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!
Sometimes you just need a snack that feels a little special without requiring much effort. These cinnamon sugar air fryer apple chips are one of my favorite simple treats because they use ingredients I almost always have on hand and make the whole kitchen smell amazing. The air fryer transforms thin…
After taking the summer off, it’s time to figure out what’s next. The problem? I’ve done a little bit of everything in my career, and I still don’t know exactly what I want to do next…

I decided it was time to kick off spooky season with Murder Road by Simone St. James. Yes, I know it’s only September, but I’m ready for fall, I’m ready for Halloween, and apparently I’m ready for creepy roads, ghosts, and murder mysteries, too! This was my first Simone St…
I turned to another Jess Lourey thriller, The Quarry Girls, after absolutely loving Unspeakable Things. I’d heard The Quarry Girls was even better, which gave it a lot to live up to. I was not disappointed. In fact, this one might have just moved into the top spot. Amazon Summary Minnesota, 1977…

There are some dinners that look and taste like they should require a whole lot more work than they actually do. This Skillet Chicken Tortelloni Alfredo is definitely one of them. Cheese-filled tortelloni, chicken, and a homemade Parmesan Alfredo sauce all come together in one skillet. You start…
