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!
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…
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…
