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!
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…
I really thought The Missing, by Kiersten Modglin, was going to be like the other missing-type books I’ve read. I was wrong and pleasantly surprised. Because of the way this book starts, with a woman swindling people out of their money by pretending to be someone she’s not, I really had the idea in…
So it turns out that Unspeakable Things, by Jess Lourey, was inspired by a true story from the author’s hometown. This makes me love it even more! Cassie lives on a farm in Minnesota in the 1980s. She’s made to work the farm, and her dad is hard on her and her sister. But this…
So, this recipe is so super simple. But it’s really, really good! And it’s a perfect meal for a busy weeknight. All you need is chicken breast and the Kinder Japanese BBQ marinade…
This book was just wow. Another one I’d love to see as a movie. That’s Not My Name, by Megan Lally, starts with a girl waking up on the side of the road. She’s bruised and cold and doesn’t know how she got there. An officer finds her and takes her back to the station…
This book made my heart race! Missing, by Ruby Speechley, was a great book that made me more anxious as it went on. My anxiety rose with the characters. This book is set in England. Ellie, a single mom, sees a missing person post on Facebook. But it’s of her own son, who’s clearly not…
