Book: Still re-reading “The Last Child” by John Hart. In the meantime, I discovered “The Good Wife” has Season 6 released on Hulu. One of the smartest shows ever! The writing is so funny, and you learn so much about the behind the scenes of politics and the law. Recipes: I almost titled this post …
Good Morning! It is our First Day of School here! Book: I finished “Big Little Lies” by Liane Moriarty. I think her last name rocks! What a fun last name, don’t you think? But anyway, the book is hilarious, the ending is jaw dropping and the conclusion perfect. Great beach read and fun fiction. …
Book: The reviews for “The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up” by Marie Kondo are quite amusing. Here are the major points of the book. I like how they are highlighted in bold. That way I can just read the bold font and skip over the rest 🙂 Let’s start with one of the funniest …
TED Talks “Math Class Needs a Makeover”: I always find these TED talks sooooo mind-bendingly interesting. This one is my new latest favorite. Dan Meyer speaks to the audience about the backwards way students are presented with problems. His premise is that the math problems in textbooks are nothing like real life. No one in real …
Book Update: I finally finished a book! Good golly it’s been like 3 months. Anyway, I read the book Michael Connely’s “The Gods of Guilt”. It was a typical Michael Connely book – fun, twists and turns, fast paced. If you haven’t read one then start with “The Lincoln Lawyer”. And, no I …
I stopped reading “The Opposite of Lonliness” by Marina Keegan. The intro and first essay were excellent. After that, the entire book loses my interest. I wouldn’t recommend it. Recipe: I have been a little obsessive with butternut squash. I’ve made it into soup and lasagna. Now, it is just straight up mashed! You can make …
Below I have a summary of updates, a product review and recipe for my new FAVORITE side dish right now: Cauliflower Popcorn! Update: Boy, do I have some cool crafts waiting for the blog! This summer we made chalkboard coasters from the 2 cent tiles at Lowes and pom pom flowers out of $2 tissue …
*Book Update* I finished “Before Happiness” by Shawn Achor and find it even better than his first book, “The Happiness Advantage.” The problem with a lot of these college studies is their sample source: young college students. Most of us aren’t young college students and most of us were not privileged to attend Harvard, Yale …
This may be one of the dumbest or greatest things I’ve bought for my kitchen. I will have to let you know once I receive it and start using it. We love breakfast sandwiches, but the assembly and everything can take time. I don’t always have them frozen on hand, so I thought this might …
Book Update: I started the second book “A Thousand Splendid Suns” from our book club. It is one of her favorite books ever, but it is not for everyone. If you read his other book, “Kite Runner”, then you probably have an idea of what the other book will contain. Oh! And Veronica Roth …
