My 2025 Book Round Up

I thought that 2025 would solely be filled with board books. Boy was I wrong. Newborn Willow was just as into Onyx Storm as I was. Don’t worry, I skipped over the spicy parts. Once I figured out that I didn’t actually have to read a newborn the same 10 board books over and overContinue reading “My 2025 Book Round Up”

The Best Movies I Watched in 2025

It’s the end of the year so I’m here to give you some of my favorite things this year and to promise that in 2026, I’ll post more. I recently read “On Writing” by Stephen King (which I highly recommend – easily one of my favorite books I’ve ever read) and he points out thatContinue reading “The Best Movies I Watched in 2025”

July 2024 in Books

Yeah, 2 months in a row where I didn’t take a reading while out and about picture. It’s not that I forget, it’s just that I… don’t remember 🙂 There is a difference. It’s mostly that when I get somewhere, I don’t remember to bring my book or I have a small purse that dayContinue reading “July 2024 in Books”

Chef’s Tour of Pike Place

This trip in May marked the 5th (I think) time Jacob and I have gone to Seattle together. It’s our favorite place to go to – the flight is short and inexpensive and there’s always fun things to do. This trip, I wanted to try and do something we’ve never done before. I booked allContinue reading “Chef’s Tour of Pike Place”

February 2023 in Books

Something crazy happened this month. I listened to my first (new) audiobook. I’ve listened to Harry Potter in audiobook form, but it was more of a background music/comfort thing. When I got my current job (over 8 years ago), I knew I would be driving a lot so I tried out an audiobook. I immediatelyContinue reading “February 2023 in Books”

January 2023 in Books

Boy, I really hope that January 2023 doesn’t set a precedence for how the rest of 2023 will be. Sure, I was in Mexico for week one [fantastic, got a great tan] but a week after getting back, my husband got the flu! Thankfully, I didn’t get his full blown sickness – it felt moreContinue reading “January 2023 in Books”

December 2022 in Books

Why do I always think that December is going to be chill? Most of my December weekends were fully booked by mid-November. Not to mention that at work, this is the busiest time to of the year. But here I was, at the end of November, going “Man, I can’t wait to chill in December.”Continue reading “December 2022 in Books”

Friday Favorites: Shows I’ve Already Binged in 2021

2021 is only 2 months deep and I can already claim 4 television shows that I’ve binged. When you can’t really go anywhere or hang out with anyone, what else are you going to do? Thankfully, 2 of these shows only have 1 season so far (both picked up for season) that’s fully out. OneContinue reading “Friday Favorites: Shows I’ve Already Binged in 2021”
