I’ve got a short quick rundown of some new favorite things! Let’s get started. May is speeding by faster than a Kardashian divorce and I’ll be packing up soon for our Colorado trip. Today was the last day of school and I honestly do not know if I should be dancing a boozy tune for …

I love a good police procedural and this is a fast-paced thriller that hit all the right buttons on my checklist. This is the second book in the Detective Rachel Prince series. And I need more Rachel Prince. Dt. Rachel is asked to investigate a case that is supposedly already solved. Emily’s family is not …
I’ll start by saying I didn’t realize this was technically a Young Adult thriller until a few chapters in. Yes, I knew the characters were in high school, but I once steered clear of YA thrillers. Many of them are not very well-written and lack real character depth. Jennifer Donaldson BLEW ME AWAY with her …
Oh Lorna. Why can’t you just stop and smell the roses and enjoy your life? Why do you have to be so unlikeable? And why can’t I put this book down? Lorna lives in a strictly regimented world and every minute is scheduled. This routine is her only means of coping with the guilt she …
It’s been an eventful past few weeks. Not long after we moved into the house, Stephen noticed he wasn’t feeling great. He was noticing he seemed to feel run-down and lacking energy. Those that know him know he’s the ultimate Energizer bunny. He waited until after the holidays to talk to his doctor and the …
The year is ——-> <——- this close to being halfway over and my gym routine is not exactly routine. I’m consistently running, but not consistently hitting the gym for classes or the weights room. I’m consistently hitting the couch with my Kindle and not one bit ashamed. I’m now a more well-rounded individual with all …
Katherine Center gives us a book so full of life, it’s blinding and tragic and beautiful. Margaret Jacobsen is just about to step into the bright future she’s worked for so hard and so long: a new dream job, a fiancé she adores, and the promise of a picture-perfect life just around the corner. Then, …
I recently received the 3rd book in this series in a my Romance Reveal Subscription box and was blown away by this author. I immediately found the first 2 books and downloaded for a long rainy afternoon. I have since re-read this book 3 times in May. S. Ferguson has become an instant buy for …

We’re bringing paper back, y’all. I’ve been a paper planner for years. Back in elementary school, picking out my planner for back-to-school was the highlight of my week. I checked for paper thickness, size, ease of use, color, etc. Keep in mind, this was light years before the digital apps came out. But even after …
Spring has definitely sprung and that means our school garden is ready for some harvesting! We are so incredibly fortunate to have a school garden funded by Schoolyard Roots (formerly the Druid City Garden Project). This partnership brings a fully functioning school garden for teaching all the students about gardens, based on the state standards. …
I just have to do this. Y’all excuse me for a moment. For the young kids who don’t get this…. Now that I’m gotten that one out of my system, let’s get on with upcoming posts in May. These may or may not actually get posted because 1) it’s May and 2) I’m a teacher …
