My Blog about stuff – family, sports, travel, and cooking.
My blog is almost like my journal. I keep track of my kids’ various activities, from Taekwondo to Soccer to Band. I also spend time writing about our various travels, whether to family or one of the many soccer events we attend. You might also find a good recipe, or two!
My next read was The Woman in Cabin 10 by Ruth Ware. I wasted to read this before watching the movie on Netflix. I’ve heard both are very good, and the book did not disappoint. We follow Lo Blacklock, a travel magazine writer who is going on a one-week luxury cruise. This is truly the…
Book 3 in the FBI Agent Jade Monroe Live or Dies Series by C.M. Sutter is Blood Reckoning. Instead of getting a rare Saturday off, Jade is quickly called back to service when five homeless people are murdered overnight. The daughter of the Milwaukee mayor is among a set of five people murdered days…
The next book in the FBI Agent Jade Monroe Live or Dies Series by C.M. Sutter is Blood Trail. Blood Trail is book 2 in the series. This time, Jade Monroe and her partner, Lorenzo DeLeon, along with two other seasoned agents, head to South Dakota and Wyoming, where girls have been kidnapped. I have…
Oh my, what a great read! I finished Blood in the Bayou by C. M. Sutter in a matter of days. It held my attention every step of the way. It read much like a CSI or Criminal Minds episode and I loved it! We start with Jade Monroe, an FBI agent who’s starting a…
For my next read, I chose The Teacher, another psychological thriller from Freida McFadden told through shifting perspectives that slowly reveal how unreliable first impressions can be. I really do love her books. Eve and Nate appear to be the perfect power couple at Caseham High. Eve is a math…
I have never been big on traditional New Year’s resolutions. The kind that sound good on January 1st and quietly fade by February. What I want for 2026 feels different. It feels steadier. More grown up. More rooted in where we are and where we want to go. This year, my focus is financial stability…
For my next read, I chose The Body at Blackwell Lake: An Amateur Sleuth Paranormal Mystery by A.M. Caplan. It’s the first book I’ve read from her, and I was not disappointed. This was an interesting read because it was more of a mystery thriller than a psychological thriller. We learn…
For most of my adult life, I’ve done “all the right things.” I’ve tried diets. I’ve exercised. I’ve bought the programs, the products, and the plans that promised to finally make things click. Sometimes I’d see short-term progress, but it never lasted. And it often came with frustration, guilt, or…
I loved the last book so much, I thought I’d continue with another psychological book. Ward D by Freida McFadden was the perfect choice. This book was fantastic. And I know I say that a lot. But I guess I’m just really enjoying reading so much that all the books I read seem wonderful to…
