The last couple of weeks in July, husband and I took a cruise vacation to Costa Maya and Cozumel, Mexico. It was a really nice and relaxing vacation. When we returned, we took a road trip to Silverton, CO, which is 6 hours from where we live. I'll be sharing photos soon. Right now, let's... Continue Reading →
My backyard on January 1, 2022 Hope everyone had a great start to the new year. We got snow and that felt great! We'll see how the year goes, but I'm hoping for a lot less sadness. I don't say much about that side of life because it's just depressing, but I'd really love a... Continue Reading →
October's playlist was very minimal. I wasn't really listening to a lot of music. There were things going on in my life that made it difficult to focus on what I'm passionate about. I've had moments where I'm just not sure why I'm doing what I'm doing. I think a lot of it has to... Continue Reading →
Before I share my list, just thought I'd mention that I'm doing Camp Nano this month. Goal is 30K words for a romance novella. It's something different from the sci-fi and fantasy stuff. As you know, I love music. I track monthly favorites in my bujo. I do it pretty sloppily but it's nice being... Continue Reading →
The year flew by. I tried and failed at many things this year, but this last day of the year, I'm going to share the positive things, and my favorites. The photo above is a dish I made trying out roasted purple cauliflower. It's hard to see but to the right of the salmon is... Continue Reading →
July was a busy month. Swim is done for my youngest. It was very intense and we're glad to be done with it but we will probably join a less rigorous swim team during the school year. School starts for my youngest this coming Monday. She'll be in 5th grade, the last grade in grade... Continue Reading →
I've been reading and writing and just haven't been able to post a lot. I've also decided to return to college to finish my master's degree. I only have 7 classes left so I figured I might as well go for it. I've also begun to edit other writer's work because that's what I'd like... Continue Reading →
The kids are on spring break so I get a break from driving everywhere. With this little down time, I'm able to do a ton of stuff: write, draw, write, spend time on FB writing groups, etc. It's nice. I'm also reading a book that I'm almost done with and getting ready to review. A... Continue Reading →
If you celebrate Mother's Day, I hope you had a great one. I always enjoy going over my mom's house to see my parents and siblings and to catch up on life. A lot of times, the siblings and I like to talk and debate about politics and entertainment, and at times things can get... Continue Reading →
Earlier this year I stumbled upon this music from Ryan Taubert and found it difficult to stop listening to it. I've been trying to write a fantasy novel about a type of fairy going extinct and this song playing in the background helped moved the story along. This song also got me hooked on Assassin's...
