What’s Next On My Reading List?
I don’t read enough. Well, actually, I read all the time – a news article here, a blog post there, and my daily dose of whatever Kidzilla is reading aloud. But all too often lately, I don’t get to sit and read something of my choosing for any extended period of time. Or maybe it’s just that…

Summer Reading with Kidzilla
Summer reading programs are simply awesome. As far as I’m concerned, any program that gets kids reading and introduces them to new books is awesome. Like many children, Kidzilla participates in our public library’s summer reading program. She loves books. She loves to read. Hitting the library opens up a whole new world of reading…

TToT – Summer Break Week One
I feel like I should have a whole lot more to list here this week and somehow I’m struggling to remember what to add. I’m also struggling with a good title and so please notice the lame one I’ve settled for. Since I’ve already missed half the weekend, I guess I’ll just go with what…

TToT – Later, January!
Goodbye, January! I’m so over you. Why? Because Polar Vortex, that’s why. I never thought I’d be so happy to see the temperature read 32 degrees in my life. Let’s get right down to business. First, I’m going with the theme of being thankful for others’ happiness. Monday of this week, the Fab Hub took…

Read Any Good Books Lately?
I can’t resist a good questionnaire or survey. Ever. I’ve seen this A to Z book survey about fifty times or more in e-mail forwards over the years, and about that many on various blogs. Eventually, I cracked and figured I’d jump on board and give it a whirl. This was so much fun! Join…

What I’m Reading – An Everlasting Meal
I am late to Mama Kat’s Thursday link-up party, but this week’s writing prompts uh, prompted me to finally post about my current favorite book. For most of the summer, I have been digging into the pages of Tamar Adler’s An Everlasting Meal. I thought that I would wait to post here until I had read every…

Turning the Page
Time passed. Phase completed. Mission accomplished. My breath of fresh air last night gave me just the inspiration I needed to push through to these “ends.” Now I can turn the page, smooth the book open, and begin the next chapter.

Ten Things I Love/Hate About Me
Know that saying, “The more things change, the more they stay the same?” It’s actually a French proverb, attributed to French novelist Alphonse Karr. An often-debated topic is whether people can actually change or whether a person’s nature is constant throughout his or her life. In considering this question, I thought of several things about…

Has the first day of school always been this exhausting? Wow. Kidzilla made it through the first day of her new pre-K class with flying colors, despite her initial nervousness. Zilla loves school.

Five Favorites for Friday
How’s that for some serious alliteration? It has been a really exhausting week for so many reasons. I’m tired. I’m drained. My feet hurt. And I desperately need a shower before I crash face down on the bed and pass out. You know what those days feel like, right? For today, I have just a…
