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!
Devin has entered his senior year of high school. Now that I’ve picked myself up off the floor after typing that, I want to take a moment to reflect on some of the things I’m going to miss. I’m so proud of the young man Devin has become. He’s matured so much over the past…
Well, it’s here already — another season of Crew. Tryouts Braden decided that his soccer career was over. And that’s ok. I’ll miss watching him play and practice, but I also understand that his heart isn’t in it. Devin will continue, of course. He cannot get enough play time!…
Wow, this book was written so well! The imagery in Sometimes I Lie, by Alice Feeney, was amazingly good. I can’t imagine what it’d be like to be in a coma. To hear things but not be ‘awake.’ To think things are happening, but they’re just a dream. Or are they? To not remember what…
We tried this recipe for the first time recently and were instantly hooked! It was also simple to make. It’s definitely a recipe we’ll be doing again very soon! You’ll notice my version does not have spinach in it. To my husband’s dismay, none of the rest of us like cooked…
Well, this book hurt. The Exorcist’s House: Genesis, by Nick Roberts, really stayed with me. I kept thinking about it long after I had finished the book. So many sad parts. How do you fight evil? Real evil? Demons? The Devil? I was sad to let these characters go. I wanted them all to live…
Our family loves shrimp! All kinds. This is a great classic that works for any night of the week…
I know I keep saying this. But The Exorcist’s House, by Nick Roberts, needs to be a movie. I’d pay money to see it in a theater. It’s that good. I compared it to an early Supernatural episode. In 1994, the Hills moved to a farmhouse in West Virginia. It’s beautiful and serene. But they…
Such Quiet Girls, by Noelle West Ihli, was inspired by true events. And it actually reminded me a lot of Under the Beetles’ Cellar. Ten children and their bus driver are buried alive after being abducted in broad daylight. The bus driver, Jessa, blames herself, and so does Sage, one of the…
This book took me a while to get into. But it wasn’t the book’s fault. Life just doesn’t always allow me to read! But I’m so glad I finished it. Follow You Home, by Mark Edwards, starts off with Daniel and Laura taking a trip of a lifetime before settling down. But when they encounter…
