about the fascinating world around him, Beau is a child who wants to know "Why?"

The only thing better than naptime is naptime with a friend. Theo the puppy (part-Boxer, part-Shepherd, part-Labrador, part-Sharpei) was rescued by Beau, a twenty-three-month-old toddler, and his family from an animal shelter in Santa Cruz. The two of them instantly became best friends. And every day at naptime, Theo waits for Beau to fall asleep, then curls up next to him. Theo and Beau were already a viral sensation thanks to the "unbearably adorable," "utterly charming" photos that author (Beau's mother) Jessica Shyba has been posting on her popular blogMomma's Gone City. And now, she's matched the very sweetest of them to a charming bedtime text to make a board book that is (as Alyssa Milano said of the blog) "so cute it hurts."

When Mama Pearl washes their favorite blanket it's a sad day for best friends Bubba and Beau, but it gets worse when she decides the baby boy and his puppy need baths, too.
