“Where the birds wait…”

1.) I’ve noticed that since school has been out (I’m taking this semester off) I’ve been far more relaxed, which translates into being a better mom (not just having more time to do fun things, but more energy and so more *want* to take the time to do them). This realization has been both scary [...]

Series I’ve found.

I’ve finished reading through a few books that I want to mention. They are all part of a series, which is nice, because if you find one you really like, you don’t have to pout when you come to the last page. Jeaniene Frost’s Night Huntress series.

How can it possibly be time for this already?

More reading.

Since I’ve been sick for the past week, I’ve been spending a ton of time sitting on my @ss and reading the Drake Sisters’ series. I just finished the last (published) book, Turbulent Sea, and it’s my favorite. The storyline was incredibly intriguing, and I really appreciated the complexity of the two main characters. After [...]

And we’re off!

I moved the Kid to a toddler bed yesterday. He’ll be three years old next month, and his crib is starting to get a little worn out. He’s never tried to climb out of it, but he’s getting so tall that it was getting dangerous for him to sleep in it. He loves his new [...]
