It is officially the first day of 2021, and as a tradition, Josh and I will be sitting down to reflect over our plans and dreams for 2020 while also setting new ones for 2021. I love this process because it reminds me of all of the things that keep me focused on those difficult …

Recipe for a Perfect Wife
Men, that probably never read this blog, don’t let the title of this book full you…Recipe for a Perfect Wife will not all of a sudden give you a wife that is eager to do all of the things you currently hate doing. In fact, it will only continue to promote that strong, independent female …
American Dirt
American Dirt by Jeanine Cummins is FIRE! I can’t honestly do this one justice, so I’m not going to try. I work in a community that is 97% Hispanic. I work in a school with students that have fled countries that were no longer safe. I work with students that I don’t know a single …
On the Bright Side
With the current state of our nation and all of the events surrounding the pandemic that is Covid-19, I’ve decided to take this Spring Break and the next few weeks to really catch up on a few book reviews.

The Paper Wasp
I’ve officially quit. I quit a book that I thought would be so good. Reviews said decent things, and one version of the cover is edgy beyond belief, which made me believe it would fit into my love of Indie Books. However, it did not… It’s silly, but quitting books is so hard for me. …

Winter Stroll
If you’re anything like me, you’re not ready to let go of the holidays just yet. Tomorrow, I officially go back to work, but I have found a way to maintain daily festive cheer since Christmas Day…mainly through Hallmark movies and the barenaked tree in our living room that will be boxed and put away …

A twin to Danny, Seraphine finds that the photo she has just discovered only contains her mom, older brother Edwin, her dad, and a newborn baby, which …
Clock Dance
Before my first date with Josh, I knew I was interested in him. However, he had not really paid much attention to me. In fact, I was headed on a blind date the first time he ever really texted me and asked questions of true interest. Headed to that blind date and the whole time …
The Stationery Shop
When Josh first mentioned we should finally take that Boston trip we had been discussing for the last two years, he sold it to me like the true businessman that he is by paying close attention to his client. “We can go to bookstores and coffee shops while we’re there. I’ve seen a lot of …
