Have you ever read a novel that stabbed you in the heart? Convicted you for something you had no idea was an issue in your life? Left you sobbing (no, really, sobbing) at the last words? Well. That happened to me the other day.… Continue Reading “In Black and White”
Monday I put up a give away here on the blog. You would enter to win a fabulous piece of jewelry from my Etsy Shop, Inspired Novelties. Fun, right? Come here. I have to tell you a secret. It was really a ploy… Continue Reading “And The Winner Is…”
It is a regular site in my home. To see my three kiddos sitting together on the couch with books. My daughter often reads to her brothers. I often sit with them. Sometimes I read to them. Sometimes I let them “read” to me… Continue Reading “Reading is FUNdamental”

My daughter got her very first bee sting this summer. I was able to calm her cries of pain with some ice and a few hugs and kisses. She told me all the facts about bees that she’s learned from the Wild Kratz and… Continue Reading “Little Miss Tender Heart”
Just being honest with myself here. If you’re living in America, you probably aren’t reading this post today. You’re grilling hot dogs, spitting watermelon seeds at someone, setting things on fire and hoping that you come away with both eyes and all 10 fingers.… Continue Reading “July 4”
