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 have to admit it took me a while to start this book. The Life We Bury, by Allen Eskens, had been sitting on top of my pile for quite some time, always getting passed up by other books, before I finally decided to start it. I also have trouble starting most books anyway because…
Oh man. Saving Noah, by Lucinda Berry, was an awful book, but in a good way. If that makes any sense. A family is ripped apart when the older brother, the star athlete, is a pedophile. The dad and mom separate, with the younger daughter going to live with the father. The father is not…
The Housemaid is Watching is the third book in the Housemaid Series by Freida McFadden. Just like with the first two, this one did not disappoint! The first two were similar but with wildly different twists. What was this one going to be like? You really get to see the evolution of Millie. She now…

Stolen Tongues, by author Felix Blackwell, tugged at my supernatural-loving heartstrings. The main characters, Felix and Faye, go to her family’s cabin to celebrate their engagement. But odd things start to happen. Supernatural things. Moans and screams are heard in the woods. So are the sounds of…
Local Woman Missing was my second book to read this year, and I absolutely loved it. This was a book I saw recommended in the Psychological Thrillers Facebook group, and I’m so glad they did. It’s written by Mary Kubica, an author I’ll be sure to follow. A woman goes missing. Then…
I know that avocado toast is an easy thing that doesn’t require a recipe. But just in case, here’s a super simple way to eat a delicious and healthy breakfast (or snack!)…
I used to be an avid reader. When I was young, I read all the time in my room. But as I got older, reading became a chore for school, and I no longer enjoyed it. But during Spring Break this past year, I was home alone, just the dogs and me. I decided to…
