I’m a mom of boys…well now they are men but they are still messy boys at heart. For our TV time together, we’ve always watched sports or Turtle-Man back in the day. When they were young, my sons and hubby ganged up on me when it was time to get new furniture for the den and convinced me to purchase a reclining sofa, a reclining love seat and a single recliner. … Read More »

As I sit down to type out this review I realize I’m scared I’ll spoil the story somehow so I’m going to be very vague. Just know that I sat down to read It Ends with Us and had a lot of trouble putting it down even though I was away with friends for the weekend! … Read More »

One of my favorite parts of The Aha! Connection is meeting new people and connecting them with others who NEED to know them! Back when my kids were young, participating in sports and attending the local schools, it was so easy to meet way more than one new person every single day. … Read More »

It’s been over 10 years since I read Cutting for Stone by Abraham Verghese. I remember thinking I may never (ever) read a book that good ever again. I’ve been waiting more than 13 years for him to write another book! After reading an article about his new book, The Covenant of Water, I could not download it to my Kindle fast enough. … Read More »

Yes, I have my very own washer and dryer in my home. It has been a long time
since I’ve been in a laundromat…probably a few decades actually. I mostly remember scrambling to find quarters. So I was pretty intrigued to find out what a laundromat looks like in 2023. … Read More »
