I tried, January and February, I really did. I tried to like you. I tried to embrace you. I am sorry. I am ready to say goodbye. And darn you, February, going and adding one more day to yourself this year (Happy Birthday, Leap Year Babies). I know that gratitude is the key to happiness… […]
The last time Jason and I were in a casino, we had to ask where to put our quarters. We did not realize that the days of inserting actual coins were long gone and that everything had become digitalized. In addition to this naiveté, we were also the first of our group that night to […]
Remember how I love to make book stacks? It’s time to build a big one for 2020. January was a bit scattered around here, and my reading routine followed suit. I have been piling titles, however, and looking longingly at them. My to-read list is always growing exponentially. I wish I could keep up. A […]

I am excited to talk books today! Do you keep track of the books you read? Back in the day BK (Before Kids) when I was loyally committed to a book club, I would keep track of each book in a small notebook and give each title a rating from 1 to 10*. As life […]
Autumn has passed in such a beautiful and quick manner. Quite suddenly, we are buying turkeys, pinning Christmas shopping ideas, and sailing straight toward a New Year.
