Winter Reads
I work for a community college, and in higher academia, we are blessed with having a winter break that spans a little over a month. My years have taught me that I have to be careful with this time, because it feels like I have a lot of it. I do; it just goes quickly, […]

This morning, I was like, hey! When is National Novel READING Month, but I was informed by my kids that NaNoReMO is a year long affair.

In Memory of William Goldman
I am a child of The Princess Bride movie. The witty banter, the belief in true love… the passion for adventure. It’s crazy that my literary week has been consumed with William Goldman only to hear that he passed away. It wasn’t easy explaining that to the kids. I had them fall in love with […]

NaNoWriMo and Caffeinated Rebellious Adolescents
My son’s school is expanding, which kind of sucks because my property taxes went up, but it’s exciting because it looks like my kids now go to the school of the FUTURE.
