Our Adoption Story
It's that time again. If you've been around long, you know that I do this every year. What I'm posting is the same thing I always post, so feel free to skip it if you've seen it before.
It's been six years today since my fist son was born. I can't believe the time has gone by so quickly...it's felt like no time at all.
Every year I re-post the post ( Read more... ) -
Book Review: Vacations from Hell
I will preface this by saying that I generally dislike short stories. You don't have enough time in so few words to latch onto the characters, the plot, AND the prose. Generally at least one of the three will suffer ( Read more... ) -
Music Monday ~ Concerts From the Past 18 Months
So, since today is #musicmonday on twitter, I thought I'd do something a little more comprehensive than just tweet a single song. I went through and made a list of the concerts I've been to in the past year and a half, then made a playlist of my fave(ish) song by each artist.

My Entire Town is Shut down for a week due to SWINE FLU!!!!
Seriously. Four cases at the highschool where my hubby works. FAIL.

Greg gave it to him and this morning at the conference ( Read more... ) -
FAMILY IS THE PEOPLE YOU CHOOSE TO LOVE
I've been thinking about this a lot lately. Partly because today is a major anniversary in my life - it's been five years to the day since Gryffin's adoption was finalized - and partly because of some other things that are going on right now. Perhaps it's because I was adopted myself and am also an adoptive mommy, but I have a very Whedonesque view ( Read more... ) -
Epic Spoiler Free Review ~ STARGAZER by Claudia Gray
So it seems that 2009 is "The Year of the ARC" around here. Two of the books that I was most eager to have in my grubby little hands (which both are set to release on the same day, March 24th 2009, my husband's birthday) I managed to swing ARCs of in contests held by their authors. Pretty cool, right? I thought so, too. The first book as you know ( Read more... ) -
