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 was another book so highly recommended by the Psychological Facebook group. And I’m so glad I read it. Verity, by Colleen Hoover, starts out with a writer, Lowen, being asked to continue the work of Verity, a well-known and beloved author who is bedridden, unable to continue her series. Turns…
Apparently, I’m on an avocado kick because this is the second recipe I’ve done in the last few weeks that has avocado in it. But let me tell you, it’s not just easy, but it tastes amazing. I saw this recipe online and just had to try it. Seriously, it’s really that simple…
Hidden Pictures, by Jason Rekulak, was an amazing book. I am so glad I joined the Facebook group that recommends such wonderful stories. I seriously could have read this in one day. Life always gets in the way, but it makes the stories worth coming back to. The main character, Mallory, is fresh out…
Solo & Ensemble is an event held every year at Deer Creek where students come to perform a solo or ensemble (or sometimes both!) in front of a judge or judges. They’re looking for everything like sound, tuning, technical ability, etc. Devin has performed in Solo & Ensemble for several…
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…
After reading The Housemaid, I couldn’t wait to read the second installment by Freida McFadden, The Housemaid’s Secret. Was this going to be similar to the first? What has Millie been going through since the incidents with the Winchesters? I really couldn’t wait to jump in. And I was not…
Freida McFadden is mentioned numerous times in various Facebook groups. I thought I’d start with The Housemaid. It’s a three-book series, but it seems like most people really enjoyed it. They weren’t wrong. This book follows the main character, Millie, a desperate woman looking for a job. With her…
