ATENȚIE MARE! SPOILERE LA GREU!!!

DACĂ NU AȚI URMĂRIT SERIALUL PÎNĂ LA CAPĂT, NU CITIȚI CELE CE URMEAZĂ!

Cu ochii cârpiți de somnul întrerupt la crăpatul de ziuă, nu mă pot țâne totuși să nu-mi dau și eu cu părerea despre ultimul sezon din Game of Thrones, producția HBO. Asta fiindcă ba mă zgândăr...

Okay, I’m calling it.

Table of Stone will NOT be done by the deadline of by Friday. I’m giving myself another month. Which is going to be interesting, because you know what is done on Friday?

School.

Well, technically, school actually ends a week from tomorrow. But the school where J attends want...

The light is here longer now. 

My girl is finishing her freshman year of high school. She just got a learner's permit. She's a better horseback rider than I am and wields a mean powerpoint. 

And oh, my God, how is it possible she's going to be a high school sophomore in a few weeks?

I started thi...

I began transforming our converted attic / game room into a medieval lair at the suggestion of my oldest son. Little did I know how fun or how challenging it would be. Of course part of the challenge is being thrifty, as in not spending any money on the decor. Medieval design uses a lot of iron w...

When I first started homeschooling, I had an idea of what it would look like. But I still had questions. What were the homeschool basics I’d need to know? With no one to guide me, I did what I assumed was the norm– I ordered a huge box of curriculum, bought old school des...

The box has sat on the bottom shelf of one of four tall bookshelves in my office at work for almost exactly 10 years now. It’s a standard-issue banker’s box, white with black lettering and holes at either end for handles, a bit worn in places, nothing remarkable about it other than its simple pre...

The post I hate how few episodes there are of Barry appeared first on Mindy Kaling.

When you first started out teaching Spanish, I bet you heard the same thing over and over again: grammar is the key, follow the textbook, drills, exercises, and tests are the best way to teach. You took that advice to heart, but it was hard to know where to start. As you kept on researching, […]

I almost got sad while writing this post for the very last episode of Game of Thrones. Not just because it was the end of an (overall) amazing show, but because I have really enjoyed channeling all my sarcasm and bad sense of humor into these posts. What am I going to spend my Mondays […]

Today the second book in the AFTER TWELVE series by Laney Wylde—IF SHE PLAYS HIS GAME—is now available in print! Perfect for fans of television shows like REVENGE, SCANDAL, and VERONICA MARS, the AFTER TWELVE Series is a gritty social-issue drama that delivers steamy romance, intrigue, and the...

Let me start by sharing what led me to start the Zak Bates Eco-Adventure Series so you’ll understand why this series has such a special place in my heart. My love for reading science fiction and fantasy started the summer before I entered the fourth grade shortly after my widowed mother moved us...

If you’re creating content in your WordPress blog yourself, you probably use the bare minimum features in WordPress. I get it; there’s a lot there, and most of it can seem overly technical.

But I want to introduce you to a few key things to pay attention to when creating content so that you maximi...

In Sweden, prosecutors have applied to the Swedish courts to issue a warrant for Julian’s arrest. There is a tremendous back story to that simple statement.

The European Arrest Warrant must be issued from one country to another by a judicial authority. The original Swedish request for Assange’s ex...

Una niña de 15 meses caminaba frente a mí cuando yo estaba sentada en una banca esperando a que me llamaran en un restaurante. Cinco pasos detrás de ella estaba su padre. Me vió mirando a su hija con una expresión que preguntaba: “¿De quién es esa niña? ¿Está perdida? ¿Está sola?” Me hizo tranqui...

It’s been a little over a month now since my Goalcast video went viral. It’s had close to 35 MILLION views and hundreds of thousands of shares and comments.

The number one thing I didn’t anticipate is the sad reality that about one in five of the comments are from women who have lived through dom...

As I’ve previously noted, May is an especially hectic month for me this year. This post is being prepared a couple weeks in advance, but if all goes as planned these words will go live mere hours after my return from the Nebula Conference in L.A. and I’ll already be repacking to travel to Beijin...
