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!
I have read a lot of Freida McFadden books at this point, and somehow she still manages to completely catch me off guard. The Divorce was no exception. Once I got into this one, I could not finish it fast enough. I had to know what happened, and let’s just say I was not expecting…
I can say that Darcy Coates has become one of my favorite authors. I love her writing style, and her stories are truly engaging. Ghost Camera was no different. And the best part? This book contained several more stories I could not put down! When Jenine finds an abandoned Polaroid camera, she…
Sometimes the best recipes are the ridiculously simple ones. I came across the idea for these slow cooker ribs online and knew I had to try them. Ribs are one of those meals that can feel like they should require a smoker, a grill, or at least a whole lot of work. These require none…
Tonight, I locked the front door. That probably doesn’t sound significant. But all summer, no matter how late it got, if Devin wasn’t home yet, I left it unlocked for him. He worked a lot this summer. He stayed with friends. He went out and did things. There were plenty of nights when he…
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…
My kiddos, especially the youngest, love wings. They’re a hit no matter what restaurant we go to. But sometimes, the spice can be a little too much for the little one. And I have to admit, I’m not big on too much spice either. So, I found this savory and sweet bone-in wing recipe that…
Oh, do I love Freida! Freida McFadden is one of my favorite authors. Her books are fast and easy and never disappoint. The Ex was no exception. Cassie thinks she has met the perfect man. Joel is sweet, handsome, romantic, and best of all, he’s crazy about Cassie. She thinks she’s found the guy she’ll…
I’ve really been enjoying Riley Sager‘s books. This one, The Last Time I Lied, may be my favorite so far. Two Truths and a Lie. Vivian, Natalie, Allison, and Emma played it all the time in their cabin at Camp Nightingale. But the games ended the night Emma sleepily watched the others…
