Happy LEAP DAY! Yesterday, I got a tooth pulled and a cavity filled. I was told to take it slow so that's what I've been doing. Last Friday, the family drove to Albuquerque, NM for daughter's dance competition. It was about a seven hour drive. We arrived around 11:30pm and all went straight to bed.... Continue Reading →

I won The Whispers of War by Julia Kelly on Goodreads. I read Kelly's other book, The Light Over London a couple of years ago and really enjoyed it. Her writing style is superb and really puts you into the story. She also has fabulous covers. They depict the era so perfectly. I can't wait... Continue Reading →
The day before Valentine's Day, husband and I went to Loveland. This was our second time going since the new year. Husband didn't snowboard as much this time. The visibility had gotten pretty bad by the time he started going down the hills. I was able to get some editing done and wanted to stay... Continue Reading →
Happy New Year! I can't believe it's already February and Valentine's Day is this Friday. All this technology leaves us no time to enjoy the mundane.

I went for it. Got Photoshop CC. It comes with Lightroom which... Continue Reading →

This isn't the full haul. I was planning on splitting it into a few different ones but I'm finding that I don't have a lot of time especially because it's the holiday season. I've been doing NaNoWriMo and should be done here within the next few days. Then, I plan to work on December Daily.... Continue Reading →
Happy Halloween! Processed with VSCO with b5 preset The kids don't trick-or-treat anymore. My oldest just started a part-time job so she's working today. It's going to be busy so I hope she handles it well. My youngest is trying to finish all her homework so she could help hand out candy. This year, the... Continue Reading →
It was a few years back when I first stumbled upon The Night Angel Trilogy by Brent Weeks. I can't remember how I found this trilogy but I loved it so much that I couldn't find it in me to read his new release, The Lightbringer. I waited about a year before I gave in... Continue Reading →
