Seeings as April is National Poetry Month, and there is in fact a poetry writing workshop going on at work tonight, I feel it's only fitting to write at least one poem as I'm doing this A to Z Challenge. Keep in mind that I'm not much of a poet, but I try my best. … Continue reading Easter (a poem)
Anyone who truly knows me knows that I can be very indecisive - a terrible trait to have. I have a hard time deciding even the simplest of things sometimes - like what to eat for breakfast. If I'm not craving something or have it planned out in my head, it's torture. Or if I'm … Continue reading Decisions, Decisions
Boy, do I have a lot of cousins. I'm just talking about on my mom's side of the family. I've only ever met three of my cousins from my dad's side. To be fair, most of my mom's family still lives in our hometown and she had more siblings than my dad. Thus, more cousins. … Continue reading Cousins
For those not familiar with what Bookstagram is, you can take a guess. Got it? Yep, it's the book lover's Instagram community!

I hate to say this, but I think I might be reading too many books in a short amount of time. Lately I'm always shocked to look back and see what books I read because I feel like I read those books ages ago; not just a month ago. It's probably not going to stop me … Continue reading Recent Reads [March 2017]

Things take a nasty turn … Continue reading The Third Twin [book review]
What was your childhood like? Was it normal? Why or why not? This question pops up a lot on prompts for bloggers to do for when they get stuck, but it's one that I've wanted to write about for years now... I just haven't gotten around to it until now. My childhood was definitely a … Continue reading Growing Up in a Pizza Place

In the first seven chapters of the book he tries to find fulfillment in worldly things, such as scientific discovery, … Continue reading Meaningless

This was initially started on Pottermore a few years ago, and we Harry Potter fans like to keep it going each year (even if the website doesn't). I've been seeing my Instagram feed filled with plenty of house pride this week, and finally, … Continue reading Ravenclaw Pride Day
Two years ago I posted My Essential iPhone Apps to share some of my favorite apps with you all, but we all know that things change. Since this post I have deleted a few of those apps either because they were no longer useful or I didn't like the updates they've gone through over the … Continue reading My Essential iPhone Apps [2017 Update]
Hey everyone! I hope your week is going well - mine is, despite the fact we got two feet of snow. Oh well, I guess it's still technically winter, but not for long! I'm so ready for spring!
