Thoughts on “The Maid”

I have an account on Goodreads. If you are looking for a book, they have many lists that you can browse. "Best books of the 20th Century," "Best Thrillers of the Past Year," "Books You Should Read at Least Once in Your Life," Etc... Every year they have a "Best of" list for the various … Continue reading Thoughts on “The Maid” →

We’ve Gone to the Dogs!

We've talked about getting a dog for some time. Sam has always wanted a dog, but there were so many things that we needed to do first. We don't have a fully fenced in yard, for example. We also were concerned with how the dog would react to the kids - not to mention our … Continue reading We’ve Gone to the Dogs! →

Book Recommendation: Moonflower Murders

I just finished another of Anthony Horowitz' books and I have come to really enjoy them. This is a follow up to The Magpie Murders, which has a similar premise. It's a book - with a book inside. Does that make sense? It's two murder mysteries for the price of one. Here is the Amazon/Goodreads … Continue reading Book Recommendation: Moonflower Murders →

Friday Photo Flashback

It's been a few weeks since I have done one of these posts. I neglected to write about a pretty big event this week, so let's go back 21 years ago. My oldest son, Dante', was born 21 years ago this week. It is so hard to believe that it has been that long. They … Continue reading Friday Photo Flashback →

Phone Upgrade Headache

A while back, my phone's screen cracked despite having one of those tempered glass screen protectors on it. I called Verizon and because I had insurance on it I was able to get a replacement. Sadly, the replacement they sent was a refurbished one that really never seemed to perform like the one I had. … Continue reading Phone Upgrade Headache →

Spring Scooter!

Ok, not THAT Scooter! Sam went to the store today and saw that the had scooters on sale. These were the ones with two wheels in the front. She couldn't pass up the deal and grabbed one for each kid. I woke up a bit early this afternoon and it was such a nice day … Continue reading Spring Scooter! →

The End of Tupperware?

As a child who grew up in the 1970's, I was surrounded by Tupperware. I'm pretty sure my mom probably hosted a Tupperware party more than a few times. For younger readers, a Tupperware party would be pretty much the same as a Essential Oils Party or Pampered Chef Party today. EVERYONE I knew used … Continue reading The End of Tupperware? →

Easter Weekend Recap

I hope your Easter weekend was as good as mine. It seemed like we were constantly on the go, but it was filled with many wonderful moments. I worked Friday night, so I came home and went right to sleep. Sam's mom and dad were hosting Easter dinner on Saturday afternoon. I grabbed a few … Continue reading Easter Weekend Recap →

Turntable Talk – This Song’s Going Places

Once again, Dave over at A Sound Day has offered up a new topic for his Turntable Talk feature and has asked me to contribute. His thoughts of holiday getaways and Spring Break led to this month's topic. Our instructions: "Tell us about a song (or album) you like that is all about going places. … Continue reading Turntable Talk – This Song’s Going Places →

Happy Easter

Wishing you a very Happy Easter. For me, this is the day I celebrate my risen Savior, Jesus Christ. His death, burial, and resurrection are the foundations of my faith. Without them (and Him) I would be lost and without hope. I rejoice today with those who share my faith. A weekend update is coming. … Continue reading Happy Easter →
