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!

For my next book, I read The Place of Many Trees from the Sadie Gray FBI Mystery Series by RB Schow. This time, Sadie Gray and Brad Tulle are sent to the remote forests of Northern California after multiple bodies are discovered hanging from trees, each marked with the same ritualistic symbol. What…

Another one down from the Sadie Gray FBI Mystery Series! This time, Sadie Gray goes undercover in The Girl With No Tomorrow by RB Schow. After everything she’s been through, this next case takes Sadie completely out of her comfort zone and into a much more isolated, high-risk environment. Without…
