I’ve been working toward simplifying my life for about a year. Week by week, I declutter a bit more. I pare down my schedule. I turn off more notifications on my phone. It hasn’t been an easy journey. I’m used to being very busy all of the time, but it’s a journey that I needed […]

Look at Us Now: A Creative Family Journal
Journaling is a wonderful way to relieve stress and become more mindful. It’s something that I have been exploring lately to become more centered and to really pay attention to what’s important in my life and what I’m spending my time doing. It’s so easy to lose track of what your goals are and fill […]
My Mystical Wonderland Art Therapy Coloring Book
I had never heard of an art therapy coloring book, but I have been doing a bit of reading about ways to manage stress when I came across the term. I’ve tried meditation, but it really doesn’t work well for me. Coloring and drawing, however, are very relaxing and a great way to unwind at […]
The League and the Lantern by Brian Wells
Reading young adult books is a guilty pleasure of mine. I love losing myself for a few hours in a good adventure story. In most cases, the plots are much more enjoyable without much of the complicated nonsense that comes with adult books. They are good clean fun that is entertaining and engaging. The League […]
Enchanted: The Fairy Revels Collection
I use to dream of finding the secret doorway to the faerie realm when I was a teenager. Of course, when I found it, I’d meet a handsome faerie guy and we’d fall in love and live happily ever after. Of course, that never happened, but it certainly was a lot more fun to dream […]
Little Chickies / Los Pollitos Board Book Review
My father was in the Navy when I was born, so I was born in San Juan, Puerto Rico and spent the first few years of my life there. I have always been fascinated by the Spanish language, and I like to think it’s because I was exposed to it so much when I was […]
Jeff Probst Challenge Yourself Review
The Jeff Probst Challenge Yourself books were so much fun to read. Marty and I have always enjoyed learning new things. As a matter of fact, Marty knows more of what I call “information no one else knows” than anyone else I have ever met. He’s always sharing interesting facts like “The Nile River stretches […]
Jeff Probst Stranded Series Review
Are you familiar with Jeff Probst Stranded series? If the name Jeff Probst sounds familiar, it’s probably because you know him as the host of the series Survivor. Survivor is one of Marty and my favorite shows to watch. As much as I enjoy Survivor, I had no idea that Jeff Probst was also a […]
Courting Justice by Mark Dubowitz
Courting Justice by Mark Dubowitz was an interesting look at a landmark Supreme Court case about Iranian terrorism. My husband and I have always been fascinated with the legal system and enjoy books and movies about how the process works. We enjoy learning about how the legal system works differently in civil, criminal and international […]
Devices of War Trilogy by S M Blooding
I traveled to Los Angeles last week for one of my blogs so I knew I would need something to read during the long flight. I was sent the Devices of War Trilogy for review and since I’m a huge fan of science fiction, I decided this would be the perfect book series to take […]
