Book It!
I’m back at work now, so even my available time for listening to audiobooks has dropped. But, I am still trying to make time to do a little bit of reading. I was able to finish 2 audiobooks this month, and made some progress on a couple of real books. Speakers of the Dead Speakers…
Read MoreGet Organized with Redbubble
I am a messy person by nature, tossing all of my stuff into what I like to consider “organized piles.” Unfortunately, those piles tend to get so large that they stop being organized, or worse yet, they are in places like my purse, which become a giant black hole. That’s why I’m a huge fan…
Read MoreBookish Questions – Paperback or Hardback?
Paperback or Hardback? As I mentioned in my last Bookish Questions post about Special Editions, I love hardback books. Especially hardback books that are pretty. If I plan to keep a book to read multiple times, I would much rather have a hardback edition of the novel, but if it’s something I’m not likely to…
Read MoreMildred Jane at 3 Months
At 3 month’s old, Milli is 9lbs and 14oz, just more than double her birth weight. She is starting to make happy noises and look at you when you talk to her. Most of the time, Mildred is a happy baby. When she isn’t being held, her favorite thing to do is to sit in…
Read MoreFashion Friday – A Classy Diaper Bag
I have a big thing about carrying a classy looking purse. I want my bags to be leather (or vegan leather) with no pattern. Don’t get me wrong, I went thru a Vera Bradley phase back in the day, but I find that a nice leather bag with clean lines in a good neutral can…

How do you feel about special editions of books? Special editions of novels are the bane of my existence – or, at least my pocketbook. I mean, I love them, and I have the means to buy them, which is how I end up with so many different versions of the same novel. Fortunately there…
Read MoreVaccinate Your Children
As the mom of a preemie, one of the things I had to worry about in those first few weeks after Milli was born was the higher risk of illness. That’s why I could hardly believe it when CNN recently ran a news story about a Measles outbreak in Minnesota. That’s right, Minnesota, United States…
Read MoreBack to School
Yesterday was my first day back in the office. It went surprisingly well. Milli managed not to fuss too much, and we got her to the sitter and me to the office with 10 minutes to spare. I can only hope that things will continue to go so smoothly. The only problem I really had…
Read MoreBook It! – Audiobooks Are Thrilling
Having Mildred has really cut into my reading time in the last couple of months, so I made it a point to go to the local library and renew my membership early this month. One of the great things about my library is that they participate in Overdrive so, along with being able to check…
