The Christmas Recap 2016

Saturday- My birthday! I leveled up to 32 this year and I felt just fine about that.  My parents took me to breakfast for my birthday and then they took Kyra for a bit so that Robert and I could get some things done before we had Christmas as their place that evening.  Christmas Eve was spent happily enjoying my family, eating loads of tasty food, and of course opening gifts.  After...

My Best Books of 2016

I didn't get as much reading done this year as I would have liked and some books I wish I would have skipped but here in no particular order are my top picks for 2016!  A Thousand Naked Strangers: A Paramedic's Wild Ride to the Edge and Back by Kevin Hazzard-A book I picked up on a whim simply because the title struck me. Some amazing stories from the authors time as a paramedic. Some things...

Confessions 12/21/16

1. I confess that I had part of this post drafted for a totally different post from last week but Kiya got  really sick on Friday and the post never got published. I was scared that she wasn't going to make it and admittedly got completely distracted. I am happy to report that she is doing just fine! 2. I confess that I have been adding artwork to Robert's lunches. This one from last week...

My "Must Watch" Christmas Movies

1. How the Grinch Stole Christmas (Animated Version ONLY)- I am not a fan of the live action version at all. The story is completely backward from the original tale and while certain parts make me laugh out loud (Most of the Grinch parts) the Whos in Whoville make me really sad. They are supposed to be the moral center...not the Grinch! 2. Muppet Christmas Carol- I remember going to see this...

What I Read...November 2016

 So many good books this month! Totally made up for the lackluster reading in October. I cannot wait to share with you all! 1. Suck In Your Stomach and Put some Color On! by Shellie Rushing Tomlinson - This book as Steph so nicely puts it Passed the Time just fine. It was funny and a quick read though at times repetitive. Some of things that her mother said however rang right back to...

Thoughts and Confessions

Every time I sit down to read/comment on a blog I get distracted. I'm like that dog Dug from UP. Seriously I have no idea where my focus has gone but I need to get it together again.  I am still working on my pictures/blog for the recap of my girl's weekend. I am the SLOWEST ever at recaps I swear.  I really wanted to do Vlogmas but  (1) I can't find the charger to my camera. ...
