Seasonal Toys – Halloween Edition
A lot of parents love switching out their kids’ toys, because toys get more play when they feel new. I’m not very good at that, but we do have seasonal toys. I have an entire tub of toys that Mil gets out and plays with during spooky season – tho secretly, part of them aren’t…
Read MoreTemu Shopping Pros & Cons
After hearing friends and family talk about ordering from Temu over the last year or so, I finally broke down and tried Temu. And since there is still a lot of argument over whether using Temu is good or bad, I thought I would share my experience. So far, my experience with shopping Temu has…
Read MoreBookish Questions – What is your favorite genre?
I love reading most genres of books, and as a mood reader, the genre I prefer changes from time to time. Right now, I find myself mostly reading Urban Fantasy. I’m currently making my way thru the audio editions of Jim Butcher’s The Dresden Files. I love listening to James Marsters as the narrator. He…

Thanks to an ice storm, Mil & I had a day off yesterday. Or more specifically, Mil had a day off and I had a remote work day. Remote work days are a little hard when you’re home alone with a 5-year-old. She really wanted me to play with her, and had a difficult understanding…

That being said, I…

Thanks to the lovely Daenel over at Living Outside the Stacks, I’ve discovered one of those fun old-school Blog Questionnaires. And I’m super excited to participate. This one is called 10 on the 10th, and is a list of 10 questions that we can answer to tell you more about ourselves each month. It’s hosted…
Read MoreWhat I’m Reading
My goal this year is just to manage to read 1 book a month. So far, I’m keeping up with that, and even exceeding a bit, as I’ve somehow managed to complete 2 books so far in February. I started the year with one of Terry Pratchett’s Discworld novels, Wyrd Sisters. My copy is one…
Read MoreSnow Days
We got loads of ice (and a little snow) last Wednesday and Thursday. Enough that I got 2 days of working from home with my tiny human in tow. Fortunately for me, the hubs was also off on Thursday, so he was able to hang out with Mil during parts of the day, allowing me…
