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!
What. Did. I. Just. Read. And I mean that in a good way. One of my favorite books so far is Lucinda Berry’s Phantom Limb. Well, One of Our Own is another great one from this author. It starts quickly. It ends horribly. Felicia, a single mother and lawyer by day, volunteers at a local…
I have to hand it to Freida McFadden once again. Her book, Brain Damage, was short, fun, and amazingly twisty. I’ve loved all her books so far, and this is no exception. With all hope of an appeal fading away, the fate of a condemned murderess takes a shocking turn in a breathtaking short story…
This is the first book I’ve read from Jeneva Rose, and I have to say I was not disappointed. At all! I could not read this book fast enough. Why do I stay up so late reading when I need to get to bed? Because books like Home is Where the Bodies Are are so…

Freida does it again! This time, with The Surrogate Mother. I love all her books, and this one is no exception. In fact, I’d put it up there with The Housemaid series. Abby wants a baby more than anything. But after years of failed infertility treatments and adoptions that have fallen through…
There’s just something comforting about a perfectly baked potato. Crispy on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside, and piled high with your favorite toppings—it never goes out of style. The first time I made baked potatoes in the air fryer, I couldn’t believe how much better the…
The Woman in the Cabin by Becca Day was a first for me from this author. But this book was so delicious, I’ll be looking for more from her! Every day, in a remote cabin hidden deep in the woods in the Scottish Highlands, Mary wakes up before dawn to make breakfast from scratch. She…
Dr. Willa Watters is a prominent child psychologist at the height of her career. But when a viral video of a disastrous television interview puts her reputation on the line, Willa retreats to Broken Bayou, the town where she spent most of her childhood summers. There she visits her aunts’ old house…
My next read was 6:40 to Montreal by Eva Jurczyk. This is a new author for me but I was not disappointed! Agatha’s husband has bought her a first-class ticket on the scenic six-hour train from Toronto to Montreal as a gift―a one-day writing retreat so she can get some serious work done on her…
