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 hug your child not to comfort them, but to comfort yourself. I read that the other day, and it stopped me. Not because of one specific moment—but because of all the moments that aren’t happening as much anymore. The hugs are fewer now. And when they do happen, they’re different…
I really enjoyed the last book I read by Noelle W Ihli. So, for my next read, I chose Ask for Andrea. Meghan, Brecia, and Skye share one chilling connection: they were all murdered by the same man—a charming predator who lures women online and buries them after the first date. He’s escaped justice…
I got this recipe from the Food Network, courtesy of Ina Garten. I did tweak it a little, however. So the recipe and instructions below are my take on her recipe. The whole family had been craving some fried chicken. Wednesdays are usually the one day of the week when we’re free from…
For my next read, I went back to Riley Sager for The House Across the Lake. I really do enjoy his writing. I really do enjoy his writing—not because it’s simple, but because it pulls you in so effortlessly. His stories have a way of unfolding layer by layer, keeping you just grounded enough to…

The sky was soft and light blue, stretching wide above the neighborhood like a calm exhale. The street curved…
So, this is another recipe I found on Facebook. I’m never sure how those will turn out. But this one was a hit with every one of my family members! Plus, it was easy to make. I did double the recipe for our family of five and got Braden to help me make one while…
For my next read, I dove into None of This is True by Lisa Jewell, a story that starts with a seemingly chance encounter—but quickly turns into something much darker. While celebrating her forty-fifth birthday at her local pub, popular podcaster Alix Summer meets a quiet, unassuming woman named…
I’ve gone back and forth on writing this, because weight loss—especially when it involves medications—can feel like a loaded topic. But I’ve been on this journey for a while now, and I wanted to share a simple, honest update. Not to convince anyone to do the same thing. Not to say this is the “right”…
Sometimes something finds you exactly when you need it. My husband sent me a video of a woman reading a poem on Facebook, and I wasn’t expecting much when I clicked on it. But by the time I was done watching, I was in tears. Not because it was sad—but because it felt true in…
