The Three Lives of Alix St. Pierre by Natasha Lester. Ive been reading this book on and off the past week when I wasn’t trying to finish my latest design, wishing I could have devoured it in one sitting. I finally sat outside enjoying the warm sun and finished off this novel today. It was…

Griefs life changing lessons
Tomorrow marks three years since my dad passed away and also one of my sisters birthdays. It’s kind of heartwarming how so many special days are associated with my dad. There’s so much that has changed for me in these past three years, and I think the last year has had the most changes. Maybe…

Book Review | The Soulmate
Last night I finished the latest book from Sally Hepworth called The Soulmate. I loved it! Her books are amazing. This one was another that just couldn’t be put down. I have a knitting project I’ve been trying to work on, but the pull to read this was stronger, so this it was! At this…

So I decided to take a quick trip down to rapid city, South Dakota with the kids last weekend. Just for the night. It’s about a five hour drive one way, so not too bad when you have a good enough reason to go. And I did. First, my husband was on a vacation with…

5 Reasons I love Valentine’s Day
I can’t imagine being someone who didn’t like Valentine’s Day. Regardless of being in a relationship or single, the day can always be enjoyed. You don’t need to be with someone to enjoy red/pink/hearts. Some people say well you know it’s just a Hallmark holiday. I don’t think hallmark invented it, so no it’s not.…

A Giant Snowman, Valentines things, Crumbl
So funny thing. Earlier this week, one of my sisters and one of my brothers sent me articles about this thirty foot tall snowman in Buffalo. My sisters article was from Fox News in Arizona! I looked up the address and saw this giant snowman was only a couple miles from my moms. So off…

Memories of Christmas Past
Christmas has always been my favorite holiday. No matter my age, any circumstances around the time (I’ve been nearly due and overdue with babies at Christmas, my dad was diagnosed with cancer Christmas Eve) it always, still today, has a feeling of true happiness and love. Growing up, the entire month of December was fabulous.…
