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!
This is one of our go-to salmon recipes. It’s easy and so good. I’ll marinate the salmon as it’s thawing all day in the sink. Or, marinate in the fridge for several hours…
While I was reading Nick Roberts’ The Exorcist’s House books, I added It Haunts the Mind: and Other Stories to my reading list. And I’m so glad I did! I just really love the multiple short story format. Each chapter is something completely different. It really kept me entertained…
Wow! Another great book from Mary Kubica, who wrote Local Woman Missing! She’s Not Sorry starts with a bang. Meghan is in the city shopping when she receives a call from a man who has her daughter, Sienna. Who is it? Rewind to a previous time, and you learn more about Meghan and her daughter…
It’s been a year since we adopted Ruby and Mac. We got them in August 2024. As I mentioned in the last blog post about them, we had originally just wanted to adopt Ruby. But Mac tagged along, and we fell in love with him. I am so happy we ended up with both, too…
This was another great read from Freida McFadden. The Boyfriend kept me guessing the whole time. It’s split between several people’s perspectives and timeframes. And I usually don’t try to guess the ending or the twists, but this time I swear I had it right. I didn’t. I was so wrong! The premise is…
We are here already. The summer flew by in the blink of an eye. We played card games, went swimming, watched movies, played golf, went on soccer trips (is there any other kind?), went to Skyzone, and so much more. But it was gone before we knew it. And here we are. At the beginning…
After the last book, I needed a palate cleanser. And The Housemaid’s Wedding was just perfect for that. I really like Freida McFadden and how she writes. I know it’s not for everyone, but she’s easy to read and still has a great story and fantastic twists. This book did not disappoint. This is a…
This one was tough. Raised by a Killer, by Sea Caummisar, is a set of 10 books, so it took me a lot longer to read. But it was also a tough one to read due to the abuse that little Deicide endured. The first book starts at age 4. Yes, she was only 4…
School starts on August 14th, and just like that, summer is winding down. It went by fast—some days were long, but the season as a whole felt like a blink. We packed a lot into these few months, and I wanted to capture just a bit of it before the calendar fills with school supplies…
