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!
I noticed something the other day while scrolling through my phone. It was not anything dramatic or surprising, just quietly obvious once I saw it. There are very few photos or videos of me. There are tons of them of my kids. Devin, Braden, and Austin at different ages and stages. School events…
Working from home sounds flexible. And it is. But it is also layered. You are answering emails while the dishwasher runs. You are on a call while mentally calculating what’s for dinner. You are home, but not always available. AI can help reduce the mental switching. Create a Realistic Daily…
I just finished the Jade Monroe FBI Series and quickly turned to one of my favorite authors, Freida McFadden. This time, I’ve read The Crash. In Part I, we meet Teagan, who is 8 months pregnant. She works at the grocery store, picking up extra shifts and nearly-expired food when possible. She…
This time, I turned to a physical book by Darcy Coates called Dead of Winter. It was another recommendation I saw many times, and one that Devin gave me for Christmas. It looks great, and I love the cover! (I should have read this during our snowstorm a few weeks ago!) This book focuses on…

I finished all 12 of the FBI Agent Jade Monroe Live or Die Series by C.M. Sutter. And let me tell you why I give it 5 out of 5 stars. I won’t go into each book specifically, since I’ve already done that in each post. What I will say is that I sped through…
Last, but not least, is Book 12 of the FBI Agent Jade Monroe Live or Die Series by C.M. Sutter: Blood Brother. A sadistic serial killer emerges from the shadows and is calling the shots. He zeroes in on one person, and now she’s in his crosshairs with no escape. Jade vanishes without a trace…
Next to last in the FBI Agent Jade Monroe Live or Die Series by C.M. Sutter is Book 11: Blood Betrayal. Chilling similarities between recent murders in Wichita and Kansas City set FBI Special Agent Jade Monroe on a dangerous and deadly path. And after pressing her supervisor for the go-ahead, she…
After writing about my introduction to peptides, I realized there was another piece that felt important to share. Before anything else, before products, protocols, or opinions, there are questions. This post is not about telling anyone what to take or how to do it. It is about how I approached…
