Life’s Little Moments

Good Mood This week, Andrew woke up in a particularly good mood. He was talkative, silly, and a very joyful boy. My wife, Sam, said to him, "You're in a really good mood today!" He looked at her and said, "That's because I didn't wake up with my mean eyebrows!" I'm not sure where he … Continue reading Life’s Little Moments →

Book recommendation: Remarkably Bright Creatures.

I have seen this book come up over and over again on Goodreads, in blogs I follow, and online. You know the old saying, "You can't judge a book by its cover?" Well, that holds true here. This was a book that I just wouldn't have read by looking at it or even after reading … Continue reading Book recommendation: Remarkably Bright Creatures. →

Weekend Review

It's Monday and there is finally a bit of normalcy back in our life. It was a crazy weekend for us. Thursday, Andrew had his surgery. It went better than expected and we were grateful that many of the "possible" surgeries were not needed. This time the recovery went a bit better than the last … Continue reading Weekend Review →

Some Books I’ve Read

It's been a bit since I offered up some thoughts on my recent reads, so I thought I would share a few with you. (The one I am currently reading is very good and will review separately when I finish.) I really enjoyed this book. I certainly gained some insight into Abraham Lincoln and learned … Continue reading Some Books I’ve Read →

Guest Blog: Libraries Are Important!

You have probably noticed that I have been talking about a lot more books recently. This is not by accident. I am reading more. I have always loved to read, but never seem to find the time to do it. I have made it a point to read more and am utilizing the local library … Continue reading Guest Blog: Libraries Are Important! →

Brief Update

I have been reading more over the last few months. As a matter of fact, I've probably read more books in the last 6 months than I did all last year. I just finished up another one from Anthony Horowitz. He has earned a spot on my list of "must read" authors. I went through … Continue reading Brief Update →

The Game Is Afoot

Today I finished The House of Silk by Anthony Horowitz. It was the Sherlock Holmes novel approved by the estate of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. I really enjoyed it. To me, it read much like one of Doyle's Holmes stories. I would imagine that there has to be a bit of pressure for any author … Continue reading The Game Is Afoot →

Turning Pages

I often question whether I should post about books I read. Then I remember that more often than not, I only read that book because some blogger I follow posted about it! Now I understand that just because someone praises a book doesn't mean I will enjoy it. If, however, it sounds like something I … Continue reading Turning Pages →

First Trip To The Library

Between Sam and I, we easily read Ella 5-12 books a day. Usually after we finish one, she signs "more" because she wants to want to hear it again. She really needs a bigger book shelf, because it seems like we are always bringing new books home from the store for her. We signed her … Continue reading First Trip To The Library →
