Yes, I know this sounds insane but I swear it’s true.

My daughter and I came to this conclusion the other day.

It was a day like any other. We went to work, came home, had tea, did the usual daily chores… It was evening when we discovered this startling revelation.

A wee while ago, when tra-la-la-la-ing over to Nostalgia-Land, I reviewed three Nancy Drew mysteries.  Yes, I admit I’m kinda hooked because, since then, three more have been happily perused.

Still enjoying the series—but the “classic” ones (read during youth) as opposed to the “newer” ones (revam...

WOW, what a read!  I’m kicking myself for taking so long to pick this book up. It’s been on my list since it was first released, and it’s AMAZING!  I think the best word I can come up with to sum up the story as a whole is unique! Paranormal isn’t my usual go-to, but I do thoroughly enj...

While I walked G at the beach one morning, we passed two ladies who were jogging. (Well, they would call it jogging, but I swear G and I were walking faster.)
