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!
And just like that, summer is over. The boys went back to school this morning, and I’m feeling a little bittersweet about it. We fell right back into that familiar school morning rhythm of getting everyone up, ready, and out the door on time. But it was still kind of sad to see them go…
If You Tell by Gregg Olsen is a survivor’s story of absolute evil. And if you’re squeamish, don’t pick this one up! I’m serious. There were parts that were really hard to read, especially knowing this is a true story. After more than a decade, when sisters Nikki, Sami, and Tori Knotek hear the…

If your family loves mac and cheese, you’re going to want to save this recipe. These Air Fryer Mac and Cheese Bites take a classic comfort food and turn it into crispy, bite-sized snacks that are perfect for lunch, dinner, parties, or even after-school treats. One of my favorite things about…
Freida McFadden has become one of my favorite authors. I never thought anything could top the Housemaid Series. But her book, Brain Damage, may have done just that. After years of hard work, Dr. Charly McKenna finally has it all. Prosperous career as a dermatologist? Check. Spacious apartment…
Sometimes you just need a dinner that’s simple, satisfying, and doesn’t require a trip to the grocery store for a bunch of specialty ingredients. These Garlic Herb Butter Boneless Pork Chops have quickly become one of our favorite weeknight meals because they’re packed with flavor…
Oh my, Noelle W. Ihli did it again. I absolutely loved her book, Such Quiet Girls. But this one may be even better. I feel it’s in my top 5, definitely a new favorite. It has stuck with me since I finished it late last night. Yes, it was so good, I once again stayed…
