Thanks for stopping by my blog! The hats I wear include wife (to a retired Army field artilleryman), mom to three super busy teens, and high school math teacher. In my “free time” I love cooking, reading, creating (mostly papercrafts), photography, travelling, and exploring the PNW with my family…you know, all the usual things!
I hope you’ll find some inspiration, entertainment, and something that makes you smile here. I look forward to hearing from you!

October Books of the Month
I don’t know what happened to me this month…I’ve been a totally schizophrenic book reader! I start one, it doesn’t grab me in the first 50 pages or so, and I give up on it and start another. I think … Continue reading

Moving Books
…And by that, I mean the books I read while we were moving. The books themselves did not, by and largely, particularly move me. I’m just providing a quick synopsis, and, if I felt strongly about a book, my humble … Continue reading

Altered Memo Books
My crazy kids love those little composition books, carrying them along to Mass or on the school bus or in the car when we’re driving anywhere more than two miles away. I happen to think they make perfect little book … Continue reading

June Books of the Month
Oh, my! I spent WAAAAAY more time than I should have reading this month, thanks to a couple of books I couldn’t put down. But that’s what summer break is all about, right? Neglecting housework, laundry, and cooking and enjoying … Continue reading
May Books of the Month
I heard someone say the other day, “I think I’m busier this time of year than I am at the holidays.” I would have to agree…with spring concerts, field trips, graduations, and this little move two thousand miles back across … Continue reading

April Books of the Month
With all these April showers (of snow), you’d think I would have done nothing but read this month. Then my kids had Spring Break and expected to be entertained, and Princess Thundercloud celebrated her 5th birthday (and celebrated and celebrated). … Continue reading
