I have to believe Becoming is one of the best sellers of all time because never in my life have I known multiple people who have read a book and multiple people who have asked to borrow a book (and it’s so good I’m a little leery to lend). Honestly, I didn’t even plan to read … More Fast Four
It’s hard to believe Christmas is only days away! Where does the year go? Here a few things I’m enjoying/admiring these days. Maroon 5 is hands down my favorite band and while my attention is inevitably focused on Adam Levine, I heard PJ Morton had a Christmas album on NPR and will be playing it … More Fast Four
There was a rare warm day not too long ago and we got our family photos taken at a nearby park and I LOVE them! Danny takes such great pictures of other people, it’s nice that we have some good photos of our own. Other things I’m currently up to…. Excited to get organized for the … More Currently
A little home piece/book review – I’ll start with the latter. My Book of the Month selection for September was Nathaniel Philbrick’s In the Hurricane’s Eye. It’s one part naval history and one part George Washington bio. WW2 has always been my main interest so my knowledge of the Revolutionary War has been centered on … More In The Hurricane’s Eye
My book of the month for September was Pat Barker’s The Silence of The Girls, a retelling of The Illiad from the perspective of Breseis, Achilles prized female slave. It was a timely selection given the headlines and a reminder that women have been at the mercy of men for all of time. I read … More The Silence of the Girls

I’ve shared our entire reading list before (here and … More 40 Of Our Favorite Children’s Books
I’m ending my break from blogging. When I decided to stop, the events of the world left me feeling frivolous with my extra-curricular activity but since I stopped I discovered something – blogging can feel superficial but it really does help me to be a better person. Recording my actions and activities motivates me to … More Fast Four
Life is busy. One day it won’t be so in the meantime I’m embracing the chaos and doing my best. We’re going to see the Avengers tomorrow and I can’t wait but totally can wait at the same time. I fear my beloved Captain America will die and I just can’t. MARVEL is my happy space … More Fast Four
I’m exciting for the weekend but hurting too. Kat is coming over for girls night today. Cara is hosting an Easter Egg hunt for the kiddos Saturday and Gina and Lindsey will be there. I need to find a way to see Melissa and Raechel so I can see all my friends in one weekend! … More Fast Four
